ORDER OF THE COURT (PER MAJORITY):Section 50(2) of the L.A. Act confers on a local authority for whom land is being acquired a right to appear in the acquisition proceedings before the Collector and the reference Court and adduce evidence for the purpose of determining the amount of compensation.The said right carries with it the right to be given adequate notice by the Collector as well as the reference Court before whom acquisition proceedings are pending of the date on which the matter of determination of compensation will be taken up.The proviso to Section 50(2) only precludes a local authority from seeking a reference but it does not deprive the local authority which feels aggrieved by the determination of the amount of compensation by the Collector or by the reference court to invoke the remedy under Article 226 of the Constitution as well as the remedies available under the L.A.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jan-13-1995

Reported in: [1999]97CompCas129(Mad)

Janarthanam, J.1. In all these actions, I rather feel, there is no need or necessity to advert to the facts of each case, inasmuch as, what is challenged is the alleged commission of offence by certain companies, under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (Act No. 26 of 1881 as subsequently amended for short 'the NI Act'), for dishonour of cheques on account of either of the two contingencies or eventualities, as contemplated therein, viz., 'insufficiency of the amount of money standing to the credit of the account of the person', or 'it exceeded the amount arranged to be paid from the account of a person by an agreement with that bank' for which, prosecution had been launched by preferring individual complaints before competent courts of jurisdiction purely on questions of law relatable to the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, by raising the following grounds : (1) The offence was committed by the company and not by the petitio...

Janarthanam, J. 1. The petitioner in this action is the accused in C.C. No. 381 of 1993, before the Judicial Magistrate No. III, Erode, which had been taken on file on the launching of a prosecution in the shape of preference of a complaint by the respondent, for the alleged offence under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (Act No. 26 of 1881) (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'). (a) It appears that the petitioner/accused issued a cheque dated August 20, 1992, for a specified sum of money towards discharge of a debt to the respondent/complainant. When the cheque so issued had been presented for encashment on August 21, 1992, the same had been returned unpaid on the same date, for want of funds. Again the said cheque appears to have been represented on October 19, 1992, for encashment and on the same day, the cheque had been returned unpaid for want of funds. (b) Consequently, the respondent/complainant issued a statutory notice on October 24, 1992, to the petitione...

ORDERSrinivasan, J.1. The prayer in the writ petition is for issue of a writ of mandamus, directing the respondents not to interfere with the petitioner's right to carry on quarrying in the demised quarry measuring 30-63 acres in S. No. 446, Alapuram village, Harur Taluk in Dharmapuri District and removing the quarried stones outside till the lease period expires on 2.2.1987.2. On the face of it, the prayer has worked itself out in 1987 and nothing survives in the writ petition. Hence, it has become infructuous.3. However, the petitioner has come forward with a miscellaneous petition (W.M.P. No. 18671 of 1994) for amending the prayer in the writ petition in the following terms:To issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to permit the writ petitioner to commence and execute the quarrying works subject to the terms and conditions of the lease granted and agreement executed from the date of agreement to a period of 6 years and 6 months and 13 days, which period the petitioner wa...

Jayasimha Babu, J. 1. By consent this matter has been taken up for final hearing and learned counsel for the parties heard. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order of the first respondent passed on November 29, 1994, on the statement in Form No. 37-I filed by the petitioner on August 31, 1994, for the transfer of the property located at 33, Rudra Road, St. Thomas Mount, Madras. By that order the authority did not decide to acquire the property. Nor did it issue a no objection certificate for the transfer of the property to respondent No. 2. The authority's decision was merely to lodge the statement : 3. The reason given for this unusual order is that, according to the authority, the land sought to be transferred was in excess of the ceiling limit laid down in the Tamil Nadu Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1978. 4. This order is wholly unsustainable. The authority's powers and jurisdiction are limited to safeguarding the interests of the Revenue in accordance with the provi...
