LPA No.30 of 2003. 6.5.2008 Present : Mr.R.L.Sood, Senior Advocate with Mr.Arjun Lal, Counsel for the appellant. Mr.Baldev Singh, counsel for respondents 1&2. This Appeal is directed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge of this Court dated September 4, 2003 passed in CWP No.816 of 1996 rejecting the writ petition filed by the present appellant. The appellant (hereinafter referred to as the petitioner) is a Company incorporated under the Indian Companies Act, 1956. It filed a writ petition against the H.P. State Electricity Board and another claiming various reliefs. This writ petition was contested and argued. The learned Single Judge rejected the petition solely on the ground that one Arjun Sharma who had signed the writ petition and filed the affidavit in support of the same was not authorized to file the writ petition. Since the petition was dismissed on this short ground we are not going on the merits of the case. We need not also go into the detailed question as to whether Sh.Arjun Sharma at the time when he filed the writ petition was competent to file the writ petition or not. Alongwith this appeal the appellant has filed a copy of the Resolution of the petitioner Company whereby Mr.Arjun Sharma, Director has been authorized to act on behalf of the Company and his action in filing the writ petition No.816 of 1996 has been ratified. In view of this ratification which is permissible in view of the law laid down by the Apex Court in United Bank of India vs. Naresh Kumar and others, AIR 1997 SC 3, we set-aside the judgment of the learned Single Judge and remand the writ petition to the learned Single Judge to decide the same on its merits. The appeal is allowed in the aforesaid terms. (Deepak Gupta), Judge. May 6, 2008 ( Kuldip Singh ) PV Judge.
