Case brief
What is this about?
Karnataka High Court writ petition (WP No. 507 of 2021, CS-RES) dismissed on 17-07-2025 by Justice Suraj Govindaraj. Petition under Articles 226/227 seeking certiorari against Karnataka Appellate Tribunal order dated 20.03.2020 in Appeal No.149/2017 and award dated 29-03-2016 in Dispute No. J.R.D.D.I.S. 181/2015-16 (co-operative society recovery dispute, Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies as Departmental Arbitrator, Shivamogga). Petitioner's OTS proposal accepted for Rs.42 lakhs but not paid; admission of liability in OTS proposal treated as sufficient; no further aspects considered; petition dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Since the petitioner's One Time Settlement (OTS) proposal was accepted by respondent No.2 for a sum of Rs.42 lakhs and the petitioner did not make payment thereafter, there is no requirement to consider any other aspect because there is an admission of the liability while submitting the OTS proposal.
