Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jul-10-1998

Reported in: 1999(3)KarLJ651

ORDERR.P. Sethi, C.J.1. The air we breathe, is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen with minor constituents like carbon dioxide and trap gases. Pollutants are substances which are not normally present in the air. Pollutants in the form of dust, smoke, industrial and automobile exhaust, gaseous and particulate matters, though not normally expected to be present, yet are found in the air. Nature and amount of such pollutants varies from place to place depending upon population, vehicular density and location of industrial units etc. Lungs are the major organs affected by the air pollution. The spectrum of functional and pathological reactions of the lungs to various exposures is wide. Chronic bronchitis and airways obstruction is the result of long term exposure to air pollution. Organic matters including dust can cause the allergic reactions producing allergic alveolitis. Inorganic dust may get deposited in the lungs and produce fibrosis. Exposure to dust may lower the lung defences and cle...

Smt. Vijaya Devi Vs. State of Karnataka and Others

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jul-10-1998

Reported in: 1998(5)KarLJ498

ORDER1. No orders are necessary on LA. No. I. since the ad interim stay was only for a period of 12 weeks from 10-11-1997 which period has since elapsed, the stay is therefore no longer in operation. As far as the main petition is concerned, I have heard the learned contesting Counsel on both sides principally because once the stay is vacated, the question would arise as to whether anything survives in the main petition and whether it should be kept pending. In this case, on hearing the petitioner's learned Advocate, I find that as far as the merits are concerned, that the Court has, as of necessity, to examine the case. Two points are raised, the first being that there is no claim made in respect of Sy. No. 200 and the second point is that the application for amendments increasing the area from 1.30 acres to 4.52 acres was made after the remand by the High Court long after 30-6-1979. Petitioner's learned Advocate submits that unless the Form 7 conforms to the requirements of law insof...

Gajanan Seshappa Hegde Vs. Venkatraman Sheshappa Hegde and Others

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jul-09-1998

Reported in: 1999(2)KarLJ462

ORDER1. This civil revision under Section 115 of the CPC arises from the order dated 2-7-1993 passed by learned Civil Judge, Sirsi, on I.A.VII taking the view that the document is not admissible in evidence in view of Section 49 of the Registration Act. Trial Court opined that the document is not registered and Section 49 prevents from its being admitted. The Court opined that no doubt partition may be oral, but if it is reduced in the form of a document effecting the division of properties and contains terms of bargain, it requires to be registered and once it was not registered, it was inadmissible. But it also held that it may be used for collateral purpose. Feeling aggrieved by that order, the defendants have come up before this Court under Section 115.2. A preliminary objection has been raised as to the maintainability of the revision on behalf of the respondents by Sri R.V. Jayaprakash. Learned Counsel contended that the order in question does not amount to a case decided. It may...

Narayana Rao Vs. State Bank of India, Humnabad Branch, Bidar District

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jul-09-1998

Reported in: 1999(2)KarLJ411

ORDER1. This revision application under Section 115 of the CPC arises from the judgment and order dated 4-8-1994 passed by the Hon'ble Civil Judge B. Kalyan in Execution Petition No. 8 of 1993 rejecting LA. I. filed by the judgment-debtor wherein he prayed for release of tractor on the ground that attachment was wrongly made. The Court rejected the application. While rejecting the application, the Trial Court held that executable decree was passed on 30-3-1988. No doubt preliminary decree has been passed on 7-1-1986 and final decree could only be passed on 30-3-1988. As such, the execution petition had been filed within two years from the date of decree and therefore under Rule 22 it was not necessary to issue a notice. It further held that the judgment-debtor had sufficient knowledge of issue of warrant of sale. The Court below also held that the tractor in question was attached from the custody of one Ramakrishna, Manager, Earth-movers Company in Bhalki Taluk and therefore it held th...
