THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.SAM KOSHY
AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.TUKARAMJI W.P. No. 4776 of 2008 ORDER:(per Hon'ble Sri Justice P.SAM KOSHY) Heard Mr. T. Ramulu, learned counsel for the petitioner. Perused the entire record.
2. The challenge in the present writ petition is to the Award dated 30.01.2008 passed in Permanent Lok Adalat Case No.04 of 2007 by the learned Permanent Lok Adalat, Karimnagar.
3. Having gone through the contents of the pleadings, we are of the considered opinion that the objections so raised by the petitioner company would no longer sustain in the light of the recent landmark decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Canara Bank Vs. G.S. Jayarama 1, whereby, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has emphatically held that the Permanent Lok Adalat also have got wider power in deciding the case on merits.
4. The Writ Petition, thus in the teeth of the aforesaid judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Canara Bank (Supra), does not survive and the same stands dismissed accordingly. No order as to costs.
1 (2022) 5 ALD 57 (SC) 2 Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
