Strawboard Manufacturing Co vs Gobind on 6 March, 1962
In the case of Strawboard Manufacturing Company Vs. Gobind reported in 1962 Vol I LLJ 420, the Supreme Court rejected the argument that approval should be obtained before dismissal. The Supreme Court had held that the word "simultaneously" must of course be taken reasonably and a motion of split-second timing should not be imported. It should be done at once and without delay. In the present case, the Authority had categorically held that 24 days delay was unexplained and therefore, the time gap is too large.
