KOCHI, APRIL 13. A Vacation Bench of the Kerala High Court today restrained the Excise Commissioner from granting licence for liquor and toddy shops till April 20. The Bench, comprising Justice P.R. Raman and Justice J. M. James, also directed the Excise Commissioner to file an affidavit before the court within one week when a batch of writ appeals against a single judge's verdict upholding the provisions of the new `abkari' policy came up before it. It was provided in the policy that the licence of contractors facing criminal cases under the Abkari Act should not be renewed. The auctions for liquor and toddy shops are scheduled on April 15.
Imposes cost
Justice C.N. Ramachandran Nair today imposed a cost of Rs.25,000 on a petitioner for trying to block disposal of cases pending before the Debts Recovery Tribunal and for making defamatory remarks against the presiding officer of the tribunal. The court directed the petitioner, Dhananjai D. Deo, to pay the cost to the Kerala Legal Services Authority. The court found that he had filed as many as 25 petitions against the State Bank of India, State Bank of Mysore and Central Bank of India before the court with a view to blocking further proceedings in the cases filed by the banks before the tribunal. The court also noted that he had obtained orders in 24 cases relating to the same matter.
Restrained
Justice P.R. Raman restrained the Tourism Director from finalising tenders for awarding the contract for setting up the Tourism Department's signboards along roads. The interim order was passed on a writ petition filed by a Kerala distributor of the products of LG Chem Private Limited. The petitioner alleged that the Tourism Director had invited tenders without incorporating the specification laid down by the Indian Roads Congress (IRC). In fact, the tenders had been called for making prismatic signboards, violating the specifications of the IRC.
