| Bombay high court order to stop probe quashed | 17-AUG-09 |
|
| The Supreme Court has set aside the order of the Bombay high court quashing the investigation against the chairman and managing director of City Limouzines Ltd on a complaint by an investor in the company. The proceedings will thus go on. According to the plan floated by the company, each investor deposited about Rs 1 lakh in a ren-a-car scheme. The car would be purchased in the name of the investor but the vehicle would be used by the company which will pay Rs 4,000 per month to the investor for five years. After 60 months, the agreement would end and the investor is free to take back his car in proper working condition. The dispute arose when an investor was given cheques instead of the car. He filed a complaint with the police, which was quashed by the high court. The government appealed to the Supreme Court (State of Maharashtra vs Sayed Masood) which asked the investigating officer to carry out his inquiry. |
