Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Nov-28-1994

Reported in: ILR1995KAR1332; 1995(5)KarLJ96

ORDERHari Nath Tilhari, J1. This application is under Section 5 of the Limitation Act. The office has reported that the Appeal is barred by time by 16 days. The suit has been dismissed by the trial Court by judgment and decree dated 28.3.1994. It appears that the application for copy of the judgment and decree had been moved on July 12, 1994. The office report prima facie is correct that the Appeal is barred by 16 days. I am surprised to find that in the Memo of Appeal it has been written 'this appeal has been filed within time' under the signature of the Counsel for the appellant. In the application for condonation of delay, it has been again stated in para '3 'I submit that I have filed the R.F.A. in time.' According to him, there is no delay in approaching this Court. However, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court be pleased to condone the delay, if any, in preferring this RFA, and that he has got an excellent case on merits, and according to the deponent, the order passed by the Cou...

K.S.R.T.C. Vs. John D'souza

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Nov-25-1994

Reported in: ILR1995KAR405; 1995(2)KarLJ305

ORDER1. This petition raises an interesting question of law concerning Section 11(a) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The subsidiary point that has been raised which also falls for determination is the question as to whether in a case where the High Court finds that the Tribunal has gone legally wrong, whether it is incumbent upon the High Court to remand the matter to the Tribunal for a fresh decision. An elaborate narration of the facts is not very necessary because the issues basically concern points of law. The petition before me has been presented by the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation and it assails an award dated December 7, 1993 passed by the presiding Officer' Labour Court Bangalore in relation to the case of dismissed Conductor, who is the respondent to this proceeding. On December 14, 1986 the respondent was the conductor of Bus No. MYF 919 plying between Cannanore and Bangalore. It is alleged that this vehicle came to be checked by the Vigilance Staff of the Corpo...
