Chitra Publicity Co. Vs. Municipal Corporation of the City of Ahmedaba ...

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Jan-15-1986

Reported in: (1986)2GLR1049

A.P. Ravani, J.1. Having been forced to get out unceremoniously from one gate (Special Civil Application in High Court), the appellant herein, a firm dealing in publicity business, has knocked another gate (Civil Suit in City Civil Court) and shorn of technical niceties, in substance, it prays 'whether the defendant-Corporation is willing or not permit me to be its guest', that is to say, permit to perform the alleged contract. It appears that the defendant-Corporation would probably be not unhappy if the Court grants permission but of its own it does not seem to be willing to take this decision. In this situation should the Court help the plaintiff?2. The appellant-original plaintiff filed suit being Civil Suit No. 2371 of 1985 in the City Civil Court, Ahmedabad, inter alia, praying that Resolution dated June 29, 1984, passed by the Municipal Corporation be declared illegal and void.

Rana, a registered partnership firm, residing at Sankheda, District Baroda, preferred Civil Revision Application No. 902 of 1984 in this Court, challenging the order passed by the learned Civil Judge (J.D.), Sankheda, below Exh. 60 in Regular Civil Suit No. 271 of 1982, Exh. 60 in Regular Civil Suit No. 271 of 1982 appears to be an application filed by the contemner to amend his reply, Exh. 32, which was given with reference to application, Exh. 13. The trial Court was of the view that the reply, Exh. 32, was given after the stage of filing the reply.

Hence, the application, Exh. 60, dt. 30-4-1984, for the amendment of the reply, Exh. 32, was dismissed. Having been aggrieved by the aforesaid order, rejec...

Mehta, J.1.This group of revision applications by the State is directed against the order regarding court fees payable by an indigent person in a motor accident case. All these revision applications involve a common question and they are directed against a common judgment. 2. The question is what is the amount of court fees payable by an indigent person when he partly succeeded in a motor accident claim case. Is the court fee payable one-half of the ad valorem court fees payable on the amount claimed? Or is the court fee payable only on the amount awarded, when the former one is higher than the latter? 3. In each of these cases, the amount claimed was between 20 and 50 thousand rupees and the amount awarded is between Rs. 2,700 and Rs. 11,950. Each of the indigent claimants has now paid full court fees on the awarded amount. However, that amount is less than the amount of one-half of the court fees payable on the original claim. Therefore, according to the Inspecting Officer of Court F...

Ravani, J. 1. This appeal is filed by an injured workman, who as a result of the decision given by the learned Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation has become an employee without there being an employer. Such is the astounding result brought about by the learned Commissioner by taking hyper-technical view and by following the strict principles of rules of pleadings and Evidence Act which arc not applicable to the cases under Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923.2. The learned Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation, Bharuch, (the learned Civil Judge, Senior Division, who is exofficio Commissioner) has rejected the application of the injured workman for compensation solely on the ground that there was no sufficient proof to show that the workman was employed either by respondent No. 1 truck owner or respondent No. 3 quarry owner. On January 6, 1983 when the workman was engaged in lifting the stones from the quarry belonging to respondent No. 3 and filling the stones in the truck belongin...

A.P. Ravani, J.1. The guidelines are for the purposes of guidance and to smoothen the way in implementing the relevant statutory provisions. The guidelines cannot be read so as to create confusion and obstacles.

Now the facts in brief.The petitioner belongs to Chamar caste community which is recognised as a Scheduled Caste (SC) in relation to the State of Gujarat as in relation to the State of Rajasthan.
