RAMDAS MOTOR TRANSPORT LTD Vs. KAREDLA SURYANARAYANA

Decided On October 18, 2001
Ramdas Motor Transport Ltd Appellant
V/S
Karedla Suryanarayana Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) TO my mind if the parties adopted a give and take policy, the issue would have been amicably settled by the well wishers of both the parties. As the second respondent is adamant and not heeding the advice of well -wishers and the judicial forums as well, the parties are in the courts for nearly a decade wasting the precious time of the court. Even in this court the respondents did not heed the advice given to them and invited judgment on the merits.

(2.) TO put forth their case both the parties engaged counsel from Madras and arguments in these appeals were heard for nearly three weeks.

(3.) I am in a worse position than their Lordships of the Supreme Court in that case, in hearing marathon arguments addressed by counsel for the respondents on technicalities to injunct me from going into the merits of the case knowingfully well that he is having a bad case on the merits, over three weeks referring to voluminous record and the case law cited before me and the number of days for which I was forced to burn the midnight oil in assimilating the arguments and rendering the judgment running into several pages. Even then I cannot say that I have referred to each and every document or pages referred to by both the parties. I feel that I have considered the documents and case law to the extent of relevancy on the issues that have cropped up for consideration.
