LEARNING AND SHARING OF EXPERIENCES

and unauthorised occupation and the circumstances under which an authorised occupation can
become an unauthorised occupation.

• Amarsingh Munnasingh Suryawanshi v. State of Maharashtra case dealt with conviction

with the help of dying declaration. Drafting a summary of the case helped to understand the
evidentiary value of a dying declaration and how it alone cannot used to convict a person. It
must be supported by other evidences.

its contents.

• Anand Kumar v. State of Madhya Pradesh case was with respect to a dying declaration made
by a woman who killed herself due to the mental abuse she was made to face by her in-laws.
Drafting a summary on the case helped to explain the concept of dying declaration and its
admissibility in court.

and formalities required to get an adjournment.

• Researching on filing of a summary suit required reading the section of the Civil Procedure
Code and listing down the procedure in a stepwise format. It helped to understand the procedure
in detail. Further, it will also prove to be useful in future when dealing with the case regarding

college in a practical manner.

• Researching on the polluter pay principle in environment law provided an understanding of the
concept with the help of cases such as Vellore Citizen’s Welfare Forum v. Union of India. The
concept basically means that the person(s) responsible for the damage to the environment must
be held liable and accountable.

• Researching on the promoter’s liability for any defect in quality of the project helped to
understand that the promoter is liable for any defect for a period of five years to the buyers
from date of handing over of possession as per the provision of Sec. 14(3) of RERA.

ANY SIGNIFICANT CASE STUDIES

________________________________________________________

Bhatia International v. Bulk Trading (2002) 4 SCC 105

The facts of the Bhatia case are that the parties to an international contract had decided to arbitrate
their dispute according to the rules of arbitration in Paris, with a sole arbitrator. As the foreign party
wanted to ensure the recovery of its claim from the Indian party in the case of a favourable award, it
moved an Indian court for interim measures securing the property of the Indian party. The Indian party
raised objection to the submitted application on the ground that the arbitration under consideration was
taking place in Paris, and the New York Convention provides no provision for interim measure being
granted by a court other than one in which the arbitration is taking place.

However, the High Court rejected the argument. Thereafter, the Indian party approached the Supreme
Court, which upheld the judgment of the High Court. In crux, it was held by a three judge bench of the
Supreme Court unanimously that Part I of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, which gives
effect to the UNCITRAL Model Law and which moreover bestows power on the Court to grant interim
measures apply even to international commercial arbitrations being held outside India.

This case was overruled by the Bharat Aluminium v. Kaiser Aluminium Technical Services
wherein it was held that:

• Part I of the Act would have no applicability to International Commercial Arbitration held
outside India.
• Part I of the Act shall apply to all arbitrations which take place only within India.
• There can be no overlapping or intermingling of the provisions contained in Part I with that in
Part II of the Act.
• In a foreign seated international commercial arbitration, no application for interim relief would
be maintainable under any provision, as applicability of Part I is restricted to all arbitrations
which take place within India only.
• No suit for interim injunction would be maintainable in India, when the seat of arbitration is
outside India.
• As Part I would have no applicability to international commercial arbitration held outside India,
the arbitral awards will be subject to the jurisdiction of Indian courts when the same are sought
to be enforced in accordance with Part II of the Act.

11 | P a g e
 Institute of Chartered Accountants v. Shaunak H. Satya (2011) 8 SCC 781

In this case an RTI application was filed regarding the instructions given to examiners and the
solutions to the question paper.

The court held that:

• Question papers, solutions to them and instructions within are intellectual property.

• Paper setters and authors are the first owners.

• Furnishing of information by an examining body, in response to an RTI query may not be

termed as a copyright infringement but this is only after the examination has been conducted
and once the evaluation of the answer booklets has been done as it will not cause harm to
anybody.
