Reported in: II(1984)ACC173; [1986]59CompCas291(All)

M.N. Mithal, J.1. A question of comparatively some importance has been raised in this appeal under Section 110D of the Motor Vehicles Act. Following an accident between Bus No. UPZ 8963 in which the deceased, Km. Saulat Nigar, was travelling on May 3, 1974, and truck No. WVK 9261 at Kanpur Mahgaon Road, a claim petition was filed which was allowed and a compensation of Rs. 15,000 was awarded against the insurance company.2. The insurance company has presented this appeal and Sri A. K. Banerji, learned counsel for the appellant, has urged three points. Firstly, he has urged that the liability of the appellant was merely to reimburse the insured and no primary liability could be fastened on it. As the award does not make the owner of the vehicle liable under no circumstances, that liability could be fixed on the insurer. He also urged that having recorded a finding that both the truck and the bus driver were responsible for causing the accident, the entire amount of compensation could no...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-25-1983

Reported in: [1984]56STC314a(All)

B.N. Sapru, J.1. This is a revision by the assessee and pertains to the assessment year 1973-74.2. The assessee is aggrieved by an order of the Sales Tax Tribunal which decided, in appeal, that the assessees had effected sales of diaries and labels and had not done any works contract.3. The assessee is a dealer in diaries, books, etc. He also booked orders to prepare labels of specifications provided by the customers and also prepared diaries of certain specifications. The assessee has been found to have charged a consolidated price for the diaries and labels. He has not charged separately for the paper and labour. The Tribunal held that since the assessee had charged a consolidated price for the products supplied, that would be the crucial test for determining whether the assessee was entitled to any exemption in respect of the printing charges. The approach of the Tribunal was, as the Tribunal expressly said so in paragraph 12 of the judgment, that 'the primary question in such cases...

N.N. Mithal, J.1. This is an appeal against the order of remand in a suit filed on the allegations that the property had been partitioned in a particular manner but still the defendants were trying to interfere with his rights. The defence plea was that though partition had taken place, it was neither in the manner stated by the plaintiff nor at the alleged time.
