ORDERChandrakantaraj Urs, J. 1. Petitioner is a resident of Tumkur and the owner of Bhagyalakshmi Motor Service. He claims that he is interested in ensuring that the first respondent-Regional Transport Officer satisfies himself as to the merits of the second-respondent the applicant for starting a driving school under the Indian Motor Vehicles Act and therefore, he has approached this Court for a direction that the first respondent may be restrained from granting the said driving school licence to the second respondent inter alia on the ground that he has placed sufficient material before the first respondent which would disentitle the second respondent from getting the necessary licence to start a driving school.2.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Dec-06-1989

Reported in: [1992]197ITR694(KAR); [1992]197ITR694(Karn)

S. Rajendra Babu, J.1. The respondent in each of these cases is a Hindu undivided family and was assessed to tax by the first appellant by way of regular assessment including levy of interest under sections 139(8) and 215 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, against which appeals were filed. When the said appeals were pending, the assessments came to be reopened by issue of a notice under section 148 and reassessments we also made subsequently. While completing the reassessment, the Income-tax Officer levied interest under section 139(8) and interest under section 215 of the Act. Again, each of these orders was the subject-matter of appeals before the second of appellant against levy of interest under section 139(8) and section 215 of the Act was challenged in that appeal. The second appellant held that the appeal against such levy is not maintainable at all on the facts and circumstances of the case and refused to interfere with the said levy. Against that order, the respondent filed a writ p...

Reported in: 1990CriLJ1175; I(1990)DMC552; ILR1990KAR967; 1990(3)KarLJ531

ORDER1. In these two writ petitions under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution, the petitioners have sought for quashing the ex parte orders of interim maintenance passed by the Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Bangalore. The petitioners have not yet filed their objections and sought for re-consideration of the ex parte orders of interim maintenance granted in the petitions for maintenance filed under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. 2. The contention of the petitioners is that neither Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short 'Cr.P.C.') contains any provision enabling the Court to pass an ex parte order of interim maintenance nor there is any other provision in the Cr.P.C, to reconsider the order of maintenance once passed whether interim or final; that the jurisdiction exercised by the Family Court is the one exercisable by the Court of Judicial Magistrate I Class under Section 125 of the Cr.P.C.; therefore, the restrictions and the limitation...

Mirza Habib Aga Vs. Karnataka Board of Wakfs and Others

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Dec-05-1989

Reported in: AIR1990Kant299; ILR1990KAR1702; 1990(1)KarLJ109

ORDER1. Petitioner is one Mirza Habib Aga, who admittedly is the son of 2nd respondent Mrs. Malak Sultana. Petitioner is aggrieved by the order as at Annexure-J passed by the first respondent Karnataka Wakf Board. The order is dated 24-4:1989. He has therefore prayed in this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution for a Writ of Certiorari quashing the order at Annexure-J as well as an earlier order at Annexure-G.2. At this stage itself I may mention the prayers are in contradiction with each other. If Annexure-G is quashed, then there was no need for the proceedings resulting in Annexure-J. This fact should be borne in mind while disposing of the case of the petitioner.3. The facts may be stated briefly and which are not in dispute are as follows :--By an application dated 12-12-1980 the 2nd respondent Mrs. Malak Sultana moved the first respondent Wakf Board to treat property bearing No. 5 (Old No. 1), Kingston Road, Richmond Town, Bangalore, as wakf property belonging to A...


Dec 04 1989

State of Karnataka Vs. Mohammed Jaffer

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Dec-04-1989

Reported in: 1991CriLJ777; ILR1990KAR597; 1990(3)KarLJ504

Hiremath, J.1. Heard. 2. The accused has been sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 6 months and to pay a fine of Rs. 1,500/- with default sentence. The conviction is for the offences u/Ss. 279, 337, 338 and 304A I.P.C. As far as the prayer for enhancement is concerned we do not find any grounds for enhancement. But the trial Court, we have to observe, ought to have passed separate sentence for each of the offences for which he was found guilty and it is stated that there were 2 other injured persons in respect of whom distinct offences u/S. 337 and 338 were alleged. 3. It has come to our notice that in many cases the trial Courts do not bear in mind that for each of the offences separate sentence has to be passed and this is one such instance. In spite of this infirmity as the accused will have served the sentence by the time this appeal comes to be disposed of no useful purpose would be served by technically apportioning the sentence. The trial Courts, however, shall understa...
