THE APPLE (SIB)
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. MK2 Productions Director: Samira Makhmalbaf Writer: Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Samira Makhmalbaf Cast: Ghorban Ali Naderi, Azizeh Mohamadi, Massoumeh Naderi, Zahra Naderi, Zahra Saghrisaz
A recent article in the New York Times science section refers to that perennial question: does money buy happiness? Agreeing with the sentimentalists, sociologists firmly agree that once you have enough for the basics and then some, additional increments don't mean all that much. Though the American standard of living has tripled since 1947 (contrary to what people say about the good old days when you could buy a newspaper for two cents), Americans have proved in surveys to be equally happy from 1950 to 1959, from 1960 to 1969, and from 1990-1999. In fact even people in prison were found to be on the whole as happy as those who are not, which brings us to a startlingly original film, "The Apple." The picture by the 18-year-old director Samira Makhmalbaf (the youngest director ever to have a movie play in a principal section of the Cannes Film Festival), opens on the faces of two 12-year-old girls. They are smiling, and they continue to beam and grin throughout the 85-minute film. Why is their happiness unusual? It is peculiar because they have been imprisoned every day of their lives. Their father, now 65 years old, and their mother, who is blind, kept them locked in their homes so that they were never exposed to the sun, to other people, to the games that all children need if they are to become socialized.
"The Apple," which could be called for want of another genre term a dramatized documentary, portrays Zahra and her twin sister Massoumeh as the daughters of two Turks living in Iran, specifically in a run-down section of southern Tehran. Their 65-year-old dad explains early on to a social worker who has heeded the neighbors' complaints and has come to his residence that he keeps his girls with him at home because he fears that they will be defiled by the local boys. The social worker takes the girls away from their father, sending them to an agency which bathes them apparently for the first time in weeks, gives them short haircuts, and outfits them with new, clean clothing. The girls are returned when their father promises to keep the gate open for them, but he promptly reneges, draws new complaints from the neighbors, and is given a unique punishment by the social agency.
The story, about girls who are so unsocialized that they'd have been better off being brought up by wolves, is arresting enough. What makes "The Apple" particularly compelling is that the actors are not only non-professionals: the parts are played by the involved people themselves. The bearded father, who wears Coke-bottle glasses, agreed to this Pirandellian arrangement because he believed that the movie would clear him from the dishonor which he feels was heaped upon him by a society that did not understand his apprehensions. Newspapers and TV exaggerated, insisting that the girls were chained up. Their dad, who insists that this never happened, believes to this day that he had done the right thing.
Truth to tell, there are few professional thesps who could match the old man's performance. Breaking into lilting prayer in which he invites God to take him from this vale of tears, the guy draws sympathy from the audience for his sincerity. Speaking metaphorically, he compares the sun to boys, and flowers to girls: "If the sun shines upon the flowers, they fade." If anyone disbelieves that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, "The Apple" will wipe the doubts away.  They have been so "protected" from the outside world that they scarcely know how to walk, and their conversation is more unintelligible than that of the goat that hangs around outside their home. The animal knows even how to eat an ice cream pop in a more mannerly way than these young women, who appear retarded at first, but as they play with others whom they instantly befriend, they seem to grow intellectually and emotionally in leaps and bounds.
The apple of the title is metaphoric, standing for the sexual knowledge with which Eve tempted Adam. That piece of fruit figures in various scenes. In one situation, the girls take the fruit from a vendor, not even realizing that they are stealing. In the most transparent metaphor, a boy of about nine years dangles an apple on the end of a pole, urging the girls to jump and try to reach it.
"The Apple," which features improvised dialogue from the neighbors who complained to the social agency, says something about the power of women in Iran. Though we in the west may believe that all Fundamentalist states are alike, it's significant that a social worker has the power to disagree forcefully with the man of the house, to take the girls away from him, and in one humorous incident to lock the man inside his own house as a taste of his own medicine. "The Apple" is unusual and evocative in many different ways: in its image of a society caught between medievalism and modern striving; in the spontaneity of the actual people involved in the publicized actions; and in the speed with which the film was wrapped. It's certainly not as charming as the amazing "Children of Heaven" or "The White Balloon," but stands as a striking example of Iranian cinema verite.

Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz: Match Preview and Predictions - 22nd November 2019
by Jason MillsMatch details
Fixture: Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz
Date & Time: Saturday, 22 November 2019, 9:00 pm ET.
Venue: Vivint Smart Home Arena, Salt Lake, UT.
Last game results
Golden State Warriors (3-13): 94-142 loss to the Dallas Mavericks (Wednesday, 20 November 2019)
Utah Jazz (9-5): 103-95 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves (Wednesday, 20 November 2019)
Golden State Warriors Preview
The 2019-20 season might be the best thing for the future of the Golden State Warriors. General manager Bob Myers is likely to be selecting a top 10 draft pick at the 2020 NBA Draft. With Eric Paschall, a healthy Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, 2020-21 may be a stellar year for Golden State.
At the moment though, the team are expected to continue suffering, as they did Wednesday night in Dallas. The Warriors were outscored 74 -38 in the first half and shot 38.9 percent for the game and under 30 percent from three-point range.
Key Player – Eric Paschall
Eric Paschall is the beneficiary of all the injuries plaguing the Golden State Warriors. Drafted 41st overall in the 2019 NBA draft, Paschall has been playing well for the Warriors; in 15 games, he is averaging 31.3 minutes and 17.1 points a game as a rookie.
Even in the blowout loss to the Mavericks, Paschall was a reliable scorer for the Warriors as he racked up 22 points.
Warriors predicted lineup
Glen Robinson III, Alec Burks, Eric Paschall, Omari Spellman, Willie Cauley-Stein
Utah Jazz Preview
14 games into the 2019-20 season, the Utah Jazz are a respectable 9-5. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games and 6-1 at home.
Utah knocked off the Minnesota Timberwolves Wednesday night 103-95. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 30 points for the Jazz and Donovan Mitchell scored 26 to ensure the win.
The Jazz took care of the ball, committing only 11 turnovers, and shot a solid 42 percent from three-point range.
Key Player – Bojan Bogdanovic
Bojan Bogdanovic has been splendid for the Utah Jazz. He has provided the Jazz with a second 20-plus point scorer with an average of 20.5 points, behind only Donovan Mitchell’s 24.9 points a game.
Since Utah only average 104 points a game, Bogdanovic’s scoring eases the pressure on Mitchell and Rudy Gobert offensively. Bogdanovic is also shooting 45.5 percent from beyond the three-point arc, allowing the Jazz to space the floor and create more room for Mitchell to attack the basket or Gobert to work in the post.
Jazz predicted lineup
Mike Conley Jr., Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic, Rudy Gobert, Royce O’Neale
Warriors vs Jazz Match Prediction
The misery does not end for the Warriors as Draymond Green is the latest regular to be held out of the lineup for injury reasons. The Warriors are 2-8 in their last 10 games and just 2-7 when playing on the road.
They are averaging 108 points a game, but with the latest injuries to D’Angelo Russell and Draymond Green, it's expected that that number will drop - as evidenced by the blowout loss to Dallas Wednesday, when the Warriors managed just 94 points.
The Utah Jazz are not an explosive offensive team, averaging just 104 points a game. But the Warriors are decimated by injuries and will struggle to keep pace, making the Jazz's job easier.
The Jazz value each possession every game, as they have committed just 53 turnovers in the last five. They are 6-1 at home this season and should win their seventh against the Warriors Friday night.
Where to watch Warriors vs Jazz?

Andy, Corey and Kurt look at the hiring of Dale Sveum (and his tattoos) and predict where the organization will be at the end of his 3-4 year contract. We predict some of the difficulties that Sveum will face with this team in the state that it is currently in. Rudy Jaramillo will be returning to the Cubs and we wonder what his effect was on the team in 2011.
Matt Garza is reportedly on the trading block and we consider what effect this could have on the pitching staff. Epstein and Hoyer are in the Dominican Republic to check out the Cuban defector, Yoennis Cespedes. Carlos Zambrano takes a baseball to the face and our reporter in Venezuela remains silent.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Stir-up Sunday!

QuickAuth Authentication Library
QuickAuth is an extremely flexible and easy to use authentication library for Codeigniter
Features:
- Login
- Logout
- Logged In
- Register
- Restrict
- Retrieve Lost Password
Initializing The Library
Within a text string, highlight variables using <var></var> tags, and highlight code using the <dfn></dfn> tags.
Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the FTP class is initialized in your controller using the $this->load->library('quickauth') function:
$this->load->library('quickauth');
Once loaded Quickauth functions will be available using: $this->quickauth
Usage Examples
In this example the library checks if the user is logged in and returns a boolean.
$this->load->library('quickauth'); if ($this->quickauth->logged_in() === TRUE) { // Show the Username of the logged in user. echo $this->session->userdata('username'); }
Login
$this->quickauth->login()
The Login function accepts 3 arguements which correspond to the username and password from a submitted form and a target location to redirect too.
$this->quickauth->login('$username, $password, $redirect = NULL')
Logout
$this->quickauth->logout()
Logs the user out by destroying all session variables.
$this->quickauth->logout()
Logged In
$this->quickauth->logged_in()
Checks if the user is logged in and then returns a Boolean result (TRUE/FALSE) to indicate whether the user is logged in or not.
$this->quickauth->logged_in()
Register
$this->quickauth->register()
The Register function accepts 3 variables for username, password and email from a form that has been submitted to the controller.
$this->quickauth->register('$username, $password, $email')
Restrict
$this->quickauth->restrict()
Used for restricting users access to certain controllers and functions. The variable passed should be the Group ID of the group you wish to have access to the page. That group and above will then be able to access the page. Other users will see You do not have sufficient privileges to access this page.
$this->quickauth->restrict('$group_id')
Retrieve Password
$this->quickauth->retrieve_password()
This function will email a user a newly generated nine character alpha numeric password. The submitted variable should be a username or email submitted from a form.
$this->quickauth->retrieve_password('$data')
Activate User
$this->quickauth->activate_user()
This function will activate the account tied to the Username that is passed to it. It will return true if successful or 0 if there was a problem.
$this->quickauth->activate_user('$data')

Game
问题描述 :
1. (a, b) should be a valid pair.
2.
Furthermore, such a replacement will be legal for Xay only if a*y – b*x < 0, legal for Amr only if a*y – b*x > 0.For example, Xay can change (2, 5) to (1,3), (1,4), (-1,2), (0,1), (-1,1), etc. And Amr can similarly change (2, 5) to (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (1, 1), etc.
They will play on these pairs alternately. The last one who be able to move is the winner .We have already knew that both Amr and Xay are very clever and they will play this game perfectly. Now, my dear programmers, can you predict that who will be the winner?

The Spot Game
| The Spot Game |
The game of Spot is played on an NxN board as shown below for N = 4. During the game, alternate players may either place a black counter (spot) in an empty square or remove one from the board, thus producing a variety
of patterns. If a board pattern (or its rotation by 90 degrees or 180 degrees) is repeated during a game, the player producing that pattern loses and the other player wins. The game terminates in a draw after 2N moves if no duplicate pattern is produced before
then.
Consider the following patterns:
If the first pattern had been produced earlier, then any of the following three patterns (plus one other not shown) would terminate the game, whereas the last one would not.
Input and Output
Input will consist of a series of games, each consisting of the size of the board, N (2 N 50)
followed, on separate lines, by 2N moves, whether they are all necessary or not. Each move will consist of the coordinates of a square (integers in the range 1..N) followed by a blank and a character `+’ or `-’ indicating the addition or removal of a spot
respectively. You may assume that all moves are legal, that is there will never be an attempt to place a spot on an occupied square, nor to remove a non-existent spot. Input will be terminated by a zero (0).
Output will consist of one line for each game indicating which player won and on which move, or that the game ended in a draw.
Sample input
2 1 1 + 2 2 + 2 2 - 1 2 + 2 1 1 + 2 2 + 1 2 + 2 2 - 0
Sample output
Player 2 wins on move 3 Draw
题意：放石头游戏(The game of Spot)在一块NxN的板子上进行，如下图为N=4的板子。游戏的玩法是两个玩家轮流放一块石头在空的格子上，或是可以从板子上拿一块石头起来，游戏的进行中可以发现，板子上石头的布局会不断变化，当一玩家排出已重复出现过的布局时，他就算输了这一局(一种布局如果将之旋转90度、180度、270度亦视为相同的布局)。若在2N步内未出现过相同的布局就算和局。
一开始就看错了题目，以为棋盘是4*4的，没看到n*n，wa了无数次，其中哈希函数也写错了。。一道简单的哈希题花了很久的时间。
#include<iostream> #include<cstring> #include<set> using namespace std; char grid[55][55]; set<string> vis; int n; int try_to_insert() { string str=""; int i,j; for(i=0;i<n;i++) { for(j=0;j<n;j++) { str=str+grid[i][j]; } } if(vis.count(str)) return 0; vis.insert(str); str=""; for(i=n-1;i>=0;i--) { for(j=0;j<n;j++) { str=str+grid[i][j]; } } if(!vis.count(str)) vis.insert(str); str=""; for(i=n-1;i>=0;i--) { for(j=n-1;j>=0;j--) { str=str+grid[i][j]; } } if(!vis.count(str)) vis.insert(str); str=""; for(i=0;i<n;i++) { for(j=n-1;j>=0;j--) { str=str+grid[i][j]; } } if(!vis.count(str)) vis.insert(str); return 1; } int main() { while(cin>>n&&n) { int flag=1,winner,num; int i,x,y; char ch; vis.clear(); memset(grid,'0',sizeof(grid)); for(i=0;i<2*n;i++) { cin>>x>>y>>ch; if(flag==0) continue; if(ch=='+') grid[x-1][y-1]='1'; else if(ch=='-') grid[x-1][y-1]='0'; if(try_to_insert()==0) { flag=0; num=i+1; if(i%2==0) winner=2; else winner=1; cout<<"Player "<<winner<<" wins on move "<<num<<endl; } } if(flag) cout<<"Draw"<<endl; } return 0; }
解题参考：http://blog.csdn.net/zju_ziqin/article/details/18970247
没错的，再乘以m的就多余了
整理的很好，多谢
对，还是这种实现比较好理解。虽然效率有点低
这个应该是比较简单的解法了，如果有更好的办法可以告诉我
aha, welcome!
跟书上的解法不一样，不知道哪个效率要高些
这配图…..
第一句可以忽略不计了吧。从第二句开始分析，说明这个花色下的所有牌都会在其它里面出现，那么还剩下♠和♦。第三句，可以排除2和7，因为在两种花色里有。现在是第四句，因为♠还剩下多个，只有是♦B才能知道答案。
这种题解就相当于直接贴代码了，，想看的是思路
不错


jQuery Mobile has a very basic navbar widget that is useful for providing up to 5 buttons with optional icons in a bar, typically within a header or footer. There is also a persistent navbar variation that works more like a tab bar that stays fixed as you navigate across pages.
A navbar is coded as an unordered list of links wrapped in a container element that has the data-role="navbar"
attribute. To set one of the links to the active (selected) state, add class="ui-btn-active"
to the anchor. In this example, we have a two-button navbar in the footer with the "One" item set to active:

One

Two

The navbar items are set to divide the space evenly so in this case, each button is 1/2 the width of the browser window:
Adding a third item will automatically make each button 1/3 the width of the browser window:
Adding a fourth more item will automatically make each button 1/4 the width of the browser window:
The navbar maxes out with 5 items, each 1/5 the width of the browser window:
If more than 5 items are added, the navbar will simply wrap to multiple lines:
Navbars with 1 item will simply render as 100%.
If you want to add a navbar to the top of the page, you can still have a page title and buttons. Just add the navbar container inside the header block, right after the title and buttons in the source order.
If you want to add a navbar to the bottom of the page so it acts more like a tab bar, simply wrap the navbar in a container with a data-role="footer"

One

Two

Three

Icons can be added to navbar items by adding the data-icon
attribute specifying a standard mobile icon to each anchor. By default, icons are added above the text (data-iconpos="top"
). The following examples add icons to a navbar in a footer.
The icon position is set on the navbar container instead of for individual links within for visual consistency. For example, to place the icons below the labels, add the data-iconpos="bottom"
attribute to the navbar container.

This will result in a bottom icon alignment:
The icon position can be set to data-iconpos="left"
:
Or the icon position can be set to data-iconpos="right"
:
You can add any of the popular icon libraries like Glyphish to achieve the iOS style tab that has large icons stacked on top of text labels. All that is required is a bit of custom styles to link to the icons and position them in the navbar. Here is an example using Glyphish icons and custom styles (view page source for styles) in our navbar:

Navbars inherit the theme swatch from their parent container, just like buttons. If a navbar is placed in the header or footer toolbar, it will inherit the default toolbar swatch (A) for bars unless you set this in the markup.
Here are a few examples of navbars in various container swatches that automatically inherit their parent's swatch letter. Note that in these examples, instead of using a data-theme
attribute, we're manually adding the swatch classes to apply the body swatch (ui-body-a
) and the class to add the standard body padding (ui-body), but the inheritance works the same way:
To set the theme color for a navbar item, add the data-theme
attribute to the individual links and specify a theme swatch. Note that applying a theme swatch to the navbar container is not supported.


Data Types in Pyrlang¶
Decoding¶
| Erlang | Python | Notes |
| atom() | Pyrlang.Atom | Can use str() or access text_ directly |
| float() | float | 64-bit double precision floating point |
| integer() | int | Any size integers |
| list() | list | |
| improper_list() | (list, _Tail) | A tuple with list and the tail element |
| unicode string() | list(int) | Use helper functions in list to convert to string |
| byte string() | bytes | |
| tuple() | tuple | |
| map() | dict | |
| binary() | bytes | |
| bitstring() | (bytes, int) | A tuple of bytes and last_byte_bits:int defining incomplete last byte |
| pid() | Pyrlang.Pid | |
| reference() | Pyrlang.Reference | |
| fun() | Pyrlang.Fun | Not useful in Python |
Encoding¶
| Python | Erlang | Notes |
| Pyrlang.Atom | atom() | |
| float | float() | |
| int | integer() | |
| list | list() | |
| Pyrlang.ImproperList | improper_list() | |
| list(int) | string() | |
| bytes | binary() | |
| tuple | tuple() | |
| dict | map() | |
| Pyrlang.Bitstring | bitstring() | A binary with last byte incomplete |
| Pyrlang.Pid | pid() | |
| Pyrlang.Reference | reference() | |
| Pyrlang.Fun | fun() | Not useful in Python |
| other objects | #{'ClassName', #{}} | Encoding may fail on some types |
Lists¶
Erlang lists can be of 2 kinds:
- Regular lists of anything:
- Unicode strings, which are regular lists of integers in unicode range.
- 8-bit strings, sometimes called latin-1 or ASCII, which are regular lists of bytes.
- Improper lists (those with last cell's tail being not
[] NIL
).
Pyrlang always decodes incoming regular lists as Python lists,
use helper functions in list
to extract strings.
If incoming string contained only bytes (integers between 0 and 255) then
Erlang node will optimize the encoding and send a byte array. In this case you
will receive Python bytes
string, and not a list, which is
the same as if you have sent a binary, so to reduce confusion always send
strings as UTF8 binaries.
A regular Erlang list always has an invisible []
(NIL
) set as tail of
its last cons cell. Regular lists map directly to Python lists and
there is no easy way to tell a list of integers from a string other than
check elements ranges and assume that is a printable string. Unless you received
Python bytes
then it's easy.
An improper Erlang list has some other value than [] NIL
as the tail of
its last cell.
Pyrlang returns these as Python tuple (list, tail)
.
To tell Pyrlang encoder to send an improper list back to Erlang, use the
ImproperList
class.

Some shows go well from the start, some show just have everything going wrong. This one, sadly, was the latter case.
From people falling ill to being posted abroad, everything that could go wrong seemed to do so in this production. Yet, in the end, it was a damned fine production of a marvellous, though flawed, show. I had a great time, really enjoyed being in the show and the company. I was so busy in Act One that I even had my own dresser - posh or what?!

Tomas Berdych announces retirement from tennis
London - Tomas Berdych confirmed on Saturday at the ATP Finals in London that he was retiring 17 years after turning professional.
The Czech world number 103 won 13 titles, reaching a career-high of fourth in the rankings in 2015.
Berdych, 34, was a top-10 player from July 2010 until October 2016 but has struggled with a back injury over the past two seasons.
He never won a Grand Slam title, coming closest at Wimbledon in 2010, where he beat Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic before losing to Rafael Nadal in the final.
Together with Radek Stepanek, he led the Czech Republic to Davis Cup wins in 2012 and 2013.
Berdych said he had decided to stop playing soon after this year's US Open.
He said the highlight of his career was reaching the Wimbledon final.
"I was in the finals in Wimbledon in 2010 beating Djokovic, Federer, before losing to Nadal," he said. "I won a Masters in Bercy (Paris). And two Davis Cups.
"Maybe strange, but I would say the Wimbledon. Not the win -- not the victory at the end, but for me, still, like, very, very special moment. Even the final that I lost, it was very, very special moment."


Virtual Doctor
What is a virtual doctor?
Visiting a doctor in a surgery with receptionists and a waiting room could all be a thing of the past. The developments in technology over the past couple of decades have brought video cameras, apps and connectivity to our phones; combine this with the world of medicine, and we’ve got virtual doctors. Virtual doctors use technology to deliver care, support and treatment to patients no matter where they are, usually via phone or video call. Many Virtual Doctor services can also connect with physical or digitally enabled health monitors, like a Fitbit, heart rate monitor or home blood pressure reader, which can help the doctor to make a real-time assessment. This technology is helping virtual doctors all around the world to give accurate diagnoses and care – without needing to be in the same room, or even country, as the patient.
How it works
Virtual doctor services usually work through smartphones, tablets or computers. Once you’ve set up an account, you can simply sign in whenever you need a doctor. We work with Advance Medical to give our customers access to virtual doctors. As an AXA – Global Healthcare customer, you can book an appointment with a qualified and experienced doctor at a time, and in a place that suits you. Once you’ve downloaded the app and registered to use it, you can book phone or video call appointments. You’ll be asked for some brief information about your symptoms and the reason for your call, and be able choose which language you’d like to speak to a doctor in**. You’ll also be asked for your location – this is so the doctor can give you advice appropriate to the country and services available where you are. Once you’ve had your consultation, the doctor could refer you to a specialist, write you a prescription, or advise you to go the emergency facility. They can also explain how your local healthcare system works, if you have any questions about how to access the care you need. Or, you might find that speaking to a doctor and getting some expert reassurance is all you needed
Service
The Key Features of our Job
Who are the Virtual Doctors? We are a UK-based charity with a Zambian operation. We use a Smartphone App to connect isolated health centres in rural Zambia and Malawi with volunteer doctors, based predominantly in the UK. The volunteer doctors offer advice to diagnose conditions, treat patients and prescribe medicine. This assists and empowers the local health workers, and even helps saves lives. The App also reduces the number of hospital referrals that would incur long, arduous journeys and unmanageable expense. Become a volunteer doctor Our aim To help improve the local primary healthcare in some of the most remote and impoverished areas of sub-Saharan Africa. We believe this model could be adopted across Africa, making a significant impact on healthcare throughout the region and beyond. The Model Our highly accessible and user-friendly software, in the form of an App loaded onto a Smartphone, links workers in rural clinics to volunteer doctors. We provide training from the outset as well as sustained medical and technical support, education and feedback. Our impact We have equipped healthcare workers in more than 200 health facilities with the App-loaded Smartphones. More are being set up in a rolling expansion programme funded entirely through the generosity of our supporters. We have also equipped a further 5 rural Health Centres in Malawi. These facilities serve as many as 2.5 million people with no direct access to a qualified doctor. Survey results, as of November 2019, show that using the Virtual Doctors service: Improved a patient’s symptoms in 92% of cases Prevented the need for a hospital referral in 78% of cases Provided an educational benefit in 97% of cases (Figures correct as of Nov 2019) Our plans In Zambia, we are in the process of embedding the Virtual Doctors service into the Zambian Health Care system. Then we will scale back our support, leaving the local authorities to take over the service. This strategy will initially involve expansion to 200 clinics & hospitals by the end of 2020 and will ultimately involve transferring medical records to a Zambian secure data bank and incorporating the service within Ministry training. In Malawi, we have recently completed a trial of our service at the Invitation of the Ministry of Health. The outcomes and impact of this are currently being evaluated and if more resourcing is found and formalities concluded, we will be in a position to roll this out more widely. Our Status In Zambia we have the appropriate operating Memorandum of Understanding/s and these have been agreed with their respective Ministries of Health. The Virtual Doctors governance is overseen by an active Board of Trustees in the UK. In Zambia we have in-country setting as a charitable company with local Directors/Office Bearers and three local staff members. Our Resourcing 100% of our funding currently comes via the generosity of he general public. Lack of funding can prove a barrier to working so we are continually seeking new support. We currently have a very small team, comprising one full time Executive, a part time assistant in the UK. From December 19 we employed the services of an external fundraising consultant to focus on sourcing income through Trusts and Foundations. Much of our core operation is supported by volunteers.

Nos.10628/2009, 11179/2008, 11191/2008 M/S FELEX ENTERPRISES PRIVATE LTD. ...... PLAINTIFF Through : Mr. Krishnan Venugopal, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Anshu Mahajan and Mr. Vikas Aggarwal, Advocates Vs. MR. V.SREENIVAS & ANOTHER ....... DEFENDANTS Through : Mr. V.Shekhar, Sr. Advocate with Ms. Deepakshi Jain, Advocate for Defendant No.1. None for defendant No.2. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.RAVINDRA BHAT 1. Whether the Reporters of Local papers Yes May be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to Reporter or not? Yes 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Yes HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.RAVINDRA BHAT % 1. In this summary suit, under Order XXXVII, Code of Civil Procedure (hereafter, Order 37 and "the CPC", respectively), the plaintiff seeks a decree for the sum of Rs. 42,46,575/- with interest @ 18% per annum. 2. According to the suit averments, the plaintiff engages itself in various mining activities. The plaintiff contends that sometime in March, 2006, the first defendant approached it, suggesting that the second defendant had entered into an agreement with him, on 23-9-2004, to transfer 200 acres of mining areas in Hausadurga Taluk, Chitradurga District, Karnataka (hereafter "the mining area"). The first defendant, states the plaintiff, met with its officials in New Delhi, and further stated that the second defendant held a mining CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 1 lease No. 1667/2260 for a total area of 600 acres, of which 200 acres were free; but were rich in manganese ore deposits and that the area was free from disputes. It is claimed that consequently, the plaintiff entered into a written agreement with the first defendant, based on the latter's representation, on 26-5-2006. The second defendant confirmed the transaction. In terms of the agreement, the first defendant was to facilitate the transfer of the lease, and also do certain work to aid the plaintiff, in lieu of which, consideration was payable to him. According to the plaintiff, an important consideration for its entering into the transaction was the first defendant's assurance. 3. The plaintiff contends that when it entered into the agreement with the first defendant, it was not informed about any existing or pending dispute with any third party, or between a third party and the second defendant. In terms of the agreement, the plaintiff paid Rs. 31,00,000/- (Rupees thirty one lakhs) to the first defendant, and Rs. 85,00,000/- (Rupees eighty five lakhs) to the second defendant. It is submitted that after entering into the agreement, in May, 2006, the plaintiff's representative visited the site, and discovered that a civil suit, No. 175/2005, titled ―Laxmi Cements and Ceramics -vs- Shri Parthasarathi‖ was pending adjudication, and concerned a boundary dispute in relation to the 200 acres that were the subject matter of the agreement dated 26-5-2006. It is contended that in the suit, the second defendant's right and title was contested by Shri Parthasarathi. It is alleged that these facts were not revealed to the plaintiff, at the stage of contract formation, in May, 2006. According to the plaintiff, this amounted to fraudulent misrepresentation; one of the bases of the contract was the absence of any dispute, in relation to the said 200 acres. The plaintiff contends that the defendants obtained money from it under false pretences, as they were aware of the pending litigation, in relation to land. 4. The plaintiff says that the defendant No. 1 was called upon to explain the fraud, as a result of which he visited its (the plaintiff's) office, in Delhi, and, in order to discharge his liability, issued two Cheques, drawn on a branch of the State Bank of Mysore, Shankarapuram Branch, Bangalore. It is claimed that one Cheque (235105), dated 16-10- 2006, was for Rs. 21 lakhs, and the other, for Rs. 10 lakh, was No. 235108; it was dated 11- 12-2006. The plaintiff claims having presented the cheques to its banker, the Bank of Rajasthan, Janpath Branch in New Delhi, which when sent for collection, were not honoured. It is submitted that the plaintiff has filed criminal complaint proceedings in respect of the two dishonoured cheques, in Delhi. It is submitted that the second defendant too, had issued a cheque for Rs. 85,00,000/- to settle the plaintiff's claims, which too was not honoured. The CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 2 plaintiff filed criminal proceedings against that defendant too; however, after receiving summons in the said proceeding, the second defendant satisfied the plaintiff by issuing a fresh cheque. The plaintiff claims relief against the first defendant, in terms of these averments. 5. The defendant, entered appearance after service of summons. The plaintiff filed an application for issuance of summons for judgment, under Order 37, Rule 3(4), being IA 11191/2008. The defendant's counsel was given a copy of that application. However, formal summons were not issued by the court, on the plaintiff's application. In the meanwhile, the defendant moved an application (IA 11179/2008) under Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, (hereafter "the Arbitration Act") contending that the suit was not maintainable, as the plaintiff was bound by an agreement, contained in the Agreement, dated 25-5-2006. The plaintiff denied the application. In these circumstances, when the application was being heard, it was noticed by the court that the defendant had not been formally issued with summons for judgment. Accordingly, the first defendant's counsel, and the plaintiff's counsel agreed that notice on the said application for issuance for judgment would be deemed to have been issued on the day of hearing before the court, i.e 7th August, 2007. The first defendant, in these circumstances, moved an application for leave to defend, (IA 10628/2009) under Order 37, Rule 3(5); notice was issued to the plaintiff. All these applications were listed, and heard together. 6. In IA 11179/2008, it is contended by the defendant that the plaintiff cannot maintain the suit, since the contract, or agreement, dated 26-5-2006, contains an arbitration clause. The first defendant applicant contends that the parties had entered into the agreement, and pursuant to it, he had discharged his obligations. He claims having obtained the environmental clearance certificate, in terms of the agreement, but thereafter coming to know that some boundary dispute existed with a third party, that was subject matter of court proceeding. This, says the applicant, led to a demand by the plaintiff that he should return the amounts, which he did by issuing cheques. The applicant alludes to a new understanding or agreement having been arrived at between the parties, whereby the defendants were asked to settle the boundary disputes within 30 days. The applicant submits having asked the plaintiff not to present the two cheques, till the matter was settled, on 13-10-2006; he later asked his banker not to clear the cheques because the purpose for which they were issued, had not materialized. It is contended that the disputes pertain to, or are connected with the primary agreement between the parties, embodied in the agreement dated 26th May, 2006, which CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 3 contains an arbitration clause. The applicant submits that in these circumstances, the suit is not maintainable. 7. In the leave to defend application, the defendant reiterates the allegations contained in the application under Section 8 (IA 11179/08); he, besides argues that this court does not have territorial jurisdiction to entertain and try the suit, since all material events occurred in Bangalore; the cheque was drawn on a bank in Bangalore, the agreement was arrived at in Bangalore, and the subject matter of the dispute, ie. control of mines, is also outside jurisdiction of the court. The defendant also submits that he is entitled to other amounts, on account his facilitating the lease and importantly, obtaining several government clearances. He refers to an amount of Rs. 48 lakh, as due and payable, at the time of transfer of the lease, and a further sum of Rs. 1.55 crore, being payable, due to environmental clearance being obtained by him. It is submitted that the defendant had issued the two cheques, ―to put an end to the contractual relationship under the tripartite agreement dated 26-5-2006...‖ and not in discharge of any debt or liability. It is said that the plaintiff also has to pay Rs. 1.55 crore towards its liability, under the contract. In these circumstances, it is submitted that the present dispute is subject to an arbitration clause. The defendant also relies on the same arbitration clause, and submits that this court lacks territorial jurisdiction to entertain and try the suit. 8. Besides reiterating the submissions made in the two application, learned senior counsel for the defendant applicant also urged that they are without prejudice to the contention that this court does not have territorial jurisdiction to try the suit, and existence of arbitration clause, sufficient cause to grant leave has been shown, as there are some real and substantial triable issues. It is contended, in this context, that the defendant had written to the plaintiff, that environmental clearance had been obtained on 12-6-2006; considerable reliance was placed on the minutes of meeting dated 1-9-2009, to say that even though cheques for the amounts claimed in the suit, were issued, the original understanding stood superseded or modified, and that the parities agreed that the boundary disputes would be settled. According to the applicant defendant, further amounts were payable to him, by the plaintiff, in terms of the original agreement, for the services rendered. 9. The plaintiff, in its reply to I.A. No. 11179/2008 relies upon the averments made by the defendant and contends that the agreement dated 26.05.2006 ceased to be enforceable and consequently there is no binding arbitration clause. It is stated that the defendant/applicant has admitted his liability through a letter dated 01.09.2006 whereby it agreed that disputes CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 4 existed between the second defendant and the third party and, therefore, he further agreed to repay Rs.31 lakhs received earlier, with the objective of closing the entire transaction. The plaintiff contends that the applicant defendant has suppressed the material fact whereby according to it, the disputes have arisen inter se in relation to the agreement dated 23.09.2004. Reliance is placed upon a letter and a proceeding, i.e. Arbitration Application No. 332/2008 filed before the City Civil Judge, Bangalore, where the defendant submitted that all disputes are covered by an arbitration clause, existing in a supplementary agreement dated 15.04.2005 (between the two defendants), be referred to arbitration. 10. It is submitted that the agreement dated 23.09.2004 and 15.04.2005 has no correlation with the plaintiff; the latter entered into an agreement at the asking of the first defendant on 26.05.2006. Learned counsel emphasized that according to the representations in this agreement and the clear understanding of parties, there were no disputes in relation to the leased area. Subsequently, when it was discovered that such disputes existed, all parties agreed to end the arrangement and, therefore, the plaintiff received the two cheques. The plaintiff also points out to the terms of the minutes of meeting dated 01.09.2006, which it is submitted, unambiguously states that the cheques in question had to be en-cashed. 11. So far as concerns merits of the defendant's application, seeking leave to defend (I.A. No. 10628/2009), it is submitted that the first defendant had clearly agreed that cheques were issued to put an end to the contractual agreement. The plaintiff denies that its liability to pay any amount, for Rs. 1.55 crores or that it has any contractual obligation to do so. It is contended that the defence sought to be urged does not disclose any triable issue and that in view of the clear admission, by virtue of letter dated 01.09.1999 as well as minutes of meeting, there is no defence and that what is pleaded is "moonshine". 12. On the question of jurisdiction, learned counsel for the plaintiff relied upon a judgment reported as K.S. Wahi v. Ganga Exports 90 (2001) DLT 386 as well as Startech Engcon Private Limited v. Bundelkhand University 2008 (147) DLT 276, and submitted that according to the suit averments, particularly Para 11, the cheques were received in Delhi and were presented by the plaintiff with its banker in Delhi. It is also submitted that the advice about the dis-honour of the cheque was received by the plaintiff in Delhi. In the circumstances, so far as the plaintiff is concerned, part of the cause of action having arisen in Delhi, the suit is maintainable. CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 5 13. From the above discussion, this Court discerns three questions, which have to be addressed:- (1) Whether the suit is not maintainable by reason of a subsisting arbitration clause; (2) Whether this Court lacks territorial jurisdiction to entertain and try the suit; (3) Whether the defendant, in its application has revealed triable issues entitling him to the grant of leave under Order 37 Rule 3(5) CPC. 14. The narrative would reveal that certain essential facts are not disputed. They are: (a) The plaintiff entered into an agreement with the first defendant on 26.05.2006 in respect of 200 acres of land, in District Chitradurga, Karnataka. (b) Defendant No.2 at that stage was the original lessee in respect of the land as well as another 400 acres; it held a mining lease. The said defendant has also signed and confirmed the transaction. (c) The role of the first defendant was as a "facilitator", he was entitled to certain payments, including the sum of Rs.31 lakhs. (d) The Defendant Nos. 1 and 2 had entered into an agreement previously on 23.09.2004, in respect of the land - as a result, the second defendant was made a party to the agreement dated 26.05.2006, with the plaintiff. (e) The agreement ( dated 26th May, 2006) recorded that the second defendant (described as "Confirming party") represented: ―That they are the lessee of the leasehold area and are enjoying peaceful and exclusive possession and control over the leasehold area, having right, title and interest, which is free from any encumbrances, i.e. mortgages, attachments, ―injunctions‖, Gifts, Wills, exchanges etc.‖ (f) The plaintiff later learnt about the boundary dispute in relation to the leased area; the second defendant had filed a suit to restrain a third party, who had disputed its possession. As a result of the above, the parties entered into an arrangement whereby the Defendant No.1 CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 6 issued two cheques, for an aggregate amount of Rs.31 lakhs; the Defendant No.2 also issued a cheque for Rs.85 lakhs. 15. The two amounts for which cheques were issued, in September, 2006, constituted a consideration received pursuant to the agreement dated 26.05.2006 by the defendant. The defendant contends that this Court should reject this suit because of a subsisting and valid arbitration agreement. This submission is based on clause 12 of the agreement dated 26.05.2006, which reads as follows: ―In the event of any disputes in relation to or executed with the present agreement, the same shall be referred to arbitration of sole arbitrator to be appointed by second part and the arbitration proceedings shall be held at Bangalore and shall be subject to Bangalore High Court jurisdiction.‖ 16. Section 8 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (hereafter referred to as the "Act") is imperative; if a Court discerns or is informed during the course of pending proceedings about the existence of an arbitration agreement, by which the parties have to seek their remedies, they are to be relegated to it. There are few exceptions to this rule, however; if the suit or existing civil proceeding embraces causes of action or concerns third parties to the arbitration agreement, the Civil Court will not reject the claim (Sukanya Holdings-vs- Jayesh Pandya 2003 (5) SCC 531). Similarly, the Supreme Court, in its 7-judge Bench ruling in S.B.P. and Co. v. Patel Engineering Limited 2005 (8) SCC 618 ruled that the existence and binding nature of arbitration agreement put forward by a party to oust the jurisdiction of the Court is a valid subject matter for examination in the civil proceeding. Considering the consequence of a claim for discharge of contract, taken by one party resisting reference to arbitration, (though in the context of Section 11 of the Act), the Supreme Court, in a recent ruling in National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Boghara Polyfab (P) Ltd.,(2009) 1 SCC 267 stated as follows: ―Some illustrations (not exhaustive) as to when claims are arbitrable and when they are not, when discharge of contract by accord and satisfaction are disputed, to round up the discussion on this subject are: (i) A claim is referred to a conciliation or a pre-litigation Lok Adalat. The parties negotiate and arrive at a settlement. The terms of settlement are drawn up and signed by both the parties and attested by the conciliator or the members of the Lok Adalat. After settlement by way of accord and satisfaction, there can be no reference to arbitration. (ii) A claimant makes several claims. The admitted or undisputed claims are paid. Thereafter negotiations are held for settlement of the disputed claims resulting in an agreement in writing settling all the pending claims and disputes. On such settlement, the amount agreed is paid and the contractor also issues a discharge voucher/no- claim certificate/full and final receipt. After the contract is discharged by such accord CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 7 and satisfaction, neither the contract nor any dispute survives for consideration. There cannot be any reference of any dispute to arbitration thereafter. (iii) A contractor executes the work and claims payment of say rupees ten lakhs as due in terms of the contract. The employer admits the claim only for rupees six lakhs and informs the contractor either in writing or orally that unless the contractor gives a discharge voucher in the prescribed format acknowledging receipt of rupees six lakhs in full and final satisfaction of the contract, payment of the admitted amount will not be released. The contractor who is hard-pressed for funds and keen to get the admitted amount released, signs on the dotted line either in a printed form or otherwise, stating that the amount is received in full and final settlement. In such a case, the discharge is under economic duress on account of coercion employed by the employer. Obviously, the discharge voucher cannot be considered to be voluntary or as having resulted in discharge of the contract by accord and satisfaction. It will not be a bar to arbitration. (iv) An insured makes a claim for loss suffered. The claim is neither admitted nor rejected. But the insured is informed during discussions that unless the claimant gives a full and final voucher for a specified amount (far lesser than the amount claimed by the insured), the entire claim will be rejected. Being in financial difficulties, the claimant agrees to the demand and issues an undated discharge voucher in full and final settlement. Only a few days thereafter, the admitted amount mentioned in the voucher is paid. The accord and satisfaction in such a case is not voluntary but under duress, compulsion and coercion. The coercion is subtle, but very much real. The ―accord‖ is not by free consent. The arbitration agreement can thus be invoked to refer the disputes to arbitration. (v) A claimant makes a claim for a huge sum, by way of damages. The respondent
disputes the claim. The claimant who is keen to have a settlement and avoid litigation, voluntarily reduces the claim and requests or settlement. The respondent agrees and settles the claim and obtains a full and final discharge voucher. Here even if the claimant might have agreed for settlement due to financial compulsions and commercial pressure or economic duress, the decision was his free choice. There was no threat, coercion or compulsion by the respondent. Therefore, the accord and satisfaction is binding and valid and there cannot be any subsequent claim or reference to arbitration.‖
17. In the above case, the Supreme Court had examined the previous judgments, including P.K. Ramaiah & Co. v. National Thermal Power Corporation 1994 (Suppl) 3 SCC 126; Nathani Steels v. Associated Constructions 95 (Suppl) 3 SCC 324 and Narhati Jute Mills Private Limited v. Khayali Ram Jagan Nath AIR 1968 SC 522. It was held that once the parties settle their differences and put an end to their contractual obligations, the subsequent arrangement or contract, binds them contractually not to agitate the matter further unless the subsequent arrangement or settlement is shown to have been obtained under undue influence or demonstrably made under a mistake etc. These observations were made in the context of whether a contract, when discharged, is also deemed to have put an end to the arbitration clause. That such a proposition is both feasible, and has been established through the above decisions. What has to be seen is whether that is so, in this case.
CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 8
18. In this case, the defendant/applicant does not deny that the plaintiff came to know about the boundary dispute in relation to the leased land, which it was unaware of when the agreement dated 26.05.2006 was entered into. As a result, the plaintiff and the defendant reached an understanding, whereby the amounts paid by the former to the latter were refunded through cheques. The defendant, significantly, in the application under Section 8, states that ―it is further submitted that in the meanwhile there exists some boundary dispute in respect of the mining area, with their part and due to some misunderstanding, the plaintiff asked the defendant to refund the defendant's money to the plaintiff and original agreement and other related documents would be returned by the plaintiff to the defendant and thus, in order to question the contractual relation, the Defendant No.1 issued two cheques, for Rs. 21 lakhs and Rs.10 lakhs respectively, to the plaintiff at Bangalore. However, subsequently, on 01.09.2006, a new understanding was reached between the parties in the minutes of meeting dated 01.09.2006 whereby the defendants were asked to settle the boundary disputes of the mining lease areas within 30-45 days.‖
19. The understanding referred to by the defendant recorded in the minutes of meeting dated 01.09.2006, a copy of which is on the record; it reads as follows:
"PRESENT Sri Ramaswamy Sh. D.K. Srivastav Sri. V. Sreenivas Sh. Nirmal Tekriwal Sri. V. Prasad Sh. Sanjay Vishwakarma It has been agreed by M/s. Lakshmi Cement & Ceramics Ind: Limited, Mr. V. Sreeniwas & Mr. Tekriwal as under:-
1. Mr. Ramaswamy & Mr. Sreeniwas have agreed to settle the Bombay despite courts dispute with M/s. Sreeniwas Clays Ind: within 30-45 days and agreed to handover post dated cheque amounting to Rs.85 lakhs from Mr. Ramaswamy and Rs.21 lacs from Mr. V. Sreenivas after obtaining the letter from the agreement holder.
2. Mr. V. Sreeniwas after obtaining the letter from the agreement holder Mr. Tekariwal agreed to return all the original agreement papers after the encashment of the above cheques. And a separate agreement will be entered between Mr. Tekriwal, Agreement holder and Mr. V. Sreenivas for a balance of Rs.10 lacs due from Mr. V. Sreeniwas.‖
19. A joint reading of the averments and the documents extracted above would show that the defendant refers to a clear understanding whereby the plaintiff was to receive back the amounts on account of its discovering existence of a boundary dispute pertaining to the land;
CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 9 Para 1 of the minutes of meeting unequivocally stipulates the defendants' obligation to pay back the amounts through post-dated cheques. The latter part of these minutes also stipulate the return of the original agreement papers after encashment of cheques. What the Defendant No.1 is now seeking to project is that he wrote on 13.10.2006 and 22.11.2006, asking the plaintiff not to present the cheque till certain terms were sorted-out. He explains that in these circumstances, the "Stop Payment" advice was written to the bank on 29.11.2006, by him.
20. It is apparent that when the parties originally entered into an agreement on 26.05.2006; the plaintiff did not know about the existence of boundary disputes, in relation to the land. Once that fact came to light, it apparently asked the defendants to end the arrangement; consequently, the parties agreed on 01.09.2006 to close the chapter. The defendant says as much by urging that a new agreement had been recorded on 01.09.2006. He also issued two cheques in consideration of this understanding or agreement. The second defendant too issued a cheque for Rs.85 lakhs. The latter cheque was not honoured initially but after filing of criminal proceedings, the proceeds were paid to the plaintiff. All these facts unequivocally point to the plaintiff and the defendants consciously and mutually agreeing to end the transaction recorded by the agreement dated 26.05.2006. There was no other rationale or purpose for which the amounts were refunded. After all, the plaintiff originally wanted undisputed and exclusive possession; when it became aware of conditions to the contrary, the parties mutually agreed to terminate the agreement. This, in the Court's opinion constitutes a valid and binding discharge of the kind spoken of in National Insurance (supra). In the circumstances, it is not open to the defendant to fall back upon the terms of the original agreement and claim that there is an arbitration clause binding the parties to seek recourse to arbitration. The first point is accordingly ruled against the defendant.
21. As far as the issue of jurisdiction is concerned, the plaintiff has averred in the suit clearly to the cheques being presented by it with its banker in Delhi; the advice stating that the cheques were dishonoured, were also received by it in Delhi along with the instruments. This Court, in K.S. Wahi (supra) had dealt with an identical situation where the negotiable instruments were presented within the territorial jurisdiction of the Court and dishonoured, again in Delhi. In the circumstances, the Court held that jurisdiction subsisted; the view was endorsed and applied in Startech (supra). Therefore, it is held that a part of the cause of action arises within the jurisdiction of the Court. So far as the subsidiary argument that the parties had agreed that the disputes would be resolved in Bangalore, which would have exclusive jurisdiction, is concerned, it is found that once the Court holds - as it has done here CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 10
- that the basic agreement stood superseded or discharged, and the resultant arbitration clause did not bind them, the same clause cannot be used to oust the jurisdiction of the Court as the entire underlying transaction is deemed to have been discharged by mutual agreement of the parties. The second point is therefore, answered in favour of the plaintiff; this court has jurisdiction to entertain the present suit.
22. That brings the court to a consideration of the third and last issue, whether the defendant discloses a good or sufficient defence entitling him to leave, to defend these proceedings. The law as to what should be the approach of the court, while considering applications under Order 37, Rule 3(5) was stated by the Supreme Court, in Sunil Enterprises v. SBI Commercial & International Bank Ltd., (1998) 5 SCC 354:
―The position in law has been explained by this Court in Santosh Kumar v. Bhai Mool Singh, AIR 1958 SC 321; Milkhiram (India) (P) Ltd. v. Chamanlal Bros. AIR 1965 SC 1698; and Mechelec Engineers & Manufacturers v. Basic Equipment Corpn. AIR 1977 SC 577 The propositions laid down in these decisions may be summed up as follows:
(a) If the defendant satisfies the court that he has a good defence to the claim on merits, the defendant is entitled to unconditional leave to defend.
(b) If the defendant raises a triable issue indicating that he has a fair or bona fide or reasonable defence, although not a possibly good defence, the defendant is entitled to unconditional leave to defend.
(c) If the defendant discloses such facts as may be deemed sufficient to entitle him to defend, that is, if the affidavit discloses that at the trial he may be able to establish a defence to the plaintiff's claim, the court may impose conditions at the time of granting leave to defend -- the conditions being as to time of trial or mode of trial but not as to payment into court or furnishing security.
(d) If the defendant has no defence, or if the defence is sham or illusory or practically moonshine, the defendant is not entitled to leave to defend.
(e) If the defendant has no defence or the defence is illusory or sham or practically moonshine, the court may show mercy to the defendant by enabling him to try to prove a defence but at the same time protect the plaintiff imposing the condition that the amount claimed should be paid into court or otherwise secured.‖
23. Santosh Kumar, referred to by the Supreme Court, in the above extract, establishes that what is a sufficient defence, is an elusive concept, and much would depend on the facts of each case. It was also held that the court seized of the question should not arrive at its conclusions arbitrarily, but based on some rationale.
24. The first defendant's defence, apart from the arbitrability of the disputes, and the issue of jurisdiction, is that some amounts were to be received, in terms of an understanding with CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 11 the plaintiff; reference is made to a letter dated 12-6-2006. It is contended that pursuant to the understanding, recorded in the minutes dated 1-9-2009, the said defendant had made arrangements and ensured that environment clearance or certificate was issued. It is therefore, argued that if leave is granted, the defendant would be able to show that not only was he not liable for the sum, forming subject matter of the suit, but was entitled to a larger claim. It is argued, in this regard, that the minutes or memorandum of understanding dated 1-9-2006 merely intended to assure the plaintiff that the entire disputes would be settled, and not that the amounts paid through post dated cheques were in fact payable. It is emphasized that said defendant's claim subsists and constitutes a valid defence, entitling to grant of leave, under Order 37, Rule 3(5). The defendant also relies on two letters written by him to the plaintiff, and states that a sum of Rs. 1.55 is due and owing from the plaintiff. Refusal to grant leave would, it is stated, cause irreparable prejudice.
25. The defendant, as noted in an earlier part of the order, does not deny the minutes of meeting dated 1-9-2006; that clearly establishes that a sum of Rs. 31 lakhs was due and payable to the plaintiff; post dated cheques were issued for the purpose. If the original reason for the plaintiff entering into an agreement were to be kept in mind, the defendant's arguments seem tenuous. The latter agreement, or minutes were consciously drawn with the intention of ending the contractual relationship, for the precise reason that the plaintiff could not get what it wanted; there were some boundary disputes, in relation to the leased land. The defendant's contention is that some amounts were payable, in terms of the original agreement, dated 26th May, 2006, since he ensured that environment clearance certificate was obtained. The plaintiff, on the other hand, submits that these are untenable defences, having no force, which are "moonshine".
26. As noticed earlier, the defendant does not deny that the contractual arrangement, entered into with the plaintiff, ended on 1-9-2006. The defendant states as much, in his pleading, that the said minutes were drawn:
―to put an end to the contractual relationship under the tripartite agreement dated 26-5-2006...‖;
The minutes, besides expressly talk of the sum of Rs. 31 lakh payable by the defendant. That this was the amount received by him, under the agreement, is not in dispute. The defendant, however, places reliance on an order of the Karnataka Pollution Control Board, revoking previous directions not to permit mining, by the second defendant, under provisions of the CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 12 Air (Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, dated 12-6-2006; he also relies on a letter written by the plaintiff, committing itself to paying Rs. 1.55 crores to him, three months after receiving environment clearance certificate.
27. The first order dated 12-6-2006 clarifies that a ban had been made by the Board, against mining activities, for the period 2006-2007; that ban was lifted. In these circumstances, it is unclear whether the parties agreed that vacation of a ban was to entitle the defendant to any amounts; besides, the latter has not even indicated, any prima facie material suggesting the role played by him in this regard; the leasee was the second defendant; the order was to its benefit. No documents or material were disclosed, whereby the second defendant or the plaintiff, authorized the first defendant to represent them, or any of them, and secure such orders; the first defendant only alleges that he "obtained" the certificate. There is, more importantly, no indication in the letter dated 24-6-2006 by the plaintiff, that the certificate referred to, was the order dated 12-6-2006. The first defendant has also not disclosed anything to suggest that these were the same, or that he had ever claimed any amounts. The second important aspect is that the agreement, dated 26th May, 2006 to which the second defendant too, was a party, did not mention about any amount other than Rs. 21 lakh payable to the first defendant. The first defendant does not explain how the terms of parties' commitment could be changed, unilaterally through a letter dated 24-6-2006, referring to a future event, without adverting to the previous binding written agreement, keeping the leasee, in the dark. Thirdly, the court is of opinion that all obligations - whether express or implied - were premised on the plaintiff securing the land, and eventually the leasehold rights. In the circumstances, having consented to put an end to the agreement itself, and take back the original papers, the first defendant's claim for Rs. 1.55 crores appears misconceived, and untenable, to say the least. The last aspect here is that assuming that the first defendant had a claim, as he suggests, there is nothing in the minutes of meeting dated 1- 9-2006, to suggest that he preserved the right to claim it. The plaintiff had relied on a letter dated 1-9-2009, whereby the first defendant committed to repaying the amount of Rs. 31 lakhs, to end the transaction; that letter clearly suggests the said defendant's acknowledgement of his liability. The first defendant's counsel did not dispute the correctness of the letter. The said document also, constitutes but an additional, though not the main reason for rejecting the first defendant's plea, about some other amounts being payable to him, by the plaintiff.
CS(OS) No.1382/2008 Page 13
28. It was not pointed out during the hearing, that at any stage, the first defendant ever invoked the arbitration clause, relied on by him; he has not also filed any claim, for the sum set up, as payable, in terms of the understanding.
29. The court, in view of the above reasons, is of opinion that the first defendant's application for "leave to defend" does not make out any reasonable or bona fide defence; it does not also show that if the court grants him leave, he might be able to make out some case, to defend the plaintiff's claim. The first defendant's pleas are "sham" and "illusory" and may be accurately summed up as "moonshine." Therefore, the court denies leave to defend, to the applicant first defendant.
30. The plaintiff has claimed Rs. 42,46,575/- which includes Rs. 31,00,000/- with 18% interest. Presumably interest is claimed on the basis of the transaction being commercial; similar pendente lite and future interest is sought. While the court is of opinion that the claim for Rs. 31,00,000/- is justified, the claim for the balance amount, at 18% cannot be sustained. Accordingly, the plaintiff is held entitled to 15% interest on the said sum of Rs.31,00,000/- with effect from 1-1-2007.
31. In view of the above discussion, I.A. No. 11191/2008, and the suit have to be decreed in terms of para 30; I.A. No. 11179/2008 and I.A. No. 10628/2009 are liable to be rejected. Let a decree for the sum of Rs. 31,00,000/- with interest at 15% from 1-1-2007, and pendente lite, as well as future interest, at the same rate, be drawn. The plaintiff is also entitled to costs; Counsel's fee is quantified at Rs. 55,000/-.

While Mazatlan has a big industrial harbour, the marinas are located in an estuary to the north of the city. It is best to enter the channel leading to the marinas at high tide, and slack tide, as the currents can be very strong - up to 4 kts.
If coming here for fuel, the easiest fuel dock to access is El Cid, but beware of the currents.
Cruisers report Mazatlan to have a great sailing community.
What Lonely Planet say about Mazatlan:
Having outgrown its image as a chintzy mid-20th-century resort town, today’s Mazatlán is one of Mexico’s most alluring and inviting beach destinations. Over the past decade, the ‘Pearl of the Pacific’ has breathed new life into its historic center, and the ongoing renewal program continues to bear fruit. The result is something truly unique: a historic city with a resplendent colonial district only a short walk from a 20km-long crescent of sandy beach.
Yachts can anchor off and dinghies can be left at one of the yacht agencies on the shore. The Immigration and Port Captain offices are farther up the harbour, just past the cruise ship terminal.
The Port Captain charges an anchorage fee and may also insist on clearance being done through one of the marinas. Both the new marinas offer a port clearance service.
Boats on short stays can clear in and out at the same time.
Obtaining a Temporary Import Permit here, if this is your first Mexican port, is reported to be straightforward.
There are now two new marinas located 6 miles up the coast from Mazatlan. They are both in the channel leading to Laguna Sabalo. From here it's a 5 minute ride by local open-air taxi (called a Pulmonia
) into the old harbour at Mazatlan.
Club Nautico also has a marina just inside the commercial harbour. These three marinas monitor VHF Channel 16.
Marina El Cid is a popular location for sport fishermen as the local hotel and the marina both sponsor tournaments. It is too exposed to provide a hurricane hole.
Further inland, is Marina Mazatlan, which is home to many long-term sailboats. It provides a much greater degree of protection as does the Isla Mazatlan Golden resort.
Club Nautico is small, with few berths and offers no protection in a hurricane.
Fonatur is the newest marina/boatyard and has a few slips, travelift and dry storage facilities.

Note: the test utilities and utilities
for creating floating point
numbers
are in C
Macros:
define all core multibyte functions (1 to N byte size!) to make
building function easy; such as:
-Arithmetic, Logical, Shifts, Compares,
Load (Direct and Constant), Store, Bit Operations, Looping, Increment,
Decrement, Jumps
Macros are also used to invoke all function calls (for readability and
mainly to allow modification of calling methods on various PICs)
32bit math: 32bit integer
functions based on macro headers including Multiply, Divide,
Conversions to/from 8, 16, 24 and 32bit signed/unsigned values
I/O: 32bit BCD: convert up to
32bit
numbers to BCD and output results in ASCII, ATOI convert ASCII to 32bit
Floating point core:
Conversions (IEEE to/from 40bit temporary real) Load/Store ( to/from
IEEE or 40bit temporary real) Arithmetic, Increment, Decrement,
Conversions (to/from 8, 16, 24, 32bit
integers signed/unsigned)
Floating point functions: Poly,
Sqrt, Sin, Cos, Tan, Asin, Acos, Atan, Log, Exp, Pow, Test
(Zero/Nonzero), Split(Real,Integer), Floor, Ceil, LDEXP, FREXP, FMOD,
INVERT(1/X)
I started working on this project back
in 1990. I started with a macro library to make using the PIC easier to
use. I felt that having a generic base of multi-byte functions would
allow making math libraries mush easier to do. I had the floating point
core written in 1991. The project was revisited over the years to
include most of the common C floating point math functions. I had
planned to have the library as part of an interpreter with the higher
level functions and data kept in NVRAM. This has much to do with why
there is no banking code in this project (It would be easy to have this
code and a small interpreter fit inside of 2K code if many of the
functions were moved to NVRAM)
I believe that prior to this project
that PIC assembler support for floating point
functions, and good macro support in general, has been seriously
lacking.
Keep in mind the limited numeric resolution resulting from the number
formats themselves when doing computations! Take a small number, say delta, and add
another number that is larger in magnitude by 2**(bits of precision) -
the delta contribution is lost.. A good example of this problem occurs
when passing two angles near 90 degrees that differ by a small ammont -
if you are depending on measuring small changes in these angles your
results will have large unexpected errors - so take time to
understand this limit and rework your computations as required. No
amount of design given to a mathematical functions can compensate from
being badly used. (But please feel free to fix any bugs you may find in
my code 8-)
