Court: Patna

Decided on: Jul-09-2004

Ravi S. Dhavan, C.J. 1. The Committee which was placed by the Supreme Court to examine the matter relating to payments to be made to employees of government companies and public sector companies has been disbursing the amounts out of Rupees 50 crores in the matters which were placed before it.

Court: Patna

Decided on: Jul-08-2004

Ravi S. Dhavan, C.J. and Shashank Kr. Singh, J.1. The Court will not repeat how the issues came to be examined upon an inquiry by the District Magistrate, Patna.

Even before the petitioner could present the submissions, the PRDA is accepting that whereas the sanction was provided for only four buildings the fifth building is under an issu...
