Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-27-1991

Reported in: (1992)1MLJ2

ORDERSrinivasan, J.1. The civil revision petition is taken up for hearing.2. The order of the Court below is wholly unsustainable. This Court has directed the petitioner herein to withdraw the money by order dated 12.4.1990 in C.M.P. No. 3918 of 1990. The trial Court passed an order in 14.3.1991 directing issue of cheque to the petitioner. Then the trial court passed a suo motu order on 26.4.1991 cancelling the said direction to issue cheque on the ground that it had received a telegram from the petitioner's advocate Thiru S. Mariappan and there is a petition pending in EANo.69 of 1991 for change of vakalat. Neither of the grounds is sufficident to change the direction already given. At any rate, the court had no jurisdiction to suo motu pass an order cancelling the direction to issue cheque. The earlier direction to issue cheque was made pursuant to the order of this Court permitting the petitioner to withdraw the amount. If the petitioner's advocate has got a claim as against the pet...

Reported in: 1992(39)ECC85

ORDERMisra, J.1. An unfortunate delay has occurred in the disposal of this petition, which gives a glaring example how a proceeding in a court of law can be contrived to defeat the very purpose for which preventive detentions are ordered. For this inference we are not required to say much beyond taking notice of the relevant facts;The petitioner, it appears from the facts, has been subjected to proceedings under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act in May, 1987. On 12.5.1987 the second respondent's officers searched the premises No. 35, Gafoor Sahib Street, Royapettah, Madras-14, and seized Indian currency worth Rs. 17,000 and four bank drafts worth Rs. 20,000 as well as some papers which contained noting for Rs. 2,00,000 and odd. The petitioner, along with some persons viz., Seeni Mohamed and Buhari, was interrogated and according to the respondents, admitted being involved in Rs. 2 crores transactions in violation of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act. He was produced, however before...
