SARINE SUES INDIAN MANUFACTURER FOR “UNDER-REPORTING”

Galatea Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Israel-based Sarine Technologies, is taking action against a diamond manufacturer in Surat for what it claims to be “deliberate under-reporting of rough stone weights and underpayment of amounts owed to Galatea for the scanning of the rough stones”.

 

According to a statement by Sarine, quoted by IDEX Online, the manufacturer used the company’s Galaxy system but then under-reported the weights of rough stones processed. This, Sarine claims, has resulted in “an underpayment of the amounts owed to Galatea for the use of the Galaxy system”. Galatea also claims that the manufacturer’s “under-reporting was done through the illegal manipulation of the Galaxy software”.

 

As a consequence, Galatea locked out the manufacturer from the use of its Galaxy system and confronted the manufacturer. According to Galatea, the manufacturer’s proprietor claimed “that a senior manager had been responsible for the software manipulation, which led to the fraud”. Galatea said it intends to take legal action against the manufacturer and its owners.
