Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Mar-27-2000

Reported in: (2001)GLR124

H.K. Rathod, J.1. Laws though in themselves never so wise and pious are but a dead letter and of little force except there be a due and impartial execution of them.2. The weaker sections of Indian Humanity have been deprived of justice for long years, they have had no access to justice on account of their poverty, ignorance and illiteracy. They are not aware of the rights and benefits conferred upon them by the Constitution and the law. On account of their socially and economically disadvantaged position, they lack the capacity to assert their rights and they do not have the material resources with which to enforce their social and economic entitlements and combat exploitation and injustice.3. The concern shown by the law to the poor and disadvantaged is much greater than that shown to the rich and the well to do because the latter can on account of their dominant social and economic position and large material resources, resist aggression on their rights whereas the poor and the depri...

S.K. Keshote, J.1. This revision application is directed by the defendant-petitioner against the order of the Civil Judge, Una dated 24-6-1999 in Regular Civil Suit No. 89 of 1996 below Exh. 148.2. It is really shocking and surprising that the members of the Bar in the Court have little care of the matters which are to be presented. Not only this even they do not bother to read the papers, before same are to be presented in the Court. It is a duty of the members of the Bar to present each and every paper after they themselves read it, so that there may be any chance of errors, omissions and mistakes. Sometimes, very glaring mistakes are being noticed in the Memo of the revisions, appeals and applications etc. This is a case where I find glaring mistake in the memo of revision application. The order is dated 24-6-1999 which is impugned in this revision application is passed in favour of the plaintiff-respondent No. 1. The application filed by the plaintiff-respondent No. 1 for change of...
