Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-11-1987

Reported in: [1988]70STC345(Mad)

M.N. Chandurkar, C.J. 1. Appeal admitted with the consent of the learned Additional Government Pleader (Taxes) and the petitioner-appellant. 2. It is possible to dispose of the writ petition itself at this stage. The writ petition is directed against a notice under section 22 of the Revenue Recovery Act (hereinafter referred to as the 'Act') whereby certain properties belonging to the petitioner-appellant were advertised for auction sale in revenue recovery proceedings. The contention of the petitioner-appellant was that the liability in respect of which revenue recovery proceedings have been started is itself the subject-matter of a proceeding which has not yet been disposed of by the Deputy Commissioner. It appears that at the instance of the petitioner-appellant, the Deputy Commissioner has been directed to take up the revision petition filed by the petitioner-appellant and to dispose it of in accordance with law by the order of the Tribunal dated 7th February, 1985. However, when t...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-11-1987

Reported in: (1989)1MLJ387

V. Ramaswami, J.1. The auction sale of arrack shop No. 2, Kumbakonam, Thanjavur district for the lease year 1973-74 was held on 21.7.1973. The appellant's bid for a monthly kist of Rs. 30,700 was accepted and the auction was knocked down in his favour. Apart from depositing Rs. 1,000 as per the conditions of the auction which enabled him to bid, the appellant did not make any further deposit. Under Clause VII of the Conditions of Auction Sale, every person whose bid is provisionally accepted shall at once deposit half a month's rent for each shop knocked down in his favour unless the initial deposit equals or exceeds two months rents. In this case the initial deposit was only Rs. 1,000 and therefore the question of its being equal or exceeding two months rent does not arise. The clause further provided that if he fails to deposit half a month's rent immediately, the initial deposit made by him with reference to condition No. 2 will be forfeited. As per notice of auction, the highest bi...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-05-1987

Reported in: [1988]68STC170(Mad)

M.N. Chandurkar, C.J.1. We are giving reasons for dismissal of this appeal at the admission stage because the learned counsel has vehemently contended that a ruling on the question, whether an interim injunction granted by one learned judge can be vacated by another learned judge in the absence of any counter filed on behalf of the State Government or by other respondents in the writ petition, should be given by the Bench. If an interim injunction is so vacated, then to quote the words of the learned counsel, 'the judge steps into the shoes of the Government Pleader'. We are not taking a very serious note of the manner in which the contention is advanced, having regard to the fact that the counsel does not appear to have sufficient experience of arguing matters in this Court. 2. It is rather astounding that it should be argued that the power of the court to vary, modify, confirm or set aside an interim order must depend upon whether a counter has been filed or not. There may be any num...

Reported in: (1988)ILLJ174Mad

ORDERNainar Sundaram, J.1. The original petitioner, who is no more and who was working as Head Clerk of Gobichettipalayam Branch of the State Bank of India, was proceeded against in disciplinary action under paragraph 521 of the Sastry award, read with paragraph 18.28 of the Desai Award.

In this writ petition, th...
