Court: Mumbai Aurangabad

Decided on: Jul-28-2015

Oral Judgment: 1. At the very outset, the learned Advocates submit that they have no objection if this Court hears these petitions. 2. Both these petitions were admitted by the orders dated 15.09.1994 and 20.10.1994. Interim relief in terms of prayer clause (F) was granted in the first petition which was preferred by the Management. As a consequence, the impugned judgment of the Industrial Court dated 10.08.1994 in Revision (ULP) No.11/1992 has been stayed. Consequentially, the Workman has not been reinstated. 3. Both these petitions are in relation to the same litigating sides. For clarity, they shall be referred to as the Management and the Workman in this judgment. 4. Having heard the learned Advocates appearing for the respective sides at length, I am not adverting to all of their submissions and contentions, since I am remanding Complaint (ULP) No.71/1990 to the Second Labour Court at Ahmednagar. 5. It is undisputed that the Workman was charged for having assaulted an officer with...

Union of India Vs. M/s. Indusind Bank Ltd. and Others

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-27-2015

1. The plaintiff has sued for recovery of Rs.11.02 Cr with interest thereon @ 24% p.a. as per Exhibit K to the plaint. The suit is filed upon invocation of a bank guarantee. The bank guarantee has been given to the plaintiff by defendant No.1 in respect of custom duty payable by defendant No.4. Certain custom duty was levied. The bank guarantee was invoked. That amount was paid. Later there was a second invocation of the same bank guarantee. The defendants obtained an attorney's opinion based upon the invocation and refused to honour that invocation. 2. The real issue between the parties is only whether in a continuing bank guarantee a second or subsequent invocations can be legally made or whether upon the first invocation being honoured the bank guarantee would come to an end. 3. The execution of the bank guarantee and the invocations have been admitted. Hence the parties wisely did not desire to lead oral evidence. There was none to lead. The documentary evidence between the parties...
