Case :- WRIT - C No. - 4630 of 2024

Petitioner :- Gunnebo India Private Limited And Another


Respondent :- Canara Bank Circle Office And 2 Others
Counsel for Petitioner :- Pratik J. Nagar
Counsel for Respondent :- Krishna Mohan Asthana

Hon'ble Saumitra Dayal Singh,J.


Hon'ble Surendra Singh-I,J.
1. Heard Sri M.C.Chaturvedi, learned Senior Counsel assisted by
Sri Pratik J. Nagar and Ms. Jayeeta Sen Gupta, learned counsel for
the petitioners, Sri Krishna Mohan Asthana, learned counsel for
the Bank and learned Standing Counsel.

2. The petitioners are aggrieved by the rejection of their goods


supplied to the respondent-Bank. At present, that rejection has
arisen solely on the strength of test report dated 14.08.2023
submitted by Gujrat Test House, Ahmadabad.

3. The petitioners dispute the said test report. They seek re-test.
Reliance has been placed on the recital of the Joint Team noted on
the test report itself providing for a re-test.

4. Sri Asthana states that the goods have been found to be


substandard. They cannot be accepted by the respondent-Bank. On
query made if the bank could have any objection to the goods
being tested at the same laboratory on the cost bonded by the
petitioner, he has expressed objection. He insists that the report of
Gujrat Test House is sufficient to reject the goods.

5. We are not convinced of the correctness of the stand of the bank


to proceed to reject the entire consignment in facts that are unclear.
The recital of the Joint Team as recorded under test report reads as
below:-

"After reviewing video recording.

Variation of 15 seconds during start/stop with impact tool may be possible. In


a view of this Laboratory has already recommended for re-testing of sample
from the same sample lot."

6. No valid objection may survive in face of the further statement


of learned Senior counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner will
bear the cost for the re-test that may be done by the same testing
laboratory namely Gujrat Test House, Ahmadabad.

7. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction


on the respondent bank to ensure re-testing of another sample of
the same goods supplied by the petitioner. For that purpose, it may
intimate to the petitioner the amount required to be deposited,
within a period of two weeks from today. The petitioner
undertakes to deposit the said amount without 48 hours from
communication of the requirement to make deposit.

8. On such compliance is made, a fresh sample of the goods may


be re-tested by Gujrat Test House Ahmadabad. The parties to
proceed accordingly.

9. Till the communication of the fresh test report, the respondent


bank shall remain obligated to retain the goods supplied by the
petitioner in good condition.
