Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-20-1996

Reported in: ILR1996KAR2916; 1996(3)KarLJ585

ORDERM.F. Saldanha, J.1. This petition is the companion petition to C.R.P.NO. 2934/1993, See Editorial Note Supra which has been disposed of by the Court today. The plaintiffs who are the respondents to this petition had instituted a suit in the Court of the Munsiff at Hubli against the K.E.B. who are the petitioners before me praying for certain reliefs which essentially centered around a challenge to the action on the part of the K.E.B. in having disconnected the power supply to the plaintiffs rice mill. Whereas the K.E.B. contended that there were allegations of theft of electric power aggregating to over Rs. 6 lakhs against the plaintiffs 'unit, the defendants' contended that the allegations were unjustified and groundless. Basically, they pleaded before the Court that no notice was served on them, that this was a flagrant breach of the rules of natural justice and that therefore the power should be reconnected. The Trial Court granted this relief which came to be confirmed by the ...

K. Lakshmipathy Vs. Channaiah

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-20-1996

Reported in: ILR1996KAR3351; 1996(6)KarLJ266

ORDERM.F. Saldanha, J.1. Heard learned Advocates. This is a revision directed against a judgment of the Court of Small Causes in a suit for recovery of money. The plaintiff who is the respondent before me is a money lender and he had advanced to the present petitioner who was the original defendant a sum of Rs. 6,000/- on 31.5.86. It is unnecessary for me to deal with the controversy relating to whether the loan was repaid or not because the defendant contended that he had given certain post dated cheques from time to time to the plaintiff and that these have been encashed by him whereas the plaintiff denied these apart from one for which the learned Judge has given credit. There is a dear finding against the defendant to the effect that no other amount of the loan was repaid. The suit was therefore decreed for Rs. 8113/- with costs, interest etc.2. The petitioner's learned Advocate has advanced certain submissions which essentially boil down to only one aspect namely that the conclusi...

The petitioner had preferred the above C.R.P. for challenging the Judgment and Decree date 29.2.92 in S.C.No. 3681/90 passed by the Court of Small Causes (SCCH 11) Bangalore, whereby the suit for recovery of Rs. 9,000/- together with costs and interest was dismissed.2. The matter has come up for final hearing. I have heard the Counsel for the petitioner as well as the Counsel for the respondent. I have also gone through the decisions cited before me in support of the rival contentions put forth.3.

It is on that point of law alone, the Court below had dismissed the suit of the petitioner.4. The brief facts of the case are that the respondent - company purch...
