Mr. Bhagwan Singh Vs. Food Corp. of India

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jan-16-2004

Reported in: 2004(73)DRJ32

Pradeep Nandrajog, J.1. Writ petition was filed in the year 1984. Rule was issued on 18.4.1985. Writ petition came up for hearing on 26.9.2002. None appeared for the petitioner. Writ petition was dismissed in default. CM 4852/2003 was filed for restoration. Writ petition was restored. It has reached for final hearing today. None has appeared for the parties. I have two options: to dismiss the writ petition for default; or alternatively deal with the issue raised on merits. I choose the latter in view of the fact that the writ petition was dismissed for default once and has been restored. Dismissal for default a second time is likely to result in the same fate as the earlier dismissal. This court has been observing that counsels are not appearing in old matters, I, thereforee, dispose of the writ petition on merits.2. Petitioner challenges the report of enquiry dated 28th December, 1979 and the order imposing penalty dated 15th February, 1982 as well as the order dismissing the appeal f...

Reported in: 109(2004)DLT514; 2004(72)DRJ747

Badar Durrez Ahmed, J. 1. This Judgment shall dispose of 22 writ petitions. All these writ petitions question the escalation in prices of commercial flats offered by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) under the First and Second Self-Financing Schemes (SFS) of 1984 and 1985 respectively. The common grievance of the petitioners is that the price being charged for the flats allotted to them is much higher than the price indicated at the time of application and that there was no justification on the part of the DDA for charging such an escalated price. THE QUESTIONS 2. The questions that arise for determination are:- 1. Whether the costing/pricing of flats and of escalation of such prices of flats is in the realm of contract and, if so, whether a challenge to the same by way of a writ petition under article 226 of the Constitution would be maintanable? 2. If such a writ petition was maintanable, whether the escalation in prices of flats under said two schemes were at all justified? THE ...

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Jan-16-2004

Reported in: (2004)89TTJ(Del)95

ORDERK. C. Singhal, J.M.This appeal is directed against the order of Commissioner (Appeals) confirming the block assessment order passed by Deputy Commissioner Circle-23(1), New Delhi dated 31-12-2001, wherein the undisclosed income of Rs. 40,26,200 was made.2. At the outset, the learned counsel for the assessed has challenged the validity of the assessment on the ground that the notice under section 158BC was never served upon the assessed.

He invited our attention to the copy of the Panchnama appearing at page 1 of the paper book to point out that the search was carried out at the residential premises of the assessed, i.e., D-9, Pamposh Encla...
