S.M. Syed Amina Beevi Vs. Thaika Sahib Alim and anr.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Sep-10-1993

Reported in: I(1994)DMC557

Raju, J.1. The petitioner in the above revision filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, which is yet to be numbered but had to be posted for orders regarding the maintainability, challenges the return of the papers said to have been made by an endorsement of the Sherishtadar of Family Court, Madras date 15.6.1993. The Registry of this Court has entertained a doubt regarding the maintainability of this revision and hence this revision was directed by me to be posted for orders.2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner initially contended that the second respondent in the above revisiion, viz., the Sherishtadar of Family Court, Madras is not the competent authority to pass orders even for returning the papers and that if at all it is for the Presiding Officer of the Family Court to pass such orders in this regard. At this stage, this Court pointed out to the learned Counsel for the petitioner that if the objection is only that the Sheristadar has passed the orders, the papers f...

Ratnam, J.1. In this appeal, at the instance of respondents 3 and 4 in M.A.O.C.P.No. 476 of 1990 on the file of Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (District Court), Dindigul, against the award passed therein, holding that the appellants herein are not entitled to any share in the compensation awarded to respondents 1 to 5, in respect of the death of one Kadirmuthu, in an accident that took place on 4.11.1988, involving the motor cycle TCL 235 driven by the deceased and the Van TCT 2656, the only question that arises for consideration is, whether the Tribunal was justified in holding so.2. According to the case of the widows and children of the deceased Kadirmuthu, the accident in which he lost his life, was only on account of the rash and negligent driving of the van TCT 2656 and in respect of his death, compensation in a sum of Rs. 2,00,000/- should be awarded to them. The claim so made, was resisted, among others, by the appellants herein on the ground that as parents of the deceased, t...

K.A. Swami, C.J.1. In these writ petitions and also the writ appeals, the validity of several provisions of Chit Funds Act, 1982 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'), is challenged. In the meanwhile, the Supreme Court has considered the validity of the provisions contained in the very Act in Shriram Chits and Investments (P.) Ltd. v. Union of India [1994] 79 Comp Cas 298, and held that all the provisions of the Act are valid. Therefore, these writ petitions and the writ appeals are liable to be dismissed in the light of the pronouncement made by the Supreme Court. However, an argument is advanced before us that the validity of section 6(3) of the Act has not been specifically considered and, therefore, the same be considered in these cases. We may only refer to paragraphs 29 and 30 of the judgment of the Supreme Court in Shriram Chits and Investments (P.) Ltd.'s case [1994] 79 Comp Cas 298 to meet this contention. Paragraphs 29 and 30 of the judgment of the Supreme Court read as foll...

K.A. Swami, C.J. 1. This writ appeal is preferred against the order dated 19.3.1992 passed by the learned single Judge in W. P. No. 2273 of 1984. In the writ petition, the respondent herein sought for quashing the order in Ref. No. DO : GM; 664, dated 3.12.1975 issued by the General Manager of the appellant/Bank, terminating the services of the respondent. Learned single Judge has allowed the writ petition on the ground that the order passed by the appellate authority is not a speaking order, and consequently has directed the appellate authority to reconsider the appeal afresh. Hence, the Bank has come up in appeal.2. We have been taken through the proceedings of the Board which are found in pages 82 to 85 of the typed set and also the findings of the enquiring authority which are found in pages 56 to 64 of the typed set.
