ORDERR. Sadasivam, J.1. The question that has been referred to this Bench by Alagiriswami, J., isWhether an order of eviction obtained against a chief tenant could be executed by evicting the sub-tenants who were not made parties to the application for eviction.2. The petitioners obstructed delivery of possession in the execution application filed by the respondent-landlord, who had obtained an order of eviction against the chief tenant before the Rent Controller in H.R.C.

Bhagavathi Mudaliar Vs. N. Subramaniam

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-25-1967

Reported in: AIR1969Mad317

ORDERM. Anantanarayanan, C.J.1. The only question which is involved in this revision proceeding is whether an amount of Rs. 500 which was paid at the initial stage of an agreement to convey properties between the parties, represents an advance simpliciter, or has any tinge of the character of a deposit for due performance of the contract, or earnest money. If the amount of Rs. 500 is only an advance, the plaintiff (revision petitioner) was bound to succeed in his suit. If it could be conceivably held that the amount of Rs. 500 could be regarded, notwithstanding the mere nomenclature in the document the absence of a forfeiture clause, or the absence of any other indication in the evidence, as a deposit for the due performance, or earnest money, then the plaintiff will have to fail. '' The Courts below have non-suited the plaintiff, and he is the revision petitioner here.2. For an important reason I am not now proceeding into the one question of fact decided by the courts below, that tim...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-25-1967

Reported in: [1968]21STC367(Mad)

ORDERRamaprasada Rao, J. 1. In this batch of writ petitions, the main question arising for consideration is whether Terylene, Terene, Dacron, Nylon, Nylex etc., would come within the expression ' artificial silk ' which occurs as item 4 in the Third Schedule to the Madras General Sales Tax Act, 1959, and therefore exempt from sales tax. Main arguments were addressed in W.P. No. 2927 of 1966, and as the point for consideration in all the writ petitions in this batch is the same, we intend considering the respective contentions of the parties as urged before us in W.P. No. 2927 of 1966. It is not in dispute that notices, which were similar to those issued in W.P. No. 2927 of 1966, were issued to the other writ petitioners in this batch of petitions, and therefore we intend passing a common order considering the contentions of the respective counsel for either side in the main W.P. No. 2927 of 1966.2. The petitioner in this case has made the assessing officer as the 1st respondent, the St...
