Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Jan-18-1985

Reported in: AIR1986Guj49

P.S. Poti, C.J.1. We place on record our appreciation of the attitude of the Government in this case in co-operating with the Sardarnagar Municipality to extend the much needed relief to the residents of Chharanagar area. A litigation started in the interests of such residents by a petition by two of the residents addressed to this Court has achieved the result by reason of the Sardarnagar Municipality and the State Government adopting reasonable postures.2. When two persons belonging to the Chhara community living in Chharanagar on the outskirts of the Ahmedabad city wrote to us describing absence of underground drainage in Chharanagar area which is part of Sardarnagar Municipality an amenity extended to other areas of the Municipality, we took notice of it and by our order dated 18th October, 1984 directed the Sardarnagar Municipality, pending the return of the notice to the State, to make immediate arrangement by way of drainage of surface water in the Chharanagar area by any approp...

Ahmed Yusuf Katchi and ors. Vs. Additional Secretary to Government of ...

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Jan-18-1985

Reported in: 1986(9)ECC167; 1986(23)ELT396(Guj)

Bhat, J.1. These four petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution of India are filed for the release of four different detenus, who were detained under the provisions of the Conservation Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974. Though the four cases are distinct, they can be conveniently dealt with together because the background that resulted into their detention is one and common. The orders of detention are to be found at Annexure A in each of these petitions and the grounds at respective Annexure B. We say that the grounds of detention are almost the same because, as said by us above, the occasion for giving rise to the alleged satisfaction of the detaining authority is a single transaction, to which we shall advert immediately. It is alleged that on 10-2-1984, the son of detenu Ahmed Jelaila, who was the owner of a mechanised boat, styled as 'Al-Anwar' engaged the service of one Mr. T. D. Francis, a driver of the launch, against the promise to pay him...

Reported in: (1985)2GLR1106

A.S. Qureshi, J.1. The petitioner herein joined the service as Forest Guard on 13th August, 1974. According to him he was entitled to be promoted as Forester some time in 1975 when the person who was next to him in seniority was promoted from Forest Guard to Forester. The petitioner contends that he has been performing his duties to the best of his abilities and that there was nothing positive against him to deprive him of his promotion, in due course as Forester. The petitioner points out that on two occasions he had been communicated adverse remarks against him. The first communication is dated 31st March, 1981 relating to the service during the year 1970-80. The second communication is dated 16th July, 1983 pertaining to the service during the year 1982-83.
