Judges are not experts in economic and fiscal regulatory matters and thus, should not encroach upon these areas and must be more reluctant to impugn the judgment of the experts who may have arrived at a conclusion unless the court is satisfied that there is illegality in the decision itself or such policy could be faulted on the ground of mala fides, arbitrariness, unfairness, etc. Wisdom and advisability of economic policy are not amenable to judicial review. [Small Scale Industrial Manufactures Assn. v. Union of India, (2021) 8 SCC 511<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 \u2014 S. 482 and Ss. 227 & 228 \u2014 Quashment \u2014 Stage of framing of charge:<\/strong> Principles that must keep in mind by High Court while exercising jurisdiction under S. 482 at the stage of framing of charges, summarized.

Petitioner did not attend said meeting, Based on majority decision, District President of party took decision to remove petitioner due to her anti-party activities and respondent appointed in her place. In appeal, the Supreme Court held that the decision taken was in democratic and valid way inasmuch as the same procedure which was followed while selecting appellant as party leader, was followed for removing her and appointing R-3 as Gatneta\/group leader\/party leader.

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 \u2014 Ss. 7 and 3(8) \u2014 Insolvency proceedings against a corporate person being a guarantor of a loan account of the defaulting principal borrower who is not a \u201ccorporate person\u201d:<\/strong> Principal borrower, held, is not required to be \u201ccorporate person\u201d, for initiating such proceedings against guarantor who is a corporate person. A right or cause of action enures to the lender (financial creditor) to proceed against the principal borrower, as well as the guarantor in equal measure in case they commit default in repayment of the amount of debt acting jointly and severally. Further, held, the principal borrower may or may not be a corporate person, but if a corporate person extends guarantee for the loan transaction concerning a principal borrower not being a corporate person, it would still be covered within the meaning of expression \u201ccorporate debtor\u201d in S. 3(8) IBC. The status of the guarantor, who is a corporate person, metamorphoses into corporate debtor, the moment principal borrower (regardless of not being a corporate person) commits default in payment of debt which had become due and payable. Thus, action under S. 7 IBC could be legitimately be invoked even against a guarantor who is corporate person. [Laxmi Pat Surana v. Union Bank of India, (2021) 8 SCC 481<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Land Acquisition and Requisition \u2014 Resettlement\/Rehabilitation or Restoration\/Reallotment \u2014 Employment in lieu of acquisition of lands \u2014 Scheme for:<\/strong> In this case, rehabilitation employment scheme provided that a claimant would be eligible for grant of employment if land acquired for purposes of project is at least 2 acres, No documentary evidence was produced to indicate that respondent had title to land in excess of two acres. Holding of relatives and others cannot be included in holding of respondent merely on basis of self-serving affidavits which would not amount to a conveyance of title. In different rehabilitation schemes compensation and rehabilitation are provided to \u201cfamily\u201d, which includes wife, children, and dependant families only. Relatives who are not dependent on claimant will constitute a separate family unit for purposes of compensation and rehabilitation. Self-serving affidavits executed by father, brother and nephews of claimant cannot be taken as basis of determining whether holding of respondent was in excess of threshold of two acres. Such affidavits create no interest in land particularly when persons who executed those affidavits do not fall within ambit of phrase \u201cfamily\u201d. Thus, held, if claimant does not come within criteria under scheme he cannot claim benefit of the scheme concerned, as in present case. [Eastern Coalfields Ltd. v. Anadinath Banerjee, (2021) 8 SCC 593<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Maharashtra Police Act, 1951 (22 of 1951) \u2014 Ss. 51 to 56 \u2014 Externment \u2014 Object \u2014 Externment order based on satisfaction of authority when deserves interference by Court:<\/strong> Drastic action under these provisions should only be taken in exceptional cases to maintain law and order in a locality and\/or prevent breach of tranquillity and peace.

Medical and Health Law \u2014 Duties of Doctors and Medical Ethics \u2014 Government doctors\/Central\/State Health Services \u2014 Study leave \u2014 Cancellation of \u2014 Whether proper and justified:<\/strong> In this case, study leave granted to appellant Medical Officer posted in Government (NCT) of Delhi Hospital to pursue postgraduate course, revoked vide order dt. 22-1-2021 in terms of policy dt. 20-10-2020 and office order dt. 22-10- 2020 not to grant study leave to doctors working in government hospitals in view of COVID-19 Pandemic. The Supreme Court held that the said policy decision for certain length of time, in apprehension of rise in COVID-19 cases, to ensure availability of maximum doctors possible is neither arbitrary, nor discriminatory, nor violative of Art. 14 of the Constitution. However, further held, Court cannot be oblivious to legitimate expectation of COVID-19 warriors like appellant to fair treatment, in conformity with applicable Service Rules to enable them to pursue higher education. Guidelines\/Directions of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare dt. 2-11-2012 entitled Medical Officer on certain conditions to study leave. [Rohit Kumar v. State (NCT of Delhi), (2021) 8 SCC 381<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 \u2014 Ss. 88, 89, 2(zr) and 18(2): <\/strong>S. 88 provide that RERA would be in addition to and not in derogation of other laws for the time being in force. \u201cLaw for the time being in force\u201d, held, can include laws which come into force in the future. Cognate and allied laws which supplement RERA, held, are saved by S. 88. However, laws which are contrary to and derogate from RERA, such as W.B. Housing Industry Regulation Act, 2017 (41 of 2017) and W.B. Building (Regulation of Promotion of Construction and Transfer by Promoters) Act, 1993 (20 of 1993), held, not saved by S. 88. [Forum for People’s Collective Efforts v. State of W.B., (2021) 8 SCC 599<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Service Law \u2014 Judiciary \u2014 Compulsory retirement:<\/strong> Interference with order based on recommendation of Administrative Committee which commended itself to Full Court of High Court, by Court under writ jurisdiction, when permissible, principles summarized. [High Court of Rajasthan v. Bhanwar Lal Lamror, (2021) 8 SCC 377<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Service Law \u2014 Police \u2014 Appointment \u2014 Antecedents\/Character \u2014 Cancellation\/Refusal of appointment on grounds of \u2014 Post of Police Constable:<\/strong> Cancellation of candidature of respondent candidates (4 in number) by Screening Committee on ground that respondents were involved in criminal cases and in some cases even charges were framed and cognizance taken, after which cases against them were compromised, held proper. [State v. Raj Kumar, (2021) 8 SCC 347<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Service Law \u2014 Reinstatement\/Back Wages\/Arrears \u2014 Back Wages \u2014 Entitlement to \u2014 Unjustified punishment:<\/strong> In this case some articles in godown were found removed and placed near fencing when appellant \u201cRakshak\u201d in Railway Protection Force was on special duty. High Court by impugned judgment found penalty of removal disproportionate to delinquency alleged observed that there was no theft of any railway property since articles were found near fencing after having been removed from godown restoring punishment of reduction of pay to minimum of timescale of Rs 200 for period of two years. The Supreme Court held that even said penalty\/punishment was also unjustified. Considering that appellant was out of employment since 1983 and during pendency of proceedings in High Court he had superannuated and thus, could not be reinstated, respondents directed to pay 33% of back wages with continuity in service and full retiral benefits by giving him notional increments, promotion and benefits based on continuity within stipulated time.
