Madan Lal Punga Vs. State of H.P. and anr.
Court: Himachal Pradesh
Decided on: Oct-17-1984
Reported in: AIR1985HP64
ORDERP.D. Desai, J.1. The petitioner was elected as a member of the Municipal Committee, Chamba in 1967. One Miss Padma Vati, daughter of Mr. Amar Nath, submitted an application to the competent authority for the grant of eligibility certificate in 1968. A representation was made in the said application that Miss Padma Vati had resided in Mohalla Kashmiri, Chamba for more than 3 years prior to the date of the application. The aforesaid averment made in the application was verified to be correct by the petitioner. On the basis of the said application, duly verified by the petitioner, Miss Padma Vati was granted eligibility certificate by the Executive Magistrate, Chamba on March 15, 1969.2. It appears that an enquiry came to be made subsequently into the circumstances leading to the grant of eligibility certificate to Miss Padma Vati during the course of which it transpired that she had passed the matriculation examination and the J.B.T. examination from Jullundur in 1967 and 1968 respe...
Pushpa Devi and ors. Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh
Court: Himachal Pradesh
Decided on: Oct-17-1984
Reported in: 2(1986)ACC162
P.D. Desai, J.1. Although the Court does not wish to express its opinion on the subject finally, the proceedings under the provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'), based, on tortious liability of the respondents, appear, prima facie, to be ill-conceived, because there may be no scope for a claim for compensation on that basis. The appellants may, however, have a justifiable claim for compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Compensation Act'). The difficulty, however is that proceedings under the Compensation Act have not been initiated and they may be time barred now. To ask the appellants, who are the destitute widow and minor children of the deceased employee of the State, to institute proceedings under the Compensation Act now, and to seek condonation of delay, would result in protracted litigation and prolong their hardship and misery. Under the circumstances, it appears to be just and prope...
Khem Chand Vs. Romesh Chand and ors.
Court: Himachal Pradesh
Decided on: Oct-16-1984
Reported in: AIR1985HP37
H.S. Thakur, J. 1. The only contention which has been raised by the learned counsel for the appellant in this appeal is that the courts below have gravely erred in holding that the suit was barred by limitation. 2. A few facts relevant to decide this point may be stated. One Shri Charan Dass obtained a decree from the Court of Sub-Judge, Hoshiarpur against one Shri Sohnu. Sohnu died about six years before the filing of thesuit and his widow Smt. Ralli succeeded him. Amin Chand another brother of Sohnu died about 31/2 years before the filing of the present suit. Amin Chand executed a will in favour of the plaintiff (who is the grand-nephew of Amin Chand) and got one-half share in the property in dispute. The defendants/respondents, who are the successors of Charan Dass decree-holder got the said property attached in execution of the decree. After the property was attached in execution of the said decree, objections were filed against the order of attachment, under Order 21 Rule 58 C.P.C...
