Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Aug-09-1996

Reported in: (1997)1GLR140

A.N. Divecha, J.1. In all these three petitions the petitioner is common. The subject-matter in all these three petitions is one parcel of land bearing Survey No. 69/1 admeasuring 3 acres 22 gunthas situated at village Nandelav in taluka and district Bharuch (the disputed land for convenience). It originally belonged to respondent No. 3 in Special Civil Application No. 624 of 1987 who is respondent No. 2 in the remaining two petitions. For the sake of convenience I shall refer to him in this judgment as the vendor and the petitioner as the vendee. These three petitions are inter-related in the sense that the order of 1st February 1985 is challenged in Special Civil Application No. 624 of 1987 and consequential orders pursuant thereto are challenged in the other two petitions. Common questions of fact and law are found arising in all these three petitions. I have, therefore, thought it fit to dispose of all these three petitions by this common judgment of mine.2. The facts giving rise t...

Reported in: (1996)3GLR842

A.N. Divecha, J.1. Can a subordinate Court be permitted to read a judgment of its superior Court differently and in a twisted manner so as to assign a meaning altogether different from its apparent meaning on the face of it? Will such attempt on the part of such subordinate Court not amount to destruction of judicial discipline and contempt of its superior Court? These questions come to the forefront in the context of the challenge to the order passed by the Appellate Bench of the Small Causes Court on 24th February 1994 below the application at Exh. 68 in Regular Civil Appeal No. 379 of 1976 in this revisional application under Section 29(2) of the Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 ('the Act' for brief) read with Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. By the impugned order, the learned Judges of the Appellate Bench of the Small Causes Court directed both the parties to argue the entire appeal on all grounds after ordering the application to be de...

N.J. Pandya, J. 1. On earlier occasion when the matter was heard, it was pointed out that the respondent-Company is under liquidation. This prompted the appellant to request for joining for Official Liquidator as a party. This request was granted on 18-3-1996. In response to the notice issued to the Official Liquidator, we have got an endorsement to the effect that the Company is not under liquidation. Obviously, therefore, there is no question of making him a party. Hence, the name of the Official Liquidator as a party-respondent is deleted. 2.
