Mainak Constructions and Builders Pvt Ltd. Vs. Nortel Networks (India) ...

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Aug-19-2010

The Court : The order dated 21st April, 2010, is mentioned. By that order the application was disposed of by appointing an Arbitrator at a consolidated remuneration of Rs.50,000/-. The time to make and publish the Award was four months from the date of service of the order. That order is mentioned for the purpose of its proper implementation. The time to make and publish the Award is expiring but the reference has not been completed. It is true that there is no time prescribed by the Act to make and publish the Award. But it is equally true that when it is made known to the parties by an order of the Court that the arbitral reference has to be completed within four months, due weight has to be given to that mandate. I appreciate the submission made by the parties jointly that the issues have become very contentious and the records are voluminous. That is why, it was not possible to complete the reference within four months. For those reasons, although the parties consent that the time ...

Sankar Lal Sadhukhan Vs. State of West Bengal and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Aug-19-2010

In this writ application the petitioner has inter alia challenged an order, bearing memo. no.174/L&L;/DR dated 5th August, 2010, issued by the Director of Rationing, West Bengal, suspending temporarily the license of the petitioner, the owner of a Fair Price Shop in the Dum Dum area in exercise of power under paragraph 26 of the West Bengal Urban Public Distribution System (Maintenance & Control) Order, 2003. The grounds on which the order of suspension has been issued, have been enumerated in the impugned order. Some of the grounds and in particular, the seventh ground of major discrepancies in stock as entered in the stock register and the stock displayed on the stock board, are undoubtedly serious charges. The charges have, however, been denied. The Director of Rationing was required under paragraph 26 of the 2003 Order to form the opinion that immediate suspension of the Fair Price Shop was in the interest of the general public.

It appears that claim nos. 1, 2 and 3 were awarded in their entirety to the respondent on the basis of admission made by the railways. Such portion of the award has not even been challenged in this application.

The petitioner may proceed with the application, subject to the above condition. List this application after the long vacation.

Smt.Sasawati Ghosh Vs. the State of West Bengal and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Aug-19-2010

The Court : The petitioner applied for permit on route No.71. The application was considered and a letter being Memo No.RTA/236(Con) dated 28.7.2010 was issued to the petitioner offering the petitioner permit subject to compliance with the requisite conditions. In terms of the aforesaid offer letter, the petitioner was required to acquire a vehicle which was either Bharat Stage-III or Bharat Stage-IV. Obtaining finance from HDFC Bank, the petitioner has purchased a Bharat Stage-III vehicle. The vehicle has been registered temporarily. However, the vehicle has not been granted permanent registration on the ground that the vehicle is not Bharat Stage-IV Compliant. The action of the respondent authorities in not registering the vehicle permanently on the ground of the vehicle not being a Bharat Stage-IV vehicle is legally unsustainable. As per the letter of offer the petitioner was required to procure a vehicle which was either Bharat Stage-III or Bharat Stage-IV Compliant. If the petitio...

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Aug-18-2010

The Court: The survey report filed by the Receiver in a sealed cover is opened in Court and taken on record. It is submitted by learned Counsel for the owners that at present he has no instruction.
