One should not hold on to govt accommodation endlessly: SC rejects ex-MLA plea
New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to hear a plea of a former Bihar MLA against the demand for over Rs 20 lakh as penal house rent for overstaying in the government bungalow and said, 'One should not hold on to government accommodation endlessly." A bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justices K Vinod Chandran and N V Anjaria was hearing the appeal of former MLA Avanish Kumar Singh against a Patna High Court verdict. A division bench of the high court on April 3 dismissed the intra-court appeal against the single judge bench order upholding the state's demand for over Rs 20.98 lakh as penal house rent for the alleged unauthorised occupation of a government bungalow at Taylor Road in Patna. 'One should not hold on to government accommodation endlessly," the CJI said. The bench, however, granted the former lawmaker the liberty to take steps 'as permissible in law." The plea was later dismissed as withdrawn. The division bench of the high court affirmed the decision of a single judge bench dismissing Singh's petition on the grounds of non-maintainability. The high court said Singh had previously filed and unconditionally withdrawn a similar petition without seeking liberty to refile the case. Singh, a five-time MLA from the Dhaka constituency, was allotted government quarter 3 on Taylor Road in Patna during his tenure as a legislator. Following his resignation as MLA on March 14, 2014, Singh continued to reside in the bungalow until May 12, 2016, a period during which the quarter had already been earmarked for a cabinet minister. The former MLA said after his resignation and subsequent defeat in the 2014 parliamentary elections, he was nominated to the State Legislature Research and Training Bureau and, hence, was entitled to the same perks and privileges as a sitting MLA under a 2008 notification. It was argued in the high court that this entitled him to continue residing in the same bungalow, and challenged the Building Construction Department's letter dated August 24, 2016, demanding Rs 20,98,757 in penal rent for the alleged overstay. Citing the 2008 notification, the high court observed while it extended certain privileges to members of the Research and Training Bureau, it did not authorise them to continue occupying ministerial quarters allotted during their tenure as MLAs. 'It nowhere provides that a former MLA will continue to retain, of his own will, the same government accommodation/quarter which he had earlier occupied as MLA," the high court said.

SC rejects PIL against political parties using national tricolour in their flags
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Monday refused to examine a PIL seeking action against political parties for allegedly using flags with the tricolour along with party symbols. A bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justices K Vinod Chandran and N V Anjaria declined to hear the petition filed by one Sanjay Bhimashankar Thobde, who appeared in person. The plea said certain political parties have been using flag designs closely resembling the national tricolour in their political campaigns, often replacing the Ashoka Chakra with party symbols. It also specifically named Congress, the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction), and the Nationalist Congress Party. The plea said this amounted to a violation of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971. 'Since when are they doing it? Some parties have been doing it since independence," the bench said and rejected the plea. PTI SJK SJK AMK AMK Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Limitation law would apply on arbitration proceedings under MSMED Act: SC
New Delhi, Jul 17 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Thursday held the Limitation Act would be applicable to the arbitration proceedings under the 2006 law on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMED). The law on limitation sets time limits for initiating legal cases and intends to ensure timely resolution of disputes and prevent old claims. 'We have upheld the decision of the High Court to the extent of the Limitation Act being applicable to arbitration proceedings under the MSMED Act…,"a bench comprising justices P S Narasimha and Joymalya Bagchi said. It, however, held that the Limitation Act, 1963 will not apply to conciliation proceedings between parties under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act, 2006. The bench further held 'there is no legal bar in the Limitation Act, the MSMED Act…, or the legal precedents laid down by this court that proscribes conciliation with respect to time-barred debts." Justice Narasimha penning the 51-page verdict for the bench said, 'The Limitation Act does not apply to conciliation proceedings under Section 18(2) of the MSMED Act. A time-barred claim can be referred to conciliation as the expiry of the limitation period does not extinguish the right to recover the amount, including through a settlement agreement that can be arrived at through the conciliatory process." The verdict came on pleas including the one filed by M/s Sonali Power Equipments Pvt Ltd. The bench partly allowed the appeals and set aside a 2023 decision of the Bombay High Court to the extent it held that the Limitation Act applies to both conciliation and arbitration proceedings under the MSMED Act.
