Nirmal Singh Vs. the State of Uttar Pradesh and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Oct-20-1978

Reported in: 1979CriLJ226

S. Malik, J.1. This Criminal Revision, as usual, came up for hearing before a learned Judge of this Court.2. At the time of hearing it appears to have been urged by the learned Counsel for the parties before the learned Single Judge that in this case it is necessary to decide whether a Magistrate while accepting a final report under Section 169 of the Cr.P.C. 1898 (hereinafter referred to as the Code) functions as a Court. Contrary views have been expressed in two different cases by two learned Judges of this Court on this question. In Sheo Bilas v. State : AIR1959All14 it was observed: (at p. 3 of Cri. L. J.)A final report under Section 169 is certainly submitted to a Magistrate for approval but the Magistrate at that stage is not functioning as a Court but is functioning only as a Magistrate.Another learned Judge of this Court observed in Nand Singh v. Sardar Singh 1964 All Cri C 22 that a Magistrate while accepting a final report functions as a Court.In view of these contrary decisi...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Oct-06-1978

Reported in: AIR1978All529

Satish Chandra, C.J.1. This group of special appeals is directed against the judgment of a learned single Judge quashing the Excise Commissioner's order dated 18th September, 1974, whereunder he had indicated that vend fee will continue to be charged from wholesale licence-holders of denatured spirit, and further directing the Excise Commissioner to refund the vend fee actually paid by the petitioner-respondents for a period of three years prior to the institution of the writ petition.2. The petitioner-respondent holds a licence in Form FL-16 for the wholesale vend of denatured spirit. It questioned the validity of the levy of vend fee on denatured spirit.

In its true nature and character it was an excise duty or tax. The State Legislature had no competence to authorise the levy of excise duty or tax on denatured spirit, because l...
