The Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court stayed “any coercive action for one week” against the chairman and managing director of the Videocon group Venugopal Dhoot and his son Anirudh Dhoot, director of the company, in a case involving non-payments of transportation dues of employees.
The copy of Thursday’s order by a Division Bench of Justice Bhushan Gavai and Justice M.N. Gilani, was made available on Friday.
Last week, a Judicial Magistrate First Class court here had issued a bailable warrant against Mr. Dhoot and his son for failing to appear before the court despite repeated summons.
The case involves non-payment of dues to Hansa Travels Company. Hansa Travels Company, owned by Dilip Chhajed, was deployed for the transportation of some Videocon employees but its dues were allegedly not cleared.
Mr. Chhajed had then lodged a complaint in Sadar police station here, alleging non-payment of Rs. 20 lakh against Videocon.
Advocate Sangram Shirpurkar and advocate Ashish Fule appeared for the applicants and the prosecution was represented by advocate Pradeep Kothari.
