The court found Tip Top Company culpable and awarded the sheikh Kes 11 million compensation. The court also ruled that in the event Tip Top fails to pay, then its property would be auctioned to get the money.

The long arm of the law

Babu Tale was presented in court on Tuesday, the case was however postponed because the registrar was not present in court. Meanwhile Tale remains in police custody.
