Mohammad Ahmad & Anr. Versus Atma Ram Chauhan & Ors. One half of the lis between landlord and tenant would not reach courts, if tenant agrees to pay the present prevalent market rate of rent of the tenanted premises to the landlord. In that case landlord would also be satisfied that he is getting adequate, just and proper return on the property. But the trend in the litigation between landlord and tenant shows otherwise. Tenant is happy in paying the meagre amount of rent fixed years ago and landlord continues to find out various grounds under the Rent Acts, to evict him some how or the other. This case appears to be another classic example of the aforesaid scenario.

New India Assurance Co. Ltd. vs Manjit Singh & Ors. on 18 May, 2011 – An insurance company would not be liable for payment of compensation in a motor vehicle accident if the driver had been transporting passengers on a learner’s licence, the Delhi High Court held in the case, New India Assurance Ltd vs Manjit singh. However, the company has to pay the decreed amount to the claimants first and then recover it from the driver and owner of the offending vehicle, the judgment said. In this case, a woman died when an auto rickshaw turned turtle due to rash and negligent driving. One of the issues raised was whether the insurance company would be absolved from the liability to pay. The company argued that the driver and owner had violated the terms of the insurance policy by allowing the vehicle to be driven by one without proper and valid licence. The high court ruled that transporting passengers on a learner’s licence, without being accompanied by a licensed driver, would be violation of the insurance policy and the insurer was not liable to pay the compensation amount.

The Supreme Court last week ruled that the criminal trial of directors of a company accused of forging documents to get loan from a bank could not be quashed merely because the loan has been repaid with interest. In this case, Sushil Suri vs CBI, some directors of a pharmaceutical firm, Morpen Laboratories Ltd of Delhi, were charge-sheeted for fabricating false invoices to obtain a hire purchase loan from Punjab & Sind Bank. On information, CBI investigated and charged the directors with fraud, forgery, conspiracy and other criminal offences. Some directors moved the Delhi high court seeking to quash the charge sheet. They argued that they had repaid the loan with interest and therefore the bank or anyone else has not suffered any loss. The high court dismissed their petition. The Supreme Court stated that the high court was justified in doing so as a prima facie case for trial has been made out despite the repayment of the loan.
