Madras High Court has observed that a person who enjoyed the benefit of an interim order, is liable to compensate the other party, when the main case is decided against him. Division Bench comprising of Justices V.Ramasubramanian and N.Kirubakaran made this observation in S.Ramesh vs. M/s.Cethar Ltd. The writ petition seeking police protection, filed by Management of a company was allowed, by a final order by single bench subject to the condition that the total amount of around Rs.80, 00,000/-, available partly with the Indian Bank and available partly with the Advocate commissioner shall be disbursed to the 130 permanent employees of the company with the assistance of the learned counsel for the Union. The Single Judge also held that the workers have no right to take the law into their hands and obstruct the goods being taken out, thereby infringing the rights of third party customers.  The police was also directed to give protection to the management to remove the materials. Aggrieved by the said order, the Trade Union preferred Appeal. On Appeal, setting aside the judgment, the Division Bench observed thus “the management has removed part of the goods on the basis of the interim orders passed by the learned Single Judge while appointing an Advocate Commissioner. Therefore, the management cannot any more lay a claim for an amount of around Rs.80,00,000/- now lying in fixed deposit, as it represents not only the salary payable to the workers for the undisputed period but also represents the value of the goods removed, pursuant to the interim orders passed by the learned Single Judge. It is needless to point out that a person who enjoyed the benefit of an interim order, is liable to compensate the other party, when the main case is decided against him”

Private Colleges Cannot Withhold Student’s Certificates For Payment Of Amount

In a significant judgement, the , has held that private self financing Colleges cannot withhold certificates of students, for payment of amount. The practise of withholding the certificates, and non-issuance of transfer certificate to students, to coerce them into meeting unconscionable demands like paying entire course fee for leaving the course midway, or to force them to serve the institution after completion of course, etc is very rampant. In clear unambiguous terms, the Court has held that such practise is illegal and opposed to public policy. Often faced with the supreme bargaining position of the Colleges, the students often execute bonds authorising colleges to do so. But, such bonds have no validity in the eyes of law. It was held that :- “The agreements obtained by the College from petitioners authorising them to withhold the certificates of the petitioners cannot be accepted as an approved social conduct and the same, in that sense, is unethical. Further, agreements of tha...
