On the first ground the learned Company Judge observed that the order of winding up had been passed after giving public notice in two newspapers. The learned Judge further observed that even if it was assumed that the copy of the winding up petition had not been received by the appellant at the preadmission stage, the company could have appeared at the time o...

Food Corporation of India and ors. Vs. Gopal Chandra Mukherjee

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Mar-17-2003

Reported in: (2003)3CALLT10(HC)

D.K. Seth, J.1. The award made by the Arbitrator in the dispute between the parties, was made rule of the Court after rejecting the appellants' application under Section 30 of the Arbitration Act, 1940 (1940 Act), by a judgment dated 10th of May, 2000 passed in T.S. No. 74 of 1987 by the learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), 3rd Court, Howrah. Against this decision the present appeal has been filed by the Food Corporation of India (FCI). In the award, the claim of the respondent/claimant was allowed and the counter-claim of FCI was denied altogether.2. One of the grounds taken before this Court is the point of limitation. It appears from Clause 41 at page 84 of the Paper Book (PB) that the scope of arbitration was related to 'all disputes and differences arising out of or any way touching or concerning this Agreement whatsoever (except as to any matter the decision of which is otherwise expressly provided for in the agreement) shall be referred to the sole arbitration of any person ap...

Union of India (Uoi) Vs. Burma Construction and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Mar-17-2003

Reported in: AIR2004Cal174

1. The prayer for stay of operation of the judgment and decree appealed against made by Mr. Sadhan Roychowdhury in this application for stay was opposed by Mr. Suchit Kumar Banerjee, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No. 1. According to him, the Court cannot grant any stay unless the condition contained in Sub-rule (3) Clause (c) of Rule 5 of Order 41 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) is complied with. He contended that Sub-rule (3) of Rule 1 of the Order 41, CPC makes it mandatory for the appellant to secure or deposit the money while preferring an appeal against a money decree. He relies on a decision in Himachal Road Transport Corporation, Shimla v. Sushila Devi, . According to him, Order 27, Rule 8A, CPC refers to Rules 5 and 6 of Order 41, CPC but omits to mention or refer to Order 41, Rule 1(3) CPC. Therefore, Order 41, Rule 1(3), CPC is not subject to Order 27, Rule 8A, CPC even if the appellant is Government, as in the present case. He had also relied on the decis...
