D. Biswas, J.1. This letter patent appeal is directed against the Judgment and Order dated 10.01.2001 passed by the learned Single Judge in MA(F) No. 177/03. By the impugned judgment, the learned Single Judge allowed the appeal with the following directions:2. This appeal shall stand allowed in view of the fact that the vehicle in question was duly insured with respondent No. 2 and the learned Tribunal in MAC Case No. 1/85 apportioned the amount at the following rate:i) 58 thousand to the Insuranceii) 35 thousand to the owner.3. This cannot be done once a vehicle is insured the Insurance Company is liable for the entire amount.

T. Vaiphei, J.1. The common question of law involved in these two writ petitions is whether the selection of the petitioners for appointment to the posts of Assistant Grade-Ill under the Food Corporation of India, Regional Office, NEF Region, was by way of promotion or direct recruitment.2.

Chanambam Menjor Singh Vs. Comdt./C.O. 61 Crpf and ors.
Court: Guwahati
Decided on: Jun-01-2006
T. Nandkumar Singh, J.1. In the present case, the victim of dehumanizing assault and torture in the custody of protector of law in uniform, unfortunately, is a lawyer who fights and pleads law for the citizens of India for protection of their right and liberty guaranteed by and under the Constitution of India in the court of law. The instances of dehumanizing torture and assault in the custody of the guardian of law are ever increasing. Even a lawyer became the victim of torture and assault in the custody of law protector in uniform; it is unthinkable what would be the situation in the case of an ordinary citizen of India. The dehumanizing torture, assault and death in the custody which have assumed alarming proportion raise serious question about the credibility to the Rule of Law and administration of criminal systems. No doubt it is true that the cry for justice is so loud that it deafens ear of the peace loving citizens of India that they cannot live in a peaceful atmosphere and t...
