Radhakrishna Rao, J. 1. It is human nature that when the matrimonial relations are unfortunately ruptured between the husband and wife, both of them would be prone to invent different versions and in that they would not hesitate to throw blame for such estrangement on each other and some times such estrangement is bound to give rise to various suspicious in their minds against each other. That is what exactly had happened in this case filed by the husband who sought a divorce Under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 ('the Act' for brevity) on the ground of wife's cruelty and mental torture.2. The brief facts as called out from the record are as follows. The marriage between the appellant-husband and the respondent-wife was performed on 28th May, 1978 at Hyderabad according to Vedic religious system. Later the marriage was consummated. At the time of the marriage, the husband was working in the Indian Overseas Bank at Karimnagar. The wife was studying in Library Science which sh...

1. This appeal is preferred by the Management against the judgment of the learned single Judge dismissing the writ petition. The writ petition was dismissed on the ground that the petitioner has an alternative remedy by way of Second Appeal to the Labour Court under Section 41(3) of the A.P. Shops and Establishments Act, 1966. 2. As there has been considerable litigation in this matter earlier which has gone upto Supreme Court at two stage, it is necessary to state the fact from the very beginning of the dispute. 3. The dispute between the appellant and the Workman, the 2nd respondent, is in relation to the age of retirement of the workmen in the appellant establishment. 4. There was a settlement between the Management and the workmen under Section 18(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act on 25th April 1983 under which the age of superannuation of the workmen was fixed at 55 years. The settlement was to be in force upto 30th June 1986 and the next settlement, incorporating practically the ...

Jeevan Reddy, J.1. A common question arises in this batch of Writ Appeals and writ petitions. Some of the writ petitions came up for disposal before a learned single Judge who allowed the same with certain directions under his judgment and order dated 19-9-1989. Writ Appeals are preferred against the said judgment. Other writ petitions which were not disposed of are posted for hearing along with the Writ Appeals. For the sake of convenience we may refer to the facts in Writ Appeal No. 1555/1989 (arising from W.P.No. 1039/89). It is agreed by the counsel for the appellant as well as Sri S. Ramachandra Rao, appearing on behalf of the writ petitioners, that the facts in this case may be taken as representative of the facts in all other cases.2. The petitioner in WP.No. 1039/89, 'M/s Mallikarjuna Chemicals, Piduguralla', came forward with the following averments:3. The petitioner-company is a small scale industry engaged in manufacturing/processing activities of 'burnt lime'. It is registe...

1. The question is whether the stabilizers sold by the respondent herein ought to be taxed as electrical goods under entry No. 38 of Schedule I or as accessories to televisions under entry No. 3 of the First Schedule. This Court had already taken the view that since the stabilizers are not used exclusively in connection with televisions, but can be used for many other purposes, they ought to be taxed as electrical goods under entry No. 38. This is the view taken by the Tribunal. The T.R.C. is accordingly dismissed. 2. Petition dismissed....

Kalapala Babu Rao Vs. Kalapala Ammaji

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Feb-20-1990

Reported in: I(1991)DMC632

Radhakrishna Rao, J.1. This case illustrates the typical mentality of a husband who, out of greed to the property belonging to the foster father of his wife, made a mockery of the oath taken at the time of the marriage that he would live with her with all love and affection, denied the parentage of the two minor children thus indirectly referring to the unchastity of his wife, which no Indian woman can tolerate for such an insinuation by no less a person than her husband. This unfounded castigation has given rise to a reasonable apprehension in the mind of the wife (respondent) of danger to her life and also of her minor children and made her to live apart from the company of her husband. Now, the husband seeks the company of his wife pleading that he made the remarks on the spur of the moment or in a fit of anger.2. The appellant-petitioner, who is unemployed, is the husband of the respondent. Both belong to Christian religion. The husband tiled a petition in the District Court, Krish...
