N. India-Bangladesh Business Relations Board (BCBS) v Kumar Sharma v NSEP. Last October, NSEP had issued a notice to Google Inc ( Google ) for violating provisions of “anti-slavery laws” by refusing to help to resolve various disputes, thereby violating the provision of the Bill of Rights which was filed before it. Google, however, failed to disclose that a government and an entity were participating in the project and failed to disclose that they were also holding meetings for their own interests in developing the new search engine, thus being forced to cancel the project. The BSCB appealed the lower court and they were ordered to issue a notice stating that the project violated the Bill of Rights, a law which states that “people tend to seek to obtain good and fair judicial remedy” by doing their daily acts of seeking redress. The BSCB found that the project violated this provision of the Bill of Rights, namely by failing to give the BSCB a legal reason to refuse to allow free consultation and discussion of the project on behalf of its owner or its partners on a forum. This ruling is consistent with the case law of case law states that, for example, a person’s freedom of association and free speech are protected from being harmed based on a common contractual condition such as a right and duty. The BSCB then proceeded to find a different rule of the matter, that if a company were free to work on the project that it shall not give priority to its own good. There can be no doubt about this: the two sides that had been negotiating and meeting between Google and NSEP in these issues were on opposite sides of this issue. As for the decision of the BSCB on the first of the nine claims of the project to be terminated, it goes on to add that the government sought to ensure that a fair trial was conducted on the alleged legal violations by the parties on similar grounds. Thus Google’s offer to pay the court cost of one year is made clear in the first two paragraphs: “NSEP, being a non-conforming partner, can be advised of its obligations to respect their respective rights and duties which prohibit the making or accepting of offers to pay court costs. It is decided on the basis that there is a strong and compelling alternative to the termination of the contract, which is without prejudice to the right protected by the relevant laws.” The government argues, for example, that the cancellation of the contract is legally justified under the existing laws in Article 14 of the Constitution. In his judgement, Lord Singh of the Justice Courts of India for Delhi University observed: “…the present provisions in the Bill of Rights of the Bill of Rights, which are relevant all over the whole world, give an assurance to such companies that their public benefit will be protected or will be reduced. This guarantee is absolutely indispensable.” He considered “the fact that if the proposed provision was adopted by the government, all companies engaged in the scheme … could be legally and legally obliged to pay all of the costs of the project, which would entail a loss in their profits,” if the state does not implement the provisions of Article 14.” In a dissenting judgment on the grounds that article 14 prohibits the state from violating the Bill of Rights, Lord Singh observed: “All such cases are of course to have the same law or other standard and thus are not of any kind to be discussed in such a way that the laws and norms surrounding the Bill of Rights can be disregarded.”
