Mr. Ravi Saberwal Vs. Saturday Club Limited and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jun-15-2011

1. Going by the names of the subscribers to the memorandum of association of the first defendant club, this court may have some excuse in taking interest in matters pertaining to it; yet that can be no reason to give a go-by to the principle that civil courts should leave the management of a company to its members and office-bearers, more so if it is a social club. Five barristers and two solicitors got together in 1909 to set up the Saturday Club and had their agreement witnessed by two other barristers and another solicitor. 2. The suit is by the president and two other members of the general committee of the club challenging their temporary suspension from the club. The reliefs claimed in the suit also call upon the court to ratify certain decisions relating to the club’s affairs taken at the instance of the plaintiffs and in which they betray considerable personal interest. At the interlocutory stage, however, the argument has been confined to the decision of the club to susp...

The petitioner is the first defendant in Title Suit No.88/2007, pending on the file of the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division) 5th Court, South 24 Parganas at Alipore, instituted by the first opposite party (hereafter the plaintiff). It is a suit for declaration and permanent injunction. 2. By an order passed by the learned Judge on November 17, 2009, the suit was to proceed ex-parte against the petitioner and the second defendant since they had refused summonses when tendered and were not contesting it by entering appearance.

It was alleged therein that he had no notice of institution of the suit and was, therefore, unable to enter appearance. He had heard in the locality that the plaintiff had instituted a civil suit against him and several others, where after he contacted a learned advocate who filed an application for informat...

Union of India Vs. Ajabul Biswas

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jun-13-2011

ORDER :1. The Court :- The tenth claim of an arbitral award has come up for consideration on remand. On an application under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the entirety of the award was upheld. An appeal carried from such order affirmed the award except in respect of the amount  awarded under the tenth head of claim. 2. The Appellate Court order of October 3, 2007, inter alia, found that the contractor’s claim on account of idle labour that had been found good to the extent of Rs.9.7 lakh was without basis and required reconsideration. The Appellate Court observed that notwithstanding the extent of interference under the 1996 Act having been curtailed, the award of about Rs.9.7 lakh on account of idle labour “pricked” the conscience of the Appellate Court and the matter was sent down for reconsideration by the Arbitrator. 3. In course of the Appellate Court order, it was observed that since the original period of work was 30 days and si...
