Veerabhadraiah Vs. Muddamma

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Mar-18-1974

Reported in: ILR1974KAR794; 1974(2)KarLJ187

1. I have heard Sri P. Krishnappa, learned counsel appearing for the appellant in support of the admission of the appeal. The learned counsel submitted that the judgment of the Prl. Civil Judge at Tumkur passed in R. A. 59 of 1971 is not a judgment in accordance with law, inasmuch as it does not conform with Order 41, Rule 31, C. P. C. It was urged that though no arguments were advanced on behalf of the appellant in the lower appellate Court, the Court was bound to look into the grounds of appeal, and to record a judgment. The judgment of the Court below is a brief one and reads as follows: 'HSRS states that the matter may be taken as heard and that the Court may proceed to judgment on perusing the grounds of appeal. Perused the grounds of appeal and from the submission made, it is patently clear that the appellant has no arguments to advance in support of the grounds urged in the appeal. Hence in my view no grounds are substantiated and there is no merit in the appeal. Hence appeal di...

Venkataswami, J.1. This appeal by the Commissioner of Income-tax has come up before us on a reference by a learned single judge of this court and is directed against a judgment of the Civil Judge, Civil Station, Bangalore, in R.A. No. 80/1970. That appeal had been preferred by the plaintiff-1st respondent against the judgment and decree of the principal munsiff, civil station, Bangalore, in O.S. No. 326 of 1968. 2. The facts relevant may be set out at some length and are as followed : 3.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Mar-14-1974

Reported in: AIR1975Kant101; ILR1974KAR814; 1974(2)KarLJ164

ORDER1. Plaintiff in O. S. No. 511 of 1965 on the file of the Munsiff, Sagar, has filed this revision petition against the order dated 18-7-1973 passed on I. A. No. 3 in O. S. No. 511 of 1965.2. By I. A. No. 3, the plaintiff requested the Court to grant him permission to withdraw the suit with liberty to file a fresh suit on the same cause of action. The learned Munsiff, after hearing both the sides ordered that the plaintiff is allowed to withdraw the suit, but the permission to file fresh suit on the same cause of action was not granted. This order is challenged in this revision petition.3. Shri Cheluvaraja, learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioner urged that the application I. A. No. 3 filed by the petitioner-plaintiff was under Order 23, Sub-rule (2) of Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure and, therefore, the learned Munsiff ought not to have treated it as an application under Sub-rule (1) itself and split up the prayer of the petitioner-plaintiff and granted one par...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Mar-13-1974

Reported in: AIR1975Kant82; ILR1974KAR809

ORDER1. A common question of law arises in all these twenty-two revision petitions.2. These revision petitions are filed against rejection of plaints in different suits filed by the petitioners in the Court of the Munsiff, Hassan.3. The petitioner-plaintiffs filed those suits contending that the disciplinary enquiries proposed to be held by the Divisional Controller, Hassan, were beyond the powers of the said Divisional Controller and hence, he could not, in law, proceed to hold disciplinary enquiries against them and pass orders of dismissal or such other orders and, therefore, the Court should declare that the action that was taken and further proposed to be taken by the Divisional Controller, was beyond his powers and issue an injunction restraining him from proceeding further into the proposed departmental enquiries against the petitioner-plaintiffs.4. It was contended on behalf of the Divisional Controller that the Civil Court had no jurisdiction as the matter was governed by the ...
