ORDERSaldanha, J.1. The petitioner in this case had been awarded a contract for a Bus Stand Hotel at Upppinangadi in June 1994 pursuant to an auction held by the Gram Panchayat under whose jurisdiction the Bus Stand comes. She had entered into an Agreement to run the hotel for this period of time on certain terms and conditions which we are not immediately concerned with.

Jaishri Vs. Maruthi

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jul-13-1995

Reported in: ILR1995KAR3100; 1995(4)KarLJ638

Saldanha, J. 1. These two Appeals are directed against a decree passed by the learned Civil Judge, Basavakalyan, in Suit No. 92/93. R.F.A.No. 254/95 has been filed by the defendants to that suit and the principal contention canvassed is that the decision is almost on par with an expert decree and that therefore, having regard to the fact that the defendants had seriously contested the proceeding initially, as is apparent from the written statement filed, that they be given a fresh opportunity to contest the matter. Mr. Desai on behalf of the appellants in RFA 254/95 advanced a strong plea to the Court that this is a case in which a large number of properties belonging to the family are sought to be partitioned at the instance of the plaintiff who is the widow of one of the sons by the name of Sharanappa. It is necessary for me, for purposes of this Judgment, to refer to one particular aspect of the case which assumes some importance. Initially, the defence pleaded was the usual one of ...

ORDER1. In this writ petition, the petitioners seek direction to the respondents 'to give clearance for the transplant operation of the 1st petitioner by transplanting one kidney of the 2nd petitioner in the Karnataka Nephrology and Transplant Institute.'2, It appears that an application was presented to the 'Authorization Committee' constituted under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1994 (Act for short).

Other near relatives were not being considered as donors by the family (paternal uncle, wife, etc.)3. Section 9 of the Act reads as hereunder:--'9. Restrictions on removal and transplantation of human organs:--(1) Save as otherwise provided in subsection (3), no human organ removed from the body of a donor before his death shall be transplanted into a recipient unless the donor is a near relative of the r...

The second appellant claims to be manufacturing and selling the said Hardness Tester for several years. The second respondent is stated to be an employee with the second appellant and had access to the confidential information in relation to the said Hardness Tester.

Binny Limited Vs. Industrial Tribunal and ors.

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jul-12-1995

Reported in: (1996)IILLJ539Kant

S.A. Hakeem, Actg. C.J.1. The main contention of Sri Kasturi, learned counsel for the appellant, is that the learned single judge ought to have taken into consideration the object and reasons impelling Parliament in amending Section 25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which had earlier been held ultra vires by some of the courts. Merely because the Supreme Court has upheld the validity of the Section subsequently in another proceeding it cannot invalidate the action which was proper at the time it was taken by the management. Reliance is sought to be placed upon certain observations of the Supreme Court in State of Tamil Nadu v. Nellai Cotton Mills Ltd., (1991-I-LLJ-35). The learned judge in our opinion has rightly relied upon the ruling of the Constitution Bench in Workmen of Meenakshi Mills Ltd v. Meenakshi Mills Ltd., (1992-II-LLJ-294), in which the constitutional validity of Section 25N of the Act has been upheld.We are not persuaded to take a view different from what the lea...
