Agreement restricting Legal rights

As per section 28 of the Contract Act, any contract abosolutely restricting the legal rights are void to the extent of that restriction.

However, if both parties to the contract, agreed to resolve the proceedings through Arbitration, can any party go beyond that and may file a legal case on any disputed matter to the Court / High Court.

Further my second question is that,

4-5 companies have executed contracts seperately with GOI. They have also formed an association for their benefit of them and to protect their interest against any deteriment. that association is not the party to the contract.

Can that association file a case against GOI against any dispute if arises i.e. can that association being association of all 4-5 companies be a party to the contract.

If yes, can it file a case in the High Court when the parties agree to resolve the matter through arbitration only.

Civil Appl. for amending Writ Petition for Public Law compen

Artist Mumbiram,an Indian citizen, has been married to Nadine Grenz, a german national, since 2002. Their India-born son Hansraj has a German passport. Their application on behalf of Hansraj for a routine 5-year visa extension had been stalled by the Pune FRO and then by the Alibag FRO for a period of 3 and 1/2 years. Also the Alibag FRO had refused to register Nadine for a period of 1 and ½ years thereby making it impossible for her to apply for a further 5-year visa extension..
Encouraged by advice on this forum of Lawyers Club we filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court under articles 226 and 14 of the constitution making the Govt. of Maharashtra and the MHA Respondents along with the FROs.. Upon the intervention of the High Court the Respondents processed and granted the requested visa extension to Hansraj, without any new documents from the Petitioners, within 6 weeks. Also the Respondents duly registered Nadine Grenz, accepted and granted her application for further 5-year visa extension, also within weeks. It is now clear that the Respondents had stalled the Petitioners’ legitimate requests arbitrarily and oppressively for an inordinately long period for no fault of the Petitioners. It is mentionworthy that Artist Dr. Mumbiram represented personally the Petitioners in the 3 hearings of the case.

In the WP the Petitioners have listed damages suffered by them by being made defaulters in the eyes of law for no fault of theirs thereby depriving them of their ability to travel freely within India, enrol Hansraj in educational institutes etc. The petitioners had asked for compensation for damages at the rate of 5000 Rs. Per day for every day of delay over a reasonable period of 1 year.

As the (interim) relief has been achieved, the Court inquired whether the Petitioners would like to withdraw the Petition. The Petitioners expressed their desire to request for compensation as a Public Law remedy for violation of their Fundamental Right to equal treatment under law, as distinct from compensation for damages in private law in torts. The petitioners asked for leave to amend the Petition for this purpose. The Court thereupon advised the Petitioner to make a ‘Civil Application’ for that at the next hearing on June 24.

How is this Civil Application made ? Is there a format to be followed ? Do we already need to include supporting arguments and quote precedents of SC cases where ‘in appropriate cases’ such compensation has been awarded ? We need the full quotations for the following citations: (Nilabati Behera v State of Orissa, 1993) 2 SCC p758 para 10
.(M.C.Mehta v Union of India , 1987, 1 SCC p.408 para 7)
Could anyone provide us these citations ? Other citations where such a compensation has been awarded recently ?

Gifting of House

dear experts,


i along with my brother bought an independent house in Raichur(Karnataka) in 2003,while applying housing loan i was not eligible for housing loan, so my brother applied for housing loan and my father is also co-owner of this house.
but from the beginning i was only paying for all the EMI's. Legally my brother and my father is the owner for this house.
now i have discussed with them to transfer the house to my name and i will be continuing the remaining housing loan.
Even both agreed to transfer the house to me.
now my few queries are as follows.

1 Can they (bother/father) GIFT this house to me.(Still loan is not closed )

2 if Gift is not possible what are other ways of transferring the house to me and i should be able to continue the housing loan in my name so that i can enjoy the tax benefit

3 i have one younger bother and elder brother and one younger sister, do i need to make any kind of legal agreement with them also so that i should not facing any legal claim on this property in future.
