1999 (9) TMI 767 - SC - Companies LawWhether the Tribunal could pass an order granting ex parte injunction? Held that:- Appeal allowed. The Tribunal certainly has powers to pass other types of injunction orders or stay orders apart from what is stated in section 19(6). It may issue notice and after hearing the opposite side, pass orders. Or, it may pass ad interim orders without hearing the opposite side and then give a subsequent hearing to the opposite party and pass final orders. Also point out that section 22(2) too does not limit the general powers referred to in section 22(1). All that section 22(2) states is that in respect of the type of applications falling under clause (a) to (h), the Tribunal has only powers as are vested in a civil court. As in this case the counsel for the respondents refused to accept notice and that, therefore, the Tribunal proceeded to pass the impugned order. Thus, the Tribunal had conformed to principles of natural justice. The Tribunal was, there- fore, very much within its powers in passing the order in question. The High Court, therefore, erred in holding that the Tribunal had exceeded its jurisdiction and its order is, therefore, liable to be set aside.
