Supreme Court ordered TN to either return 970 acres of land it had acquired in 2009-10 for the establishment of industries or pay compensation to landowners NEW DELHI: Already facing a fiscal crisis, Tamil Nadu Monday found itself in a difficult situation when Supreme Court ordered it to either return 970 acres of land it had acquired in 2009-10 for establishment of industries or pay compensation to landowners at the market rate as of January 1, 2014.Appearing for State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT), senior advocates A M Singhvi and Prashanto Sen told a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana that government is ready to pay Rs 21 crore as per the earlier procedure. However, senior advocate Arvind Nayar, appearing for a landowner’s trust, said though the acquisition process began in 2009-10, no award was passed, thereby rendering the process incomplete.Nayar said Tamil Nadu government has been sitting on the land for nearly two decades and not paid a penny as compensation to landowners. “The Madras HC found that since the central law on payment of compensation for acquisition of land had come into force, the cutoff date would be Jan 1, 2014.” Singhvi said if Jan 1, 2014, was made the cutoff date, the compensation amount would increase from Rs 21 crore to more than Rs 180 crore and impose a heavy burden on the state’s finances.But Supreme Court said, “When you acquire land, you must be prepared to pay adequate compensation to the landowners. Why should they suffer because of government’s inaction? You wanted land for industries, so you pay compensation at market rate.”Singhvi then requested Supreme Court to limit the relief of higher compensation to the 10 petitioners who had approached the court. But the bench said if the state finds it difficult to pay compensation as directed, it would have to return the land to owners in six weeks.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Structural reform must NEW DELHI: As government informed Supreme Court that a high-powered committee has been formed for education reform, the court said Monday that some “out-of-box thinking” was needed to address problems faced by the sector, including the recurring problem of paper leaks.Appearing before a bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe, solicitor general Tushar Mehta told Supreme Court the PM has announced a high-powered task force headed by ex-executive chairperson of Infosys, Nandan Nilekani, to recommend structural reforms. The court was hearing a PIL seeking that the medical entrance be shifted to a computer-based test.Mehta told the bench that the court was scheduled to take up the NEET paper leak petition on Aug 3 and pleaded that this petition be tagged and heard with them.Deferring the hearing to August 3, the bench said govt needed to examine what additional safeguard was required to conduct the online exam and ensure data security.Amid protests by the youth against paper leaks and demands that govt fix accountability and bring reforms, Supreme Court on July 24 said the system’s ad hocism was “troubling”, which could not be allowed to go on, and assured that it would “tread the extra mile” to fix the problems and make NEET foolproof.”We are focusing on institutionalisation.

The apex court has issued notice to the Centre for its response NEW DELHI: Observing that there are “enormous issues” with the working of 10th Schedule, Supreme Court Monday agreed to hear senior advocate Kapil Sibal’s plea for interpretation of anti-defection law in order to curb illegal defections through the route of political party merger.Though a bench of Justices P S Narasimha and Alok Aradhe said the issue ought to be raised in Parliament, it agreed to examine the matter after Sibal submitted that it would not be addressed in Parliament as it benefits those in power. The court then issued notice to Centre seeking its response.”These are issues typically to be raised before the floor of the House; if not, then at least before political parties. The 10th Schedule is intended to regulate the mechanism between the legislators… We have been seeing it. There are enormous issues with the 10th Schedule. But who made it? It’s the making of the MPs,” bench said.At the outset, Sibal submitted that the issue raised by his petition is very important and could have huge repercussions for the country’s polity. “Electoral verdict can be changed through this process. A majority can become a minority, and a minority can become a majority,” he said.Sibal has personally entered the legal battlefield by petitioning Supreme Court on the working of anti-defection law and said the interpretation of 10th Schedule’s fourth paragraph (which permits mergers) is the need of the hour. Sibal cited many instances of defection and subsequent merger of rebel MLAs and MPs with another party, including those affecting Sena UBT and TMC after the West Bengal elections.Sena UBT has also moved a petition questioning the Lok Sabha Speaker’s decision to allow the merger of six of its nine MPs with rival Sena party led by Eknath Shinde. Entertaining the petition last week, the apex court sought responses from Centre and Lok Sabha Secretariat.The fourth paragraph of 10th Schedule carves out an exception to disqualification for defections. It provides that members of a House would not be disqualified if their parent party merges with another, or objects to such merger and prefers to function as a separate group. It also says that “the merger of the original political party of a member of a House shall be deemed to have taken place if, and only if, not less than two-thirds of the members of the legislature party concerned have agreed to such merger”.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

IBC is to facilitate the resolution process and not to eclipse the statutory remedies NEW DELHI: Promoters of real estate companies use pending insolvency proceedings as a shield to protect themselves in court cases filed by homebuyers for not giving possession of flats, but Supreme Court on Monday clarified that a moratorium against the corporate debtor does not give protection to promoters and directors, and proceedings can continue against them.A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta quashed an order passed by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission by which a consumer complaint against promoters and directors of a Bengaluru-based real estate company was stayed in view of insolvency proceedings against the company. The court allowed the plea of homebuyers who challenged the NCDRC order.Moratorium to preserve assets of corporate for resolution: Supreme CourtSection 14 of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code provides that once insolvency process begins and a moratorium is declared, the continuation of pending suits and proceedings against the corporate debtor, including execution proceedings, comes to an automatic halt. The object of this moratorium is to preserve the assets of the corporate debtor during the insolvency resolution proceedings and to facilitate an orderly resolution.Explaining the provision, the bench said it was not open either to the adjudicating authority or the court to enlarge its ambit beyond what the statute contemplated, and a plain reading of the provision made it clear that the moratorium operated against the corporate debtor alone.“No other category, whether it be any subsidiary company, any managers/directors, personal guarantors etc, can be added to it unless specifically provided,” it said.Homebuyers had moved SC through advocate Chandrachur Bhattacharya, contending that promoters of the company could not claim protection of the moratorium. Accepting their plea, the court said the protective sweep of a moratorium must remain within the four walls as carved out by the statute.“It ought not be expanded in a manner that stultifies remedies envisaged under the Consumer Protection Act, unless expressly provided. Code is to facilitate the resolution process and not to eclipse the statutory remedies,” the bench said while reviving the proceedings against promoters of Mantri Technology Constellation Pvt Ltd.“In the present case, respondent no. 1 (company) alone is the corporate debtor against whom the CIRP has been initiated. No independent moratorium or independent protection operates in favour of respondent nos. 2 to 7 (promoters and directors). In the absence of any legal bar against continuation of proceedings qua the said respondents, NCDRC was not justified in rejecting appellants’ prayer to proceed with the complaint against the rest of the respondents,” the bench said.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

NDA MPs expressed solidarity with Pradhan when he arrived in the Parliament complex on Monday NEW DELHI: “Nothing happened. I am a street fighter, not an AC-room activist,” was former education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s riposte to Congress MP Jairam Ramesh’s “It happens” remarks to him as he came to Parliament Monday two days after quitting the post due to protests over paper leaks.BJP-led NDA MPs expressed solidarity with Pradhan when he arrived in the Parliament complex – the first time since 2014 as just an MP. Many raised “Dharmendra Pradhan zindabad” slogan and escorted him inside. Darbhanga MP Gopal Jee Thakur placed a traditional Mithila Paag on his head while another MP honoured him with an ‘angavastram’.Seen together with senior ministers and party functionaries along with cadre visiting the ex-minister, the public display of support in the Parliament complex was seen as BJP’s way of sending a clear message that Pradhan’s resignation was no reflection on his work. MPs emphasised that Pradhan resigned even though there were no personal allegations against him.His combative response to Ramesh showed that Pradhan, buoyed by support from colleagues, may be getting ready to respond to personal attacks during any discussion on the NEET paper leak issue.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
