ORDER1. The appellants before us claiming to be the wife and children of one K. Shankar Rao, filed an application under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act for the issue of a succession certificate. A citation was issued to the mother of K. Shankar Rao. She entered appearance and questioned the status of the applicants as the legally wedded wife and children of K. Shankar Rao who died on 25.08.1996. Though some evidence was adduced on behalf of the applicants and on behalf of the mother, the Court dealing with the application felt that it was not in a position to finally decide the status of the applicants on which depended the right to the succession certificate and therefore found that he was not in a position to grant the succession certificate to the applicants. The application was thus, dismissed. The applicants filed an appeal before this Court. The learned Single Judge, on a consideration of the relevant aspects, felt that it was not proper to decide the question of the sta...

1. CWJC 3359 of 1992(R) was filed by the Management challenging the award of the Labour Court, Jamshedpur in Reference Case No. 9 of 1985. By that award, the Labour Court set aside the punishment of dismissal awarded to two workmen, K.K. Yadav and R.P. Singh and directed their reinstatement with full back wages from the date of their dismissal to the date of their reinstatement. According to the Management, the Labour Court had acted without jurisdiction in passing such an award since by an order dated 16:8.1990, it was found that the Domestic Enquiry conducted by the Management against the workmen was valid and proper and what remained to be decided in terms of Section 11(A) of the Industrial Disputes Act was the question whether the punishment was disproportionate to the charges proved. But, what the Labour Court did was to reconsider the evidence taken at the Domestic Enquiry and to record a finding that the charges against the workmen were not proved by the Management, in disagreem...

ORDERP.K. Balasubramanyan, C.J.1. Heard counsel for the petitioner and Dr. Laik, learned counsel appearing for the respondents.2. This revision under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure is seen to be one challenging an order on an application for amendment of the written statement passed by the Trial Court. Dr. Laik rightly raised the objection that the revision is not entertainable under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure in view of the amendment brought to that provision with effect from 1.7.2002.3. Learned counsel for the petitioner then submitted that this Court has undoubtedly jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India to scrutinize the proceedings of the Trial Court and the matter can be considered in exercise of that jurisdiction.4.
