S.B. Sinha, J.Introduction:1. Leave granted in all the special leave petitions.2. The validity and/or legality of a scheme framed by the Coal India Limited for sale of coal by Electronic Auction (E-Auction) is in question in these appeals and transferred applications. 3. 'Coal' indisputably plays an important role in the development of economy of the country. It had been the subject-matter of regulatory measures even under the Defence of India Rules.

Under the Colliery Control Order, the Coal Controller was even authorised to allot quotas of coal to the Central Government as well as the State Governments; although the said procedure is now not in vogue in view of decontrolling notifications issued thereunder by the Central Government from time to time.

Sanjay Kishan Kaul, J.1. The colours of a rainbow are striking and universal. A combination of colours creates its own kaleidoscope. A colour is not the property of any individual, but colour combinations used in a particular pattern may create identification with a product.2. 'What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would also smell as sweet', said William Shakespeare. There is but still a tendency to copy the names because a rose is a rose. An amalgam of colour combinations, names and logos may create a total identification with a product and the allegation of copying the same has given rise to the present litigation.3. The plaintiff is a registered partnership firm engaged in the business of manufacture of incense sticks or agarbathies. Initially, the business was established as a proprietorship concern in 1948 by the father of the present partners of the plaintiff firm and is stated to be now a part of the RANGSONS GROUP started by late Shri N. Ranga Rao. The ...

Sanjib Banerjee, J.1. On the menu is a limited diagnosis of the state of health of the public healthcare in the State. A clutch of petitions challenges a government memorandum of June 12, 2009 and subsequent notices inviting tender for supply of cooked diet for indoor patients at State-run hospitals and like institutions. Most of the petitioners, including the ones in the first petition, are existing suppliers of cooked diet to Government hospitals; some of the other petitioners are not existing suppliers but, like the petitioners in the first petition, intended to put in their bids at the time that the petitions were instituted. The petitioners challenge the notification and the tender terms on two primary grounds: that the eligibility criteria set therein are absurd and mala fide and have no nexus with the work covered thereby; and, that the revised rates for supply of cooked diet to all Government-run hospitals are irrational and contrary to the observations found in at least one ea...
