S.K. Keshote, J.1. Sufferings of the petitioner, despite the fact that this Court on 29-1-1982 decided the earlier petition in her favour and order of dismissal from service has not only been quashed but also declared to be null and void and ineffective, still continues. How the respondents treat the decision of this Court is clearly exhibited in this litigation. Yet another aspect to be noted is how this Court is helpless to give a person, whose dismissal order has been held to be nullity by this Court on 21-9-1982, all the reliefs for twelve years. Here the system is to be blamed. Otherwise, this category of cases need to be dealt with forthwith.2. The petitioner who was employed by Kheda District Panchayat at Nadiad was dismissed from service vide order dated 11-8-1977 giving effect from 18-7-1975.

Reported in: (1998)3GLR1952

K.J. Vaidya, J.1. Whether the trial Court, after the receipt of complaint against the respondent-accused before it, right at the very threshold of its preliminary inquiry while trying to find out whether it was empowered to take cognizance of the alleged offence punishable under Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, (for short 'The Act') was justified, firstly in summarily dismissing the complaint on the alleged ground that the complainant was not duly authorised either by the State Government or the Central Government as for that purpose, the Collector cannot be said to be the 'State' as required under Section 12AA(1)(e) of the Act, and secondly, that too without giving fair and reasonable opportunity to the complainant to prove his due authorisation in said regard?

Rajesh Balia, J.1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. On 13th Aug., 1994 an order under s. 269UD (was passed) for purchase of property in question which was the subject matter of an agreement to sale between the petitioner and the vendors. The purchase price was fixed to be Rs. 52 lakhs. The entire purchase money was paid by the transferor to the transferees. Under the order itself it was directed by the Appropriate Authority to keep the aforesaid amount payable by Central Government in personal deposit account of Appropriate Authority until leasehold rights.2.
