Dr. Kavitha.A v.Brincy Mani

Kerala High Court

This original petition under Article 227 of the Constitution challenged an order of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal in a transfer dispute within the Dairy Development Department. The 1st respondent, Brincy Mani, a Deputy Director posted at Thrissur, had challenged her transfer to Kozhikode as Principal of the Dairy Training Centre, alleging mala fides and political motivation. The petitioner, Dr. Kavitha.A, who was to be transferred to Thrissur under the same order, sought to vacate the Tribunal's interim order. The Tribunal disposed of the original application, and Dr. Kavitha.A approached the High Court challenging that order.

Prof.D.Aravindakshan v.Union Of India

Kerala High Court · 145720739

The Kerala High Court dismissed a writ petition filed by Prof. D. Aravindakshan challenging the refusal of the Registrar of Companies to approve the name 'Agastya Bio-Tech Limited'. The court found that despite the petitioner's claims, the attempt to register a company with an identical name while disputes regarding the original entity ('Agastya Bio-pharm India Limited') were pending made the proposed name undesirable. This ruling underscores the strict application of corporate naming rules designed to prevent public confusion and deception.
