Client - A leading telecom company Subject - Entertainment Tax on Value Added Services on mobile telephones Brief Case - The client received a notice from Excise Commissioner of the state demanding entertainment tax on value added services provided by them on mobile telephones. We drafted a reply to the notice and also prepared the writ petition for filing before the Honourable High Court. Our argument was based on the constitutional rights of State Government to levy tax on services and also on the definition of entertainment under the relevant Act. The Honourable High Court admitted the writ petition and granted stay of all proceedings in the matter of recovery of Entertainment Tax. Draft of our Writ Petition was used by some other telecom operators also. Client - A leading hospital chain Subject: - Failure to file annual return and balance sheet etc. under the Companies Act Brief Case - The hospital chain had decided to collaborate with a Bhopal-based person for setting up a hospital as a joint venture. A company was formed for the purpose. Our client's Chairman was the Chairman of the new company. No progress was made in the project. Our client's Chairman sent his resignation to the company. No information about his resignation was sent to Registrar of Companies. The company did not file annual returns, balance sheet etc. with the Registrar of Companies for about 15 years. The Registrar of Companies filed a criminal case against the company as well as all directors of the company including our client's Chairman. We handled the case successfully at the court in Bhopal as well as at the Company Law Board and the Registrar of Companies office. Neither our client's Chairman (a celebrity) nor any other officer of the client appeared before any court / authority. Client - A fellow IIT alumnus Subject - Violation of Intellectual Property Rights by a leading institute Brief Case - Our client had filed a case against a leading institute and some of its faculty members for violating an agreement and also taking advantage of some innovations that he had developed.
