Siti Network Ltd vs Pooja Communication & Anr on 13 April, 2023
13. The judgment of Punjab and Haryana High Court, In Hans Raj & Anr Vs.
Union of India, (2014) SCC Online P & H 11497, wherein a suit filed by Chief
Engineer on behalf of Union of India, was dismissed on the ground that the
suit was not filed by a duly authorized person, is not of any avail to
Respondent, in view of present fact and circumstances of case in hand, as
well as law of Apex Court given in United Bank of India, supra. The lack of an
authorization letter, though it is very well there in the file of department,
shown before this Tribunal, is merely procedural defect, which doesn't go to
the root of matter. A substantive right is not allowed to be defeated on
account of procedural irregularity.
