The Birlas had filed five cases against Lodha and four companies contending that the chairman of Birla Corporation had violated a judgment handed down by Justice Sahidhullah Munshi (now retired) by continuing on the boards of these companies and directing their affairs.
Circulars on Covid-19 protocols during elections mean nothing unless they are implemented, a Calcutta High Court bench, headed by the Chief Justice, told the Election Commission of India on Thursday.
The remark came after the commission submitted an affidavit on the implementation of the Covid-19 guidelines during the Assembly election campaigning and at poll booths.
Not being satisfied with its contents, the bench of Chief Justice Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan and Justice Arijit Banerjee asked the counsel of the poll panel to submit “a very short affidavit” again on Friday.
“In view of the urgency of the situation, we cannot but post these matters as the first item tomorrow,” the bench said.
