2016 (1) TMI 43 - BOMBAY HIGH COURTDenial of legal representation of the Petitioner-Company through its advocate to appear before the Redressal Grievance Committee - whether such denial amounts to denial of reasonable opportunity of defending itself and violation of principles of natural justice? - Held that:- The Petitioner is not entitled to be represented by a lawyer and therefore principles of natural justice will not be violated if the Petitioner is heard without being represented by a lawyer. However, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case and to avoid further delay, we permit the Petitioner to appoint an Advocate to represent the Petitioner provided the Petitioner gives an undertaking that hearing of the matter would be concluded in one day. We accordingly direct the State Bank of India to inform and coordinate with the Petitioner and decide the date of hearing at the earliest. Petitioner has agreed in principle that the hearing will be concluded in one day.
