These three revision applications arise out of the assessment proceedings for the purposes of assessing the property tax in respect of the house property of the petitioner herein for the assessment years 1975-76, 1978-79 and 1979-80 respectively, seeking to fix the rateable value at Rs. 45,174/-, Rs. 46,620/-, and Rs. 72,233/-, respectively by the Commissioner of the respondent-Municipal Corporation.

Dwarkadas Gurumukhdas Agraval Vs. Bhanuben

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Nov-20-1984

Reported in: AIR1986Guj8; (1985)1GLR255

ORDER1. The petitioner-husband being aggrieved by the order of the learned Civil Judge (S. D.) Bharuch granting maintenance pendente lite of Rs. 250/ - per month to the respondent-wife I herein in Hindu Marriage Petition No. 34 of 1980 on his file moved by the said husband for divorce on the ground that the wife is living in adultery, has come by way of this revision before this Court.2. The question which has been canvassed before me in this revision application is of some importance since according to the learned Advocate for the petitioner the view of the learned Civil Judge in upholding the right of an unchaste wife for maintenance pending the proceedings is tantamount to encouraging immoral behaviour on the part of an erring spouse. At the outset it must be admitted that in the main proceedings for divorce the decree has been granted by the Matrimonial Court on the ground bf the respondent-wife having been proved to be living in adultery. Whether this ultimate outcome of the origi...

1. The petitioner herein challenges the order No. MHK/3-B-46/84-85, Mehsana, dated 17th September, 1984, whereby the petitioner's service as a Forest Guard is terminated on the ground that he had passed the age limit of 25 years when his appointment was made. The petitioner was born on 1st June, 1956. His name was enrolled in the register maintained by the Social Welfare Office as a person seeking a job. The Social Welfare Office recommended the name of the petitioner on 9th June 1981 for his appointment as Forest Guard in the aforesaid department. A selection test was held on 15th June, 1981 in which the petitioner passed. There were several other candidates with him, who failed to pass the test.

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Nov-20-1984

Reported in: (1985)1.GLR57

P.S. Poti, C.J.1. These cases are heard together since the question arising for decision in all these is identical. Certain provisions of Gujarat Public Moneys (Recovery of Dues) Act, 1979 (for the sake of convenience we refer to the Act hereafter, in brief, as 'the Recovery Act') are challenged by the petitioners in all these petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Recovery Act is passed by the Gujarat Legislature and, as its preamble shows, is an Act enabling speedy recovery of certain classes of dues payable to the State Government, Corporations, Financial Corporations, Companies and nationalised or other banks. The Bill having been reserved for the assent of the President received such assent on 18th May, 1979.2. Section 3 of Act 17 of 1979 is the main provision in the Act. That enables recovery of certain dues as arrears of land revenue. The procedure for such recovery is prescribed in Sub-sections (1) and (2) of Section 3 and Sub-section (4) bars any suit fo...

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Nov-16-1984

Reported in: (1985)1GLR273

A.S. Qureshi, J.1. The petitioner herein challenges the order No. CLK-1182-3751-D, dated 23rd February 1984, whereby the petitioner was held to be not a handicapped person and hence he was considered not eligible to get the benefit available to the handicapped person in respect of passing the examination for a clerical job. The petitioner's case is that he is totally blind in one eye inasmuch as his left eye has corneal ulcer and therefore, he is not able to see anything with that eye. The eye-ball being practically white, he has been using what is known as Cosmetic Contact Lens to prevent the ugly look of the face.2. Mr. V.M. Dhotre for Mr. S.V. Raju, the learned Counsel for the petitioner has urged that the petitioner being blind in one eye, he should be considered as a handicapped person.

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Nov-16-1984

Reported in: (1985)1GLR130

N.H. Bhatt, J.1. The petitioner was an employee of the respondent. His services were abruptly terminated on 1st April 1981 and therefore he had raised an industrial dispute and the same was referred to the Labour Court. The Labour Court by its award dt. 14th July 1983 directed reinstatement in service to his original post without back wages within one month from the date of publication of the award. He was actually reinstated on 28th June 1984. Thus he has remained without wages from 1st April 1981 till 28th June 1984 even after the award of reinstatement dt. 14th July 1983. The material observations are given in para 4 of the award of the Lobour Court, which read as follows;Now, it is undisputed that the services of this workman were terminated by the management. No inquiry was held against him and he was not given opportunity to defend himself. This termination is contrary to the provisions of the I.D.
