It held that before proceeding under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (“ Arbitration Act”), the Court ought to impound the document and send it for collection of stamp duty dues. We had analysed how the Garware Judgment took a narrow view on invoking arbitration agreements in unstamped documents, in holding that an arbitration could not be invoked in case of an arbitration agreement forming a part of an unstamped document, until the defect of non-stamping was rectified. We had remarked that much was left to be done to strike a balance between arbitration law, stamping law and the equitable rights of litigants.
Coastal Marine Construction & Engineering Ltd. In our earlier article, we had discussed the decision of the Supreme Court in Garware Wall Ropes Ltd. Kashundi Narkol Mocha - Banana Blossoms with Kash.What happened in the Garware Wall Ropes’ Judgment?." Jak baba, eikahnei bhalo achi", we reassure ourselves and contemplate on ways to make a mid-week Saptami dinner more interesting.Īnd then when the fall air carries with it a fragrance of wood smoke, we carelessly let our minds wander away to the pujo pandals of our childhood where amidst the heavy fragrant smoke of Dhuno, Ma Durga's face came alive with gorjon oil and after hours of fasting for anjali, steaming hot Khichuri in shaal pata doled out at the back of the mandap tasted no less than amrito. We look away from their kashundi-fied selfie, take deep breaths, think how claustrophobic the crowd in the pandals would make us feel and how all that phuchka can end in nothing good but gelusil and choan dhekur. They rustle their heavy silks, bite on their kashundi smeared fish kobiraji, pat their heavily powdered nose and lament, " Aha, ki koshto, Ashtami teo ranna korte hochche re?" Our relatives back home smirk at our plight and thank their stars that they did not go and get a visa stamped. During the week she is " chakki pishing and cooking dinner".
QED!īut for us mere mortals, living away from such overdose of pandals, life is difficult.ĭurga too understands our problem and mostly visits us only during weekends. Thus it has been logically proven that there is ABSOLUTELY NO-NEED to cook during the Pujo days. Neither does Lokkhi, Saraswati, Ganesh or that Karthik? Maybe Baba Shib does, but then again I am not sure.So why should you, tell me?Īnd then if you do cook, who is going to eat it? I mean after eating bhoger khichuri at the pujo pandal, tons of phuchka just outside the pandal, egg roll on the left of the pandal, mutton biriyani only a few steps away from the pandal, fish kobiraji ordered by phone from the pandal, how will you eat the food cooked at home? I mean ideally Ma Durga does not cook on these five days. Durga Pujo is not a time to cook your own food.
