HC directs CPI(M), DYFI to pay compensation (The Hindu, Feb 1, 2006)

Excerpt:

The Kerala High Court today directed the CPI(M) and its youth wing - Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) - to pay a compensation of Rs 10,500 to a man who suffered loss when his textile shop was damaged during a strike called by the organisation.

The direction was issued by a Division Bench, comprising Justice J B Koshy and Justice V Ramkumar, on a writ petition filed by the Merchants Association of Kodungalloor and C K Rajan, seeking compensation for the loss suffered by the latter.

The bench directed that the compensation should be paid within a month, failing which the petitioners could initiate appropriate proceedings including contempt of court.
