Long custody violates right to life, bail can override MCOCA: Delhi HC

The applicant was arrested in July 2017 for possession of 3 kg of heroin, leading to an FIR under the NDPS Act. He was allegedly part of a drug trafficking syndicate. A separate FIR under MCOCA followed, alleging organized criminal activity. After over 6.5 years in custody, only 11 of 100 witnesses had been examined. The court considered whether prolonged incarceration could justify bail. Referring to Union of India v. K.A. Najeeb and Mohd. Muslim v. State (NCT of Delhi), it emphasized that the right to a speedy trial under Article 21 prevails even under special laws like MCOCA. The applicant was not the kingpin, had good jail conduct, and had already received bail in the NDPS case. The court granted bail with strict conditions including sureties, travel restrictions, and regular reporting.

Suspicion of Affair Not Enough for Dowry Suicide Abetment: Delhi HC

The applicant sought regular bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, related to an FIR under Sections 498A, 304B, and 34 IPC. The deceased, Shivani Singh, was found hanging within five years of marriage. The prosecution alleged physical abuse, dowry pressure regarding car EMIs, and an extramarital affair. The court applied the test from Rajinder Singh v. State of Punjab for Section 304B IPC and found the dowry link inconclusive: there were no complaints by the deceased, EMIs were paid by the applicant, and video evidence was over a year old. On Section 306 IPC, the court, relying on K.V. Prakash Babu and Parul, ruled that mere suspicion of an extramarital affair isn’t enough to prove cruelty or abetment unless linked directly to harassment. Since key evidentiary thresholds weren’t met, the court granted bail, subject to conditions including a personal bond, non-interference with evidence or witnesses, and regular court appearances.

COURT CAN APPOINT ARBITRATOR U/S 11(6) IF NAMED INSTITUTION CEASES: TELANGANA HC

The applicant, a steel plant equipment design company, entered into a contract with the respondent on 28.04.2017 to install a Single Stand Reversing 4-HI Wide Plate Hot Rolling Mill in Hyderabad. The project was delayed by 26 months, which the applicant attributed to the respondent’s lapses, including delays in civil and structural work, readiness of utilities and cranes, equipment delivery, and disruptions caused by the dengue outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic. Despite agreed timeline extensions, the respondent imposed a 10% liquidated damages penalty, which the applicant disputed. Another conflict arose from the respondent’s alleged misuse of the applicant’s proprietary drawings. The court recognized arbitrable issues concerning project delays, imposition of damages, and unauthorized use of confidential materials. Rejecting the respondent’s argument that arbitration should have been initiated through ICADR—now defunct and absorbed into the India International Arbitration Centre—the court invoked a practical interpretation based on Enercon (India) Ltd. v. Enercon Gmbh (2014), supporting arbitration where intent is evident but procedure unworkable. Citing ACC Ltd. v. Global Cements Ltd. (2012), the court held that courts may appoint substitute arbitrators when named institutions no longer function. Accordingly, the court appointed Justice L. Nageswara Rao, Former Supreme Court Judge, as sole arbitrator.

SC: non-public servants can be convicted for abetting offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

The Supreme Court, relying on its earlier ruling in P. Nallammal v. State (1999), reaffirmed that non-public servants can be prosecuted for abetting offences under Section 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. It held that abetment under Section 107 IPC includes instigation, conspiracy, or intentional aiding by act or omission. The appellant was found to have concealed disproportionate assets in her name and facilitated her husband's accumulation of illicit wealth. The Court rejected her claim of divorce, noting she was his wife at the time of the offence, and even otherwise, her actions sufficed for abetment. Additionally, the Court noted she was a public servant then. The appeal was dismissed, and she was ordered to surrender within four weeks.
