casestatus.in Summary

Summary of C.A. No. 002332/2000 - Mohammed Gazi v. State of M.P. The Supreme Court allowed Mohammed Gazi's appeal, holding that he cannot be penalized for failing to lift Tendu leaves when prevented from doing so by a court stay order issued in a writ petition where he was not impleaded as a party. The Court found the contract frustrated due to impossibility of performance and held that legal maxims—"actus curiae neminem gravabit" (an act of court shall prejudice no man) and "lex non cogit ad impossibilia" (law does not compel impossibilities)—apply. The Court set aside the High Court Division Bench's order deducting Rs.30,000 from the security deposit and restored the Single Judge's order directing full refund of the earnest money deposited.
