Yeast Alco Enzymes Limited Vs. State of Gujarat and ors.

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Aug-17-1989

Reported in: (1990)1GLR362

S.B. Majumdar, J.1. This letters patent appeal under clause XV of the Letter Patent is directed against the decision of V. V. Bedarkar, J., in Special Civil Application No. 959 of 1983. The learned single Judge partly allowed the Special Civil Application in favour of the present appellants who are the original petitioners. The appellants feeling aggrieved by that part of the judgment of the learned Judge by which their claim for being awarded pioneer unit benefits under the Government resolution dated 27th August, 1980, at annexure B to the petition, has been rejected, have moved the present appeal. The respondent-authorities have not filed any cross-appeal and have acquiesced in the decision of the learned single Judge allowing the writ petition partly and in granting some of the benefits to the appellants under the very same resolution. As the appellants are the original petitioners and the respondents are the original respondents in the writ petition, for the sake of convenience, w...

State of Gujarat Vs. Sypoi Alambhai Jamalbhai

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Aug-17-1989

Reported in: (1990)1GLR122

K.J. Vaidya, J.1. This appeal presents a very peculiar and paradoxical picture wherein though on one hand this Court anhesitatingly has reached a conclusion that the impugned judgment and order of acquittal per se is a case of 'Rushed-up acquittal' and hence being patently unjudicial and illegal, deserves an obvious order of remand, and yet on the other hand having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case enlisted hereunder, at this stage, this Court has a feeling that it would not be expedient in the larger interest of justice to remand the case as the same will be more of a prosecution rather than the prosecution of the accused. However, but for the only plus point in this appeal viz., that it has provided an opportunity to express a word or two of advice to the erring trial Court and so defaulting other Courts to conduct and manage themselves with some sense of responsibility while trying criminal cases, whole exercise of hearing this appeal and delivering the judgment woul...

V.V. Bhramkshtriya and ors. Vs. State of Gujarat and anr.

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Aug-14-1989

Reported in: (1990)1GLR256

R.C. Mankad, J.1. This group of petitions, though it involves conflict of interest between direct recruits and promotes, does not raise the usual controversy of inter se seniority between them. The main dispute here centres around the Rule fixing the quota of direct recruits and promotees, and the contention of the rival groups is that this Rules has been violated. The stand of the State Government, however, is that it has adhered to the quota rule, and no appointments have been made in branch thereof.2. In order to appreciate the rival contentions, it is necessary to refer to the facts and the background in which, the question regarding fulfilment of quota Rule has arisen before me. The Rules called Executive Engineers ('XEN' for short) (Civil) Gujarat Service of Engineers Class-I Recruitment Rules, 1979 ('GSE Class-I Rules' for short) and Deputy Engineers ('DEN' for short) (Civil) Gujarat Service of Engineers Class-II Recruitment Rules, 1979 ('GSE Class-II Rules' for short) were made...

K.J. Vaidya, J. 1. The controversy in this acquittal appeal is -- who is responsible for acquittal of two accused? The prosecution Agency for 'want of prosecution' as held by the trial Court?
