Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-19-1963

Reported in: 1965CriLJ377

V. Bhargava, J.1. We have heard learned Counsel for the appellants on this appeal and we find that there were numerous reasons why that petition of the respondents should have been allowed and the proceedings taken against them should have been quashed. The first point, which was taken before the learned Single Judge, was that Rule 12 of the Kumaun Panchayat Forest Rules conferring powers on the panchayat to impose a fine up to a limit of Rs. 5/- for each offence under the Forest Act was ultra vires the rule making powers of the Government which made these rules.learned Counsel appearing for the State drew our attention to the provisions of Section 6 of the Scheduled districts Act and urged that this rule conferring this powers was made in exercise of the State Government's powers to make orders under that section. That section did empower the Local Government to appoint officers to administer Civil and Criminal Justice and further to make order regulating the procedure of the officers...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-10-1963

Reported in: [1964]52ITR143(All)

The point raised in this petition under articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution is whether a certain entry in a document is privileged under section 54 of the Income-tax Act.Behari Lal and Sita Ram are respondents Nos. 3 and 4 in the present writ petition. There was a proceeding between Behari Lal and Sita Ram under section 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure with respect to a certain room. The Magistrate, who was dealing with the criminal case, made a reference to the civil court under section 146 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The reference came up for disposal before the learned Munsif, Hamirpur. Sita Rams case is that he had received rent for the room in dispute from a certain firm. In order to substantiate that part of his case, Sita Ram summoned the record of assessment of the firm from the Income-tax Officer, Banda Circle, Kanpur.

Smt. Pyara and ors. Vs. Shiv Shanker

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-08-1963

Reported in: AIR1963All476

Desai, C.J. 1. In this appeal arising from a decree passed for restitution of conjugal rights under the Hindu Marriage Act by a Civil Judge a preliminary objection has been raised on behalf of the respondent that it does not lie in this Court. The respondent valued the suit at Rs. 200/- and obtained a decree. The appellants have valued the appeal from the decree at Rs. 11,000/- and filed the appeal in this Court. Under Section 39 of the Oudh Courts Act an appeal lies to this Court only where the value of the original suit exceeded Rs. 10,000/-. In this case the value of the original sun was only Rs. 200/- and, therefore, an appeal from that would not lie in this Court. The valuation put down by the appellants is of no consequence at all as held by a Full Bench of this Court in Paras Ram v. Janki Bai : AIR1961All395 . It is the valuation of the suit that governs the question of forum of appeal and not the valuation arbitrarily placed on the memorandum of appeal. If the valuation of suit...
