Delhi High Court Waives Fine, Orders Samosa Distribution in Cheque Bounce Case
The Delhi High Court waived a Rs 50,000 fine imposed on Indus Birra Beverages in a cheque bounce case after the company sought a waiver. The fine was initially imposed due to the company's failure to disclose a trial court order, which influenced the case outcome. As a condition for waiving the fine, Justice Saurabh Banerjee directed the company's counsel to distribute samosas and tea among the employees of the Delhi High Court Bar Association within one week.
