Court Rules In Rutland Rail Case The U.S. Court of Appeals today vacated an injunction obtained by the Rutland Railway Corp. which prevented the State of Vermont from appointing a receiver to operate the line. The three-judge panel remanded the case back to state courts. The state had appealed an order District Judge Ernest W.

Gibson who enjoined the state from operating the railroad through receivership after the case had been removed from the Rutland County Court of Chancery. Vermont claimed that the Federal Court had no power to remove the case from the state court. The Court of Appeals said simply, "we agree." The railway shut down its plant on Sept. 16, I960, when the employes went on strike. A month later, Vermont, alleging that continued interruption of the service would "wreak havoc with (the state's) economic, welfare, health and comfort," brought action in Chancery Court to appoint a receiver "un-j til such time as the railway resumes operation under the direction of its own officials." a i a immediately moved in Federal District Court where it was successful in obtaining a permanent injunction against any conduct in execution of the receivership.

The District Court stated that ceivership deprived the railway of property without due process of law. In an opinion written by Chief Judge J. Edward Lumbard with Judges Leonard P. More and Edwin Steel concurring, the Appeals Court held that "it is clear hat the District Court is without jurisdiction and should have remanded it back to the state opinion added: "Since the District Court had no jurisdiction, all proceedings taken in it were a nullity.
