J.N Bhatt, J.1. Whether the impugned order of the respondent authority under the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act, 1976 (U.L.C. Act) declaring 1,751 sq. mtrs. of land as surplus land is tainted with or suffering from the vice of non-observance of the principles of natural justice is the main issue which has come to the surface in this petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India.2. The petitioner had filled in Form No. 1 under Section 6(1) of the U.L.C. Act in respect of the holdings before the Competent Officer and Deputy Collector, Urban Land Ceiling, Ahmedabad who upon inquiry held by order dated 25-3-1988 that 1,751 sq. mtrs. of land was surplus land.

The Counsel for the petitioner contended that the Talati-cum-Secretaries who are sent for the aforesaid training are paid stipend of Rs. 150/- p.m. and Miscellaneous expenses of Rs. 20/- p.m. during the period of training and not the salary. This writ petition has been filed by the Union and the person who has been sent for training has not made any grievance before this Court.

Decided on: Jul-18-1996

Reported in: (1997)1GLR508

R.K. Abichandani, J.1. The petitioners have challenged the common judgment and order dated March 28, 1994 passed by the Gujarat Primary Education Tribunal in application Nos. 72, 73, 74, 75 and 107 of 1992 by which the Tribunal declared that the termination of 'the services of these respondents-teachers from 30-11-1989 by the petitioner-school management was illegal and that they were entitled to be reinstated in service with all consequential benefits.2. The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners in this group of petitions contended that the provisions of Section 40B(1) of the Bombay Primary Education Act, 1947 were attracted in the instant case because the termination of service of the respondents-teachers in this group of petitions was not by way of any penalty. It was argued that Sub-section (3) of Section 40B of the Act indicated that the words 'otherwise terminated' occurring in Section 40B(1)(a) had a reference to a penal termination only and termination simpliciter was n...

J.N. Bhatt, J.1. Interestingly, the interpretation and applicability of the provisions of law relating to review analogous to Order 47 Rules 1 and 5 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908, (Code) are the main questions which are raised. In short, whether a successor in office is competent to review the judgment, order or decision is the sole, but substantial issue which has surfaced in these two petitions. Since both the petitions raise important but identical question, they are being disposed of by this common judgment.2.
