Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Sep-17-1999

Reported in: ILR1999KAR4541; 2000(5)KarLJ578

ORDERV.P. Mohan Kumar, J.1. This case was earlier heard by me and I dictated the order. Before I signed the same and on my going through the papers, I felt that the matter requires further hearing and as indicated in Vinod Kumar Singh v Banaras Hindu University and Others. I reported the same for furtherhearing to 10-8-1999. I heard the Counsel for the petitioner as also Mr. P.R. Ramesh and Sri V.S. Naik, the Counsel for the workers. After hearing, I reserved the matter for further orders. As the earlier judgment does not require material alteration except regarding the formulation of the relief to be granted, I am not recalling the said order.This case illustrates an unfortunate and sorry state of affairs prevailing in the conduct of case by the petitioner before the Tribunal as well as before other judicial forum. The petitioner acts, oblivious of the fact that it is the trustee of public fund and the brunt of the loss it sustains is passed on to the faceless and helpless common man ...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Sep-17-1999

Reported in: [2000]102CompCas175b(Kar)

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. This is an application filed by the company M/s. Vintage Hotels Private Ltd. praying for setting aside of the winding up order dated December 4, 1998. The application has been hotly contested and a large number of documents have been filed by the respective parties but I shall confine this order to the points that are strictly germane. The reason is because if there are disputes between the parties which are required to be examined by any other forum then anything said in this order should not be to the advantage of one or to the prejudice of the other.2. The admitted position is that the original winding up petition was filed by the company by the name of M/s. B. P. L. Telecom Ltd. A notice was published in the papers when the petition came to be admitted and as far as this public notice is concerned, the petitioner-company admits it came to its attention. They pointed out that after the notice was received that the company negotiated with the creditor and arrived ...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Sep-17-1999

Reported in: [2000]100CompCas452(Kar)

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. This application has been filed on behalf of the Karnataka State Financial Corporation by learned counsel and learned counsel submits that the sole purpose of filing the application was in order to place before the court a submission on a correct point of procedure. Learned counsel submitted that the Karnataka State Financial Corporation is neither the petitioner nor respondent in the proceedings but that the Karnataka State Financial Corporation is virtually standing outside the proceedings and is represented by learned counsel for a limited purpose, i.e., since the Karnataka State Financial Corporation is the largest secured creditor it is proper and necessary that it be represented at all stages of these proceedings as various submissions need to be advanced even with regard to all issues concerning the properties involved in the winding up proceedings. In this background, learned counsel submitted that the direction to deposit a sum of Rs. 5,000 towards initial ...
