Court: Chennai

Decided on: Feb-11-1992

Reported in: (1992)2MLJ63

Abdul Hadi, J.1. Defendant is the appellant in this appeal against the decree in favour of the respondent/Corporation of Madras, in the latter's suit O.S. No. 5943 of 1969, on the file of the VII Assistant Judge, City Civil Court, Madras, for recovery of property tax amounting to the tune of Rs. 10,849 for the period from second half of 1964-65 to second half of 1968-69 (both inclusive). The suit amount admittedly relates to enhanced tax levied under Section 137-B of the Madras City Municipal (Corporation) Act, 1919. No doubt the defendant has purchased the suit property only on 25.10.1966 and one contention of the Learned Counsel for the appellant is that his vendor had not been impleaded in the suit. But under the Act even the purchaser will be liable for the property tax on the property purchased by him, even with reference to the period prior to his purchase.2. But the substantial contention of the learned Counsel for the appellant is that even assuming the procedure prescribed und...

ORDERS. Nainar Sundaram, Actg. C.J.1. The prayer in the writ petition runs as follows:For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is most respectfully prayed that this Honourable Court may be pleased to issue a writ of declaration, declaring the Tamil Nadu Recognised Private Schools (Regulation) and Private Colleges (Regulation) Amendment Act, 1982 (48 of 1982) as ultra vires and unconstitutional in so far as the petitioners herein are concerned, and pass such further or other order or orders as this Honourable Court may deem fit and proper under the facts and circumstances of the case and render justice. The petitioner is indisputably a minority institution.

Arunachalam, J. 1. All these petitions are disposed of together by a common order since the points raised are identical and the petitioners are brothers. 2. All these petitions have been preferred under section 482 of the Criminal procedure Code, 1973, to stay all further proceedings in E.O.C.C. Nos. 159 of 1989, 160 of 1989, 161 of 1989, 167 of 1989 and 168 of 1989 pending on the file of the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Economic Offences, Egmore, Madras. Interim stay was ordered in all these petitions on October 25, 1989. 3. The only ground on which stay was asked for and obtained in all the pending prosecutions was that the respective petitioners had filed applications before the Settlement Commission and, in spite of objections by the Income-tax Commissioner, the Settlement Commission had admitted all the applications preferred by the petitioners. The Settlement Commission has ultimately passed order in favour of the petitioners and hence continuation of these prosecuti...
