U.P. Jal Nigam & Others vs Prabhat Chandra Jain & Others on 31 January, 1996
As there was no averment that
parameters did not exist in the counter filed, present
appellants did not touch on that aspect. But the High Court
overlooked this vital aspect and proceeded on the footing
that no parameters existed. On that ground alone according
to learned counsel for the appellants the High Court's
judgment is vulnerable. It is also pointed out that the
High Court relied on the decision of this Court in U.P. Jal
Nigam and Ors. v. Prabhat Chandra Jain and others (1996 (2)
SCC 363) to buttress its view. According to learned counsel
for the appellants, bare reading of the said judgment
clearly indicates that it was only applicable in the case of
U.P. Jal Nigam and has no application to the facts of the
present case.
