Suresh V. Chaturvedi Vs. Aes Control Pvt. Ltd.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jul-24-2003

Reported in: 3(2003)CCR418; 105(2003)DLT978; 2003(70)DRJ210; 2003(3)JCC226; 2003RLR566

J.D. Kapoor, J. 1. Impugned order dated 17.7.2003 passed by Sh.A.K.Garg, learned Addl. Sessions Judge reflects the strange and preposterous way the application of the petitioner for exemption from personal appearance was dealt with. Petitioner (Accused No.2) paid the price of engaging the same counsel which his co-accused (Accused No.4) had engaged as the learned ASJ dismissed the application of the petitioner on the highly unjudicial premise that since similar application was made on behalf of accused no.4 in an irresponsible manner on the last date by the counsel who happens to be the counsel of petitioner, he would not proceed on the presumption that the application on behalf of petitioner has been made today on proper instructions. Not only the application was dismissed but the most coercive process of non-bailable warrant was ordered to be issued against the petitioner.2. To imagine that the counsel was having similar instructions for the petitioner he had from his co-accused is b...

Som Nath Sapra Vs. State and anr.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jul-24-2003

Reported in: 2003CriLJ4282; 106(2003)DLT139; 2003(70)DRJ197; (2003)135PLR42; 2003RLR551

SJ.D. Kapoor, J.1. It appears that Shri S.N.Dhingra, Addl. Sessions Judge has scant regard for the judgments of this Court and sticks to the procedure of trial of complaint cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act invented by him and not the one prescribed under the Code of Criminal Procedure. Vide impugned order dated 1.5.2003, the learned ASJ has after recording the statement of the complainant put the evidence of issuance of cheque by the petitioner against the liability towards complainant and dishonouring of the same and after eliciting the statement of the petitioner that he had no liability towards complainant as the cheque was obtained forcibly from him and in this regard he has made a complaint to the SHO, straightaway called upon the accused to produce his evidence in defense taking the case of the complainant having been proved without trial. 2. The illegality, harshness and judicial tyranny is writ large on the impugned order as the learned ASJ imposed a co...

Ayurvedic and Unani Tibbia College Vs. Durgawati Jaiswal

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jul-24-2003

Reported in: 109(2004)DLT465; 2004(75)DRJ412

Mukul Mudgal, J.1. The plea raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner in this writ petition challenging the award dated 5th July, 2002, is whether the respondent Durgawati Jaiswal, who has been working on a daily wages basis as an Aya in the petitioner college since 21st November 1988, could be regularized or not. The learned counsel has submitted that the age limit could be relaxed so as to permit regularization as the respondent at the time of the recruitment was over age. It is the petitioner's own case that its own Screening Committee on 1st February, 2001 recommended the age relaxation and no action was taken by the management for more than one year and no order for regularization could, thereforee, be passed as the recommendation of the Screening Committee could not be implemented without the management's approval. 2. In these circumstances, the Tribunal, in my view, rightly granted regularization. It may not be out of place to mention that the respondent had completed her...

J.D. Kapoor, J.1. This petition ruminates significant questions of law as it challenges the legality of impugned order dated 8.7.2003 passed by Sh.Prem Kumar, learned Special Judge whereby bail application of the petitioner was dismissed on his appearing in the court in response to summons for appearance issued while taking cognizance in a warrant case and was sent to judicial custody in spite of the fact that throughout investigation and till the filing of charge sheet under Section 173 Cr.P.C the petitioner was neither arrested nor brought before the court nor was forwarded in custody under Section 170 Cr.P.C.2. Following proposition of law emerges for determination:-'Whether the court after having exercised discretion to issue summons while taking cognizance under Section 204 Cr.P.C in a warrant case can enter into the domain of nature of offence other than those for which there is prohibition for granting bail under the provisions of Section 437 Cr.P.C and thereby send the accused ...

Decided on: Jul-23-2003

1. Revenue filed these appeals against the order-in-appeal passed by the Commissioner (Appeals), whereby the Commissioner (Appeals) held that wanish skin cream/lotion is manufactured by the respondents is a ayurvedic medicine.3. The contention of the revenue is that wanish skin cream/lotion is not a medicament as provided under Chapter 30 of the Central Excise Tariff. It is only a skin cream for preventing and diminishing post delivery stretch, scars, etc., and these marks, on the skin, are not a disease or ailment, but these are only a natural phenomena and the product, in question, is only used as cosmetic to improve the condition of the skin.4.
