Author Bio
The author is terribly wrong and immature. In his analysis he has mixed up two cases as if copying from two different pages of a journal. The issue could neither be raised nor dealt with properly. Rather the result has been reversed from what was held by the Hon’ble court in the judgment. Still his attempt needs to be appreciated and he is expected to be more careful and inquisitive and analytical in future. Instead of commenting on a judgment, he may restrict himself to understanding the issues properly, the judgment and the reasons therefor. LL.M., Ex Legal Adviser, Min. of Law and Justice.
