V.P. Zackria Vs. Mahavir Investments

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-11-1996

Reported in: 1996(2)CTC361

ORDERN. Arumugham, J.1. This revision was sought to be admitted on the only ground that the issuance of summons to the petitioner/accused is not the resultant factor of the application of mind before the court below while entertaining the complaint for allegedly taking cognizance of any offence under the Indian Penology. Mr. Krishnamurthy, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has made an honest attempt to convince me that since the entertaining of the very complaint by the learned Magistrate is the resultant factor of the non-application of mind, and as such no offence can be taken cognizance of, ordering the issuance of summons resulted in the failure of justice to the parties and that therefore, even on the receipt of the summons from the trial court, the revisional jurisdiction sought for before this court to set aside the said summons can be entertained.2. In the light of the settled position of law by the High Court as well as the Apex court under Sections 201 to 204 of th...

Poppi Reddy and anr. Vs. Ellammal and ors.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-11-1996

Reported in: (1996)2MLJ636

Srinivasan, J.1. The only question in this appeal is whether under Ex.A-1 the legatee gets absolute estate or a life estate over the property bequeathed to her. One Mandaiyan @ Siddhi Reddy executed Ex.A-1 on 14.5.1948 bequeathing his properties, one of them being the suit property. The suit property is given to his daughter Poppammal. At that time, she was a minor and her guardians were directed to manage the property during her minority. After the marriage with one Ellamma Reddy, herself and her husband executed a sale deed in favour of the first defendant for a sum of Rs. 1,000 on 7.4.1956. The plaintiffs are the children of the said Poppammal. They have filed the suit for declaration of their title to the property and for an injunction restraining the first defendant from alienating or encumbering the suit property in favour of any other person.2. The trial court held that the estate given to Poppammal was only a limited estate and the alienation by her will not bind the plaintiffs...

R.S. Munirajan Vs. Jaya theatre and Five ors.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-10-1996

Reported in: 1996(2)CTC74

ORDERRaju, J.1. The above three revision petitions have been filed by the plaintiff in O.S.No.105 of 1991 on the file of the Court of Subordinate Judge, Kumbakonam. The salient features of the controversy involved for consideration in the suit and the course of conduct adopted at every stage by the plaintiff in the suit to delay the expeditious disposed of the suit have been already adverted to by me in my earlier order dated 17.4.1996 in CRP.Nos. 905 and 906 of 1996 and hence, I consider it unnecessary to refer to them once again and I make it clear that the proceedings now initiated by the plaintiff being a continuation of the earlier proceedings culminating in my earlier order, this order can be treated as an order also made in the same manner as dealing with a continuing process with reference to the conduct of the suit, which even during the last time when the matter was brought before this Court was at the stage of arguments before the trial Court.2. It is necessary to appreciate...

ORDERGovardhan, J.1. Petitioners in the CRP No. 2181 of 1995 are the landlords. They have filed an application seeking eviction of the tenant viz., the second respondent in the civil revision petition on the ground of wilful default in payment of rent and on the ground of denial of title of the landlord by the tenant. The Official Receiver, North Arcot Ambedkar District and Timvannamalai Sambuvarayar District at Vellore filed an application for impleading him as a party to the proceedings. After enquiry, the learned Rent Controller allowed the same. Against the said order in IA No. 10 of 1995 in RCOP No. 18 of 1994 the civil revision petition has been filed by the landlords on the ground that for deciding the question whether the denial of title of the landlords by the tenant in the rent control Proceedings the presence of the Official Receiver who was a third party is not necessary.
