By the said application, appellant herein challenged the legality and validity of the award dated August, 30, 1990 passed by the learned Sole Arbitrator.2. It has been argued on behalf of the appellant that the learned single Judge has modified the award made by the learned Sole Arbitrator and virtually passed a new award in respect of the disputes between the parties. The learned Senior Counsel representing the appellant referred to the concluding portions of the judgment under appeal and submitted that the learned single Judge had observed that the learned Arbitrator might have for a noble cause directed payment of costs to the Army Central Welfare Fund, but the awarding of costs to a non-party is not permis...

Sanjib Banerjee, J.1. The parties jostle for more leg-space on the Ayurveda bandwagon as it chugs its way to the Occident with its load of mystique and oriental herbs and spices. The plaintiff asserts its exclusive right over the word mark 'Ayur' on the strength of a black and white label registration showing the word 'Ayur' in an unremarkable font with an elliptical band around it. Such label is registered in many classes. The word mark 'Ayu' is registered in favour of the plaintiff in class 5 covering medicinal and like products. On the strength of the word 'Ayur' being the most prominent part of the plaintiff's label registrations and its proprietary right to the word 'Ayu', the plaintiff seeks to stop the defendant's use of any trademark carrying any part of either word over which the plaintiff claims exclusivity.2. Both parties are substantial. The plaintiff's impressive sales figures and advertisement expenses are matched by the defendant's substantial reputation and noticeable p...

Sanjib Banerjee, J.1. Passion and prejudice are two charlatans that lie in stealthy wait to waylay any quasi-judicial adjudication, however noble the purpose of the exercise. To the two original limbs of natural justice of audi alteram partem (nobody shall be condemned unheard) and nemo debet esse judex in propria sua causa (nobody shall be judge of his own cause), has been added a third: the duty to assign reasons. A quasi-judicial order is founded on reason, not instinct. An order made on impression is erroneous in form and substance.2. The petitioner in the present proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenges a decision made on the recommendation of an enquiry commission set up by the University to look into the charges of alleged malpractice involving two theses submitted for PhD degrees under the faculty of science of the University. The full report has been disclosed in the University's affidavit. The one-man enquiry commission has begun the report by rec...
