The Kerala High Court has upheld the conviction of a businessman in a cheque dishonour case, ruling that a technical defect in the complaint filed through a power of attorney holder could not invalidate the entire criminal proceedings after a full-fledged trial had already taken place.

The dispute arose from the dishonour of two cheques dated February 24, 2014, amounting to ₹19.75 lakh and ₹10 lakh respectively. The complainant, M/s Adisiva Enterprises, alleged that the cheques issued by the accused were returned unpaid.

The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal filed by a waitlisted candidate seeking appointment as Principal of Meerut College in Uttar Pradesh, holding that authorities could not alter his place of posting after the repeal of the earlier recruitment law.

The dispute arose from recruitment for the post of Principal in aided degree colleges in Uttar Pradesh under Advertisement No. 49 of 2019. A select list and a waitlist were published in October 2021. Dr. Manoj Kumar Rawat was placed at serial number 59 in the waitlist.

The Supreme Court of India has clarified that an arbitration clause contained in an earlier redevelopment agreement can become binding in later agreements if those agreements clearly adopt all terms of the original contract.

The dispute arose after Hirani Developers entered into a redevelopment agreement with Nehru Nagar Samruddhi Co-operative Housing Society in 2011 for redevelopment of a dilapidated property. The agreement included an arbitration clause under Clause 36 for resolving disputes through a sole arbitrator.
