The Court : Leave is granted under Clause 12 of the Letters Patent subject to the question of its requirement. This is a Section 9 application.

The petitioner claims to have purchased 35% shares from the respondent nos.2 to 10 in the respondent no.12, a public company.

RabIn Ghosh Vs. the State of West Bengal and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-21-2010

The Court: This writ application is directed against the action of the State Transport Authority, West Bengal, in allowing replacement of the vehicle endorsed in permit No.P.St.P.No.05/99(I/R) issued to the petitioner to operate a vehicle on the route Kolkata to Kalyani for a limited period of three months even though the permit is valid till 2014. The vehicle sought to be replaced is a Bharat Stage- II Vehicle. By allowing replacement, the respondent authorities have acknowledged that the vehicle is not unworthy of replacement.

Be it noted that the earlier vehicle was also a Bharat Stage-II Vehicle. But, for the mechanical defect in the vehicle leading to the dispute with its registered owner, the aforesaid vehicle which was also Bharat Stage-II might have been plied for as long as the permit was valid.

ishwari Prasad Singh Roy Vs. Sudha Mukherjee

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-21-2010

The Court: A short point has been taken by the defendant in this suit for recovery of possession in respect of a land which the defendant had occupied under a leave and licence granted by the predecessor-in-interest of the plaintiff. The defendant says that an application for summary judgment for recovery of an immovable property under Chapter XIIIA of the Rules on the Original Side of this Court is available to a landlord but the claim made in the present suit would not be covered by the said provision. On behalf of the plaintiff a judgment reported at 2008(4) Cal LT 113 is cited for the opinion expressed therein at paragraph 10 of the report that notwithstanding the use of the words landlord and tenant in Chapter XIIIA of the Rules, such expressions include lessors and lessees, respectively, and would not be restricted to a landlord and tenant within the meaning of the Premises Tenancy Act applicable in this State.

Budge Budge Refineries Ltd. Vs. Virgoe Oil and Fats Pte. Ltd. and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-21-2010

The Court :- The plaintiff claims that the first defendant has attempted to foist contracts on the plaintiff when, in fact, the plaintiff has not entered into the same. The plaintiff is a regular trader in palm oil. It is an admitted position that the plaintiff and its associate concerns have imported palm oil on regular basis from the first defendant. The second defendant is an officer of the first defendant. The third defendant is an Indian broker engaged in the trade of palm oil. It appears to be the fairly accepted position that orders would be placed on the first defendant foreign party by the plaintiff through the third defendant broker and the sales contracts would be forwarded by the foreign seller to the plaintiff buyer through the third defendant broker. The subject-matter of the suit covers three sales contracts or, alleged sales contracts, as the plaintiff would have it all of August 2008.
