... ... ... ... ..... tained. 13. Coming now to the plea of learned Counsel that Respondent No. 1 has been appointed in August, 2005, in our opinion, is not of much significance. If he has been appointed pursuant to the order of the High Court, the same invariably would be subject to the result of this appeal. Respondent No. 1 did not have any legal right to be appointed even out of the said panel. His position was at Serial No. 4 and not even at Serial No. 1. Therefore, there were three persons in the panel above him. The High Court, therefore....... + More

The learned senior counsel Mr.S.R.Ashok relies on a judgment of Supreme Court in Commissioner of Income-tax v. Venkateswara Hatcheries (P) Ltd. (1999) 3 SCC 632 to canvass that the basic rule of interpretation was that the purport and object of the Act must be given its full effect and the entire Statute must be read as a whole and purpose construction should be given to the Legislation. There is no qua....... + More

It was a great shock to the family when they found the entire contents of their locker vanished. The assurance of the Bank that they will provide complete security becomes a myth when the Bank takes a consistent stand of finding fault with the consumer. 35. In the result, the complaint is allowed. We direct that the Opposite Parties No. 1, the Punjab and Sind Bank, shall....... + More

It is also to be seen that there are many disputed questions of fact, which this Court cannot delve under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Further it is not as though the petitioners are without any remedy, they have alternative remedy before the competent civil Court, which will be in a position to adjudicate based on the evidence both oral and documentary avail....... + More

... ... ... ... ..... er judgments noticed above, we cannot resist the conclusion that the instant petition lacks merit and is, thus, liable to be dismissed. We are further of the view that departmental proceedings cannot be permitted to wait endlessly till the conclusion of criminal trial, which may take its own time because it would not be in the interest of respondent department that a person like the petitioner, who is charged with serious misdemeanour should be continued in the disciplined force indefinitely which the criminal proceedings ....... + More

... ... ... ... ..... he amounts due under the instrument, he holds. Section 43 has, therefore, to be read in conjunction with Section 36 of the Act. The rights conferred to a holder in due course under Section 36 are not intended to be defeated on the ground that a prior transaction relating to the instrument was bad for want of consideration. The latter part of Section 43, thus, is to preserve intact the rights conferred on a holder in due course under the general provision contained in Section 36 of the Act. I am entirely in agreement with t....... + More

... ... ... ... ..... not put forward. On overall consideration of the matter, we find that there is absolutely no substance in the contention that the applicant would undergo any financial crisis by depositing the amount of ₹ 12 lakhs. 6. The applicant-assessee was required to pay ₹ 49,04,116/- by way of Service tax and penalty of like amount was also imposed. Therefore, the pre-deposit of ₹ 12 lakhs, as ordered, comes hardly to 12% of the amount payable by the applicant under the impugned order. We do not find any justificat....... + More

Having regard to the averments made in the petition, the material placed on record and the affidavit filed and reply of the Regional Director and the Official Liquidator, the petition is allowed subject to the above observations. I am satisfied that the prayer made in the petition deserves to be allowed. I do not find any legal impediment not to sanction the scheme of amalgamation.

Similarly, we are of the view that in the given facts and circumstances of this case, the accused themselves would be liable to be blamed for the delay, if any. With regard to the submission of the learned counsel for the appellant that the complainant has not challenged the non-framing of charge under Section 395 IPC, the same is not borne out from the record. In fact, an applica....... + More

But in so far as the amount to be paid, the learned Magistrate has awarded ₹ 34,65,000/-. Of course though it is permissible to award double the amount as fine or compensation, no reasoning has been assigned why so much of fine is imposed above the cheque amount. Might be that it is towards interest or for delay in payment. 32. Having regard to the facts and circumstanc....... + More

It is clear from the reading of the aforesaid provision that passport could be seized if in the opinion of the competent officer, it would be useful for, or relevant to, any proceedings under this Act. In so far as criminal proceedings are concerned, the same are already over and has resulted in conviction, as mentioned above. As far as penalty, which is imposed upon the petitioner by the adjudicating authority, is concerned, if the same is not paid, the respondent can recover the amount in accordance....... + More

Arguing further, he submitted that the words in Section 2(b) and 2(a) are so clear and unambiguous that no further interpretation need be made to amplify the same and that the provisions made in the enactment of 1989 make it clearer that the respondent institution is a recognized educational institution managed by the private management and is within the effective management of the State Government and, therefore, it is entitled to be excluded from the app....... + More

It is, thus, now well-settled law that an application for grant of permission for construction of a building is required to be decided in accordance with law applicable on the day on which such permission is granted. However, a statutory authority must exercise its jurisdiction within a reasonable time. See Kuldeep Singh v. Govt. of NCT of Delhi, AIR 2006 SC 2652 . 11. For the views we have take....... + More

Thus, the finding arrived at by the trial court appears to us to be categorical finding which cannot be termed to be vague. Therefore, the view taken by the trial court appears to be justified and the finding given by the High Court is absolutely vague. Hence, we affirm the finding of the trial court and set as....... + More

Therefore, they constitute an agreement or promise by the debtor to pay the time barred debt, Since the accused has not paid the cheque amounts inspite of demand made by the complainant the accused has committed an offence under Section 138 of the Act. The learned Magistrate has committed an error in dismissing the complaint and recording and order of acquittal in favour of the accused. 14. For the foregoing reaons, I answer the point formulated for my consideration in the negative. In the result, the Appeal is allowed ....... + More

CCE, Cochin by Final Order No. 921/2006 dated 10-5-2006 2006 (4) S.T.R. 40 (T) and also relies on the rulings cited supra. 6. On a careful consideration, we notice that the demands of Service Tax become sustainable only after 16-8-2002 when the provisions of Rule 6 was amended. Therefore, the Commissioner (Appeals) is justified in dropping the demands, as in t....... + More

Except one question, viz., what you want to say in your defence? , not only similar questions had been put, similar answers had been recorded. Strangely enough, even questions required to be put to each of the accused persons separately have been made part of the same questionnaire. Such common questions framed and asked to all the accused persons did not subserve the requirements of Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Pro....... + More
