Reported in: 1958CriLJ1290
ORDERKumarayya, J.1. This is a petition to revise the order of the District Magistrate, Hyderabad City dated 22-12-1955. The short point for determination is, whether the learned Magistrate was right in holding that the sanction purporting to have been given by the Central Government on 19-11-1951 signed by the Secretary to the Government of India in Ministry of Communication, is a legal, valid and proper sanction sufficient in law to give jurisdiction to the Magistrate to try the accused-petitioner for the offence as alleged in the charge sheet filed on 13-10-1952.2. To appreciate the argument advanced it is necessary to state the facts as mentioned in the challan which reads as follows:1. The accused Major K. Jayaram Iyer, a public servant in the employ of the Central Government, just after Police Action, took over the administration of the Post Offices at Hyderabad in the capacity of a Liaison Officer on 18-9-1948 and assumed charge as the Post-Master General of the Hyderabad State ...

They are brought by the State against the judgment of the District Judge, Visakhapatnam, allowing the claims of the plaintiffs for refund of the amounts collected by way of sales-tax.

The suit related to the assessment year 1947-48 and the assessees are residents of Anakapally.

Bangaru Reddy and anr. Vs. the State
Court: Andhra Pradesh
Decided on: Jul-03-1957
Reported in: AIR1959AP95; 1959CriLJ166
ORDERKumarayya, J.1. The only point involved in these references is whether the learned Magistrate, having signed, dated and pronounced his judgment, which did not contain the operative portion of it viz., the particulars of Sub-section (2) of Section 367 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, had power to add to that judgment by a separate order after the accused and the advocates had made their .signatures thereon and were not informed that there was an additional order to be passed in continuation of this judgment nor was the time fixed at which it shall be passed. The learned District Magistrate is of the view that this addition is a serious irregularity sufficient to vitiate the order, and the judgment should, therefore, be set aside.2. The facts are that the accused were charged with an offence under Section 160, I.P.C. and the case was tried summarily against them. Some of the accused had admitted their guilt while others did not; and the learned Magistrate, on the evidence, carne t...
