Every contract dispute started as a contract someone didn’t read carefully enough.

9 things to check before you sign. 👇

Sri Sai Wines v. Union of India & Ors.
WP No. 969/2026
AP High Court at Amaravati
Justice Ravi Cheemalapati
Decided: 22.06.2026

[Corporate Junction @corpjunction]

🧵 A customer paid ₹1,000 for liquor via UPI.

He was later booked in a cheating case in Bihar.

Result? The shop owner’s account, ₹8.26 lakh sitting in it, frozen. No notice. No hearing. No explanation.

The AP High Court just called it exactly what it was. 👇

[Corporate Junction @corpjunction]

Writ allowed. SBI directed to defreeze the account.

Receiving a UPI payment from someone later accused of fraud does not make you complicit. It does not justify freezing your livelihood without notice.

State of Odisha & Ors. v. Sagarika Parida
W.A. No. 357 of 2026
High Court of Orissa at Cuttack
Coram: CJ Harish Tandon & Justice Murahari Sri Raman
Decided: 22 June 2026

[Corporate Junction @corpjunction]

🧵 She filled a government verification form saying she had no criminal cases.

She was telling the truth, she genuinely didn’t know cases had been filed against her.

The State discharged her anyway. Then fought her reinstatement all the way to a Division Bench.

They lost. 👇

The takeaway: non-disclosure without knowledge is not suppression. An employer cannot discharge an employee mechanically when the very foundation of “false information”, awareness, is absent and uncontroverted.

Case: The Tirur Service Co-operative Bank Ltd. v. Moideen M.
WP(C) No.45358 of 2024
Kerala High Court | Ziyad Rahman A.A., J.
Decided: 29.06.2026
Citation: 2026:KER:47052

[Corporate Junction @corpjunction]

A 38-yr employee won 2.2L in unpaid gratuity from a consumer commission. Kerala HC just quashed that order because he was never a “consumer” to begin with.

Why 🧵

[Corporate Junction @corpjunction]

Key Takeaway: retiral dues (gratuity, PF, pension) usually don’t belong in consumer forums they have separate statutory remedies. Wrong forum means years lost, even if you’re right.
