Decided on: Feb-08-2001

Reported in: 2001(131)ELT552(Cal)

Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta, J.1.

Admittedly, the claim in the writ petition is a money claim. In the writ petition the maintainability point has been raised. However, Mr. Bandyopadhya in his usual fairness does not wish to press the maintainability of the writ petition on the ground of alternative remedy and also on the ground of contractual transaction inasmuch as the writ petition was admitted by this Court without any reservation. Affidavits have been filed. The Court, at the first instance, in exercise of its discretion thought it fit to be entertained. So it was entertained. Therefore as on date the theory of alternative remedy is wholly misplaced now. Coming to the merit of the case, it is the case of the writ petitioner that Respondent/Corporation was entrusted with certain cargoes to be carried from ...
