Hindustan Construction Company Limited & Anr. vs. Union of India & Ors.

Posted on

Case Number:

Writ Petition (Civil) No. 1074 of 2019

Bench:

Rohinton Fali Nariman

Aniruddha Bose

V. Ramasubramanian

Date of Judgment:

27/11/2019

Relevant Acts:

Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996

Constitution of India

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016

Facts of the Case:

The petitioners were construction firms that had worked as contractors for government agencies on large-scale infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, hydropower, and nuclear reactors, tunnels and rail facilities, etc. The petitioners were aggrieved by the fact that if a cost surge occurred, the government bodies contested it, resulting in a delay in the recovery of their rightful dues, which could only be retrieved either through an arbitration process or civil proceedings. They were unable to recover their debts from government bodies through insolvency proceedings as government bodies were not covered by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

The petitioner argued that the unamended Act violated the UNCITRAL Model Law by prohibiting the use of two key aspects of award debtor, one during setting aside procedures under section 34 and the other during enforcement proceedings under section 36 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. It was also contended that Section 87 enacted was violative of Article 14, 21, and 300-A of the Constitution as it weakened the binding nature of an arbitral ruling by removing the vested power of enforcement.

The respondents stated that the 2019 amendment inserting Section 87 and revocation of Section 26 by claiming that the interpretation of Section 26 in the BCCI case was purely declaratory and there was no merit in the petitioner’s statement that the interpretation is unconstitutional. The respondents also asserted that the BCCI ruling, it was said, was just declaratory and did not invalidate any executive action. As a result, section 87 merely clarified the original legislative meaning and had no incidence on the BCCI judgment.

The issue before the High Court:

Whether Section 87 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 introduced by the 2019 Amendment Act is valid?

The ratio of the Case:

The SC concurred with the respondents that no direct and substantiating reference to the BCCI decision was required to negate it through legislation. The court also concluded that, when read in conjunction with the IBC, Section 87 had ludicrous effects, such as award holders being unable to recover funds from award debtors and being insolvent. Subsequently, the court ruled that the addition of Section 87 and the repeal of Section 26 were in violation of Article 14. 

The Supreme Court explained in BCCI v. Kochi Cricket Private Limited (2018) that while the 2015 Amendment Act was prospective in nature, the change in the position regarding the former automatic stay against enforcement was applicable retrospectively. The Supreme Court stated that section 87 was enacted solely to implement the Srikrishna Committee Report’s advice to remove doubt around the potential applicability of the 2015 Amendment Act when such uncertainty had already been resolved by the BCCI ruling.

The decision of the Court:

The Supreme Court concurred with the Petitioner that the addition of section 87 resurrects the problem that the 2015 Amendment Act attempted to address and is thus unconstitutional. The SC further agreed with the Petitioners that, when read in conjunction with the IBC, section 87 results in an illogical result, namely, the award holder becoming insolvent due to its inability to recover money under arbitral awards. As a result, the Supreme Court concluded that the 2015 Amendment Act’s inclusion of section 87 and deletion of section 26 violated Article 14 of the Indian Constitution.

Karansinh Chetansinh Vaghela through Wife Vaghela Bhumikaba Karansinh vs. the State Of Gujarat

Posted on

Case Number:

Letters Patent Appeal No. 699 of 2021 in Special Civil Application No. 6853 of 2021

Bench:

Chief Justice Vikram Nath

Justice Biren Vaishnav

Date of Judgment:

23/08/2021

Relevant Acts:

Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949

Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985

Facts of the Case:

The appellant being in jail was detained according to the provisions of the Gujarat Prohibition Act under Sections 66(1)(b), 65(a), 65(e), 116-B, 98(2), and 81 concerning the order dated on April 06, 2021, in the backdrop of registration of offenses against the appellant.

Contentions were raised under Article 226 of the Indian Constitution about the detention of the appellant stating that the appellant was arraigned in the offenses where he does not fall within the scope of the definition of “Bootlegger” section 2(b) of the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985.

Advocate Mohddanish M. Barejia, representing the appellant-detenue, argued that the detenu does not fit the definition of a “bootlegger” as defined by Section 2(b) of the Gujarat Prevention of Anti-social Activities Act, 1985, and that there was no violation of the law, indicating “public order,” entailing his detention.

Assistant Government Pleader Shruti Pathak rejected the prayer, claiming that the detaining authority’s powers and procedural precautions were not designed to allow people to continue criminal acts, and thus the detention was justified and is in accordance with the law’s procedures.

The issue before the High Court:

Whether the subjective satisfaction exercised by the detaining authority deserves no interference?

Whether there was any disturbance of public because a solitary offense has been registered against the detenue?

The ratio of the Case:

In the case of Aartiben W/o Nandubhai Jayantibhai Sujnani vs. Commissioner of Police in L.P.A. No.2732 of 2010, the court cited a clear distinction made by the Supreme Court between public and law.

The court stated that the term “public order” implies that not every assault or harm to a specific person results in public disorder. Any law infringement impacts order, but before it can be called to affect public order, it must affect the community or the general public at large. Thus, a simple disturbance of law and order that leads to disruption is not always adequate for proceedings under the Preventive Detention Act, but a disturbance that will impact public order qualifies.

Based on a detailed examination of the order of detention, which includes the grounds for the custody and the materials on record, the Court examined the contentions, albeit the Court was hesitant to interfere with the detaining authority’s subjective satisfaction.

The decision of the Court:

The Court stated that based on the facts of the case and an examination of the law, the appellant could not be classified as a bootlegger. The Court decided that numerous instances could not designate a person as a bootlegger in this case because there is only one FOR connected to prohibition offenses.

The appeal of the Letters Patent has been granted. The learned Single Judge’s judgment and ruling in Special Civil Applications No.6853 of 2021, dated June 24, 2021, was quashed and set aside by the Division Bench and the appellant was ordered to be set free if not wanted for any other offense.

Equivalent Citation

Criminal Writ Petition no. 6065 of 2019

Bench 

Prithviraj K. Chavan

Date of judgment

 30 September 2020

Act 

Immoral Traffic Prevention Act, 1956

Facts 

The complainant, who is a constable in the police, has approached the social service branch, Mumbai. Mr. Revle has secretly informed that a person Mr. Nijamuddin Khan, a pimp provides women for prostitution in Malad’s guest house. A trap has been set out for the raid in the guest house. The raiding team had arrested a client and victim girls and taken them into custody. The victim girls were produced in Metropolitan Magistrate (MM). They were allowed to contact their parents. In an inquiry it found that the victims belong to the Bediya community, the community has a custom that the girl after attaining puberty sent for prostitution. The victims’ parents were aware of their profession and they did not have a problem. The Magistrate has observed that the girls have not been sent to their parents because it is not safe. The court held that the victims need care and protection. Victims were directed to be detained in shelter homes. They were sent to ‘Nari Niketan’ for one year for shelter and vocational training. The MM order has been challenged and appealed in the session court. The appeal dismissed and confirmed the order passed by MM. 

The issue before the court

Indulging in prostitution is not punishable under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, if the victims are not being forced.

The ratio of the court

Petitioners argued that the lower court’s interpretation of Section 17 of the Immoral Traffic Act is not correct. The victims could not be accused and prosecuted according to Sections 3 and 9 of the Immoral Act. The victims were indulged in prostitution because of their choice. They were not forced by someone. The law clarified by High Court that it does not criminalize sex workers and instead, it seeks to protect them. Sexual exploitation for commercial purposes like pimping and also soliciting or seducing in public places is prohibited under law. Running brothels or allowing prostitution from a place is also illegal. The law assumes that the persons offering their bodies in exchange for money are victims and not doing immoral acts. The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 criminalize sexual exploitation and abuse of a person for commercial purpose and does not criminalize the commission of prostitution. The court observed that petitioners were indulging in the seduction of any person nor were they running a brothel to seduce a person.  The Court has observed the order passed by MM because they belong to a particular caste but the magistrate ought to have considered their willingness and consent before detention. Victims have the right to reside at the place of their choice.

High court decision

The court observed that victims were not prosecuted under the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act so they cannot be detained in ‘Nari Niketan’ or any other institution. The Metropolitan Magistrate does not have the right to hold custody of the victims for more than three weeks in the absence of a final order which is due process of law. The purpose of the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act is prohibited where the victim is forced by a person or seducing any person in public places. But Act does not prohibit prostitution or punished prostitutes. There is no provision under law that criminalizes prostitution or punishes a person who indulges.
