HC asks CHB, Parsvnath to clear stand on refund
Chandigarh, August 24 The High Court has, in fact, asked their counsels to file detailed affidavits. Taking up the matter, the High Court asserted: “The dispute, in brief, is for the refund of amount deposited by the petitioner for the allotment of a plot. For reasons that need not be dilated, the project between Parsvnath Developers Limited and the CHB could not reach fruition, leaving the allottees without a flat and without hope of ever recovering their money.” “As admitted by the CHB, they have received Rs 516 crore from Parsvnath Developers Limited towards the bid amount and Rs 81.93 crore from the allottees and deposited in an escrow account operated jointly by the builders and the CHB. The money in this account is to be shared in the ratio of 70:30 between the builder and the CHB. The counsels for Parsvnath Developers and the CHB are directed to file their respective affidavits with respect to the assertions,” the court held. The developers and the CHB are in the dock before the Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission also for not repaying money to the depositors, despite orders. One of the depositors, Sudeep Budhiraja, has again moved the Commission by filing an execution application against the developer and the CHB. Acting on the application, the commission has issued notice to the respondents. The application seeks directions to the developer and the CHB to comply with the commission order of October 27, 2010. In the application filed through counsel Naresh Kumar Bansal, Budhiraja has asserted that his application for repayment of money was decided in his favour on October 27, 2010. Directions were issued for the payment of amount with interest and compensation. However, both Parsvnath and the CHB filed appeals before the National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission. On April 29, the national commission passed an interim order in favour of complainant and other depositors with a direction to the housing board to return 85 per cent amount to the depositors within six weeks. Bansal added that the balance was to be deposited with the UT State Commission within eight weeks. The hearing on both the appeals before the national commission was also adjourned to September 8. However, both the parties failed to deposit the amount as per the interim order dated April 29. They even failed to pay amount with interest and compensation, as per order passed by the UT State Commission Chandigarh on October 27.

Clinics liable to provide emergency services: HC
Chandigarh, August 24 For, a Division Bench has upheld the provisions of the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010, which makes such a facility mandatory. The ruling came on a petition filed by Dr Ramneek Singh Bedi and another medical practitioners having their clinics. In their petition, they had sought declaration that the Act was ultra vires or beyond the powers of the Constitution. They had contended the Act lays down the requirement of seeking registration, and provides for penal consequences in the absence of registration. Quoting Section 12 (2) of the Act, the petitioners contended it requires “facilities to stabilise the emergency medical condition of any individual who is brought to clinical establishment”. Taking up the matter, the Bench of Acting Chief Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel and Justice AK Mittal observed: "According to the counsel for the petitioners, the requirement of providing facilities for stabilisation of emergency medical condition of an individual is arbitrary and interference with the right of the petitioners to carry on their profession. “The petitioners are only running their clinics and they may not be able to provide for facilities for stabilising the emergency medical condition of individuals who are brought to such clinics. Those who cannot provide such facilities cannot be debarred from carrying on their medical profession”. After considering the submissions, the Bench asserted: “We are unable to accept the submission…. An individual medical practitioner may not be expected to do something impossible by providing facilities at par with a
big hospital. Interpretation of a statutory provision depends upon situation which
may arise. The provisions of the Act do not create any impossible situation so as to affect the right of the petitioners to practice the medical profession. “There is, thus, no ground to interfere at this stage. The individual fact situation can be considered as and when the same arises. The writ petition is dismissed”.
