Smt. S. Girija Vs. Kanara Transport Company, Mangalore and Another

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-05-1999

Reported in: II(2000)ACC203; 2000ACJ113; [1999(82)FLR756]; 1999(3)KarLJ151

ORDER1. The present revision petition arises from the order dated 31-10-1998 passed by the Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation, D.K., Sub-Division, Mangalore on I.A. No. Miscellaneous/CR-1/98 in No. WCA/CR-2/92-F. As per office report this CRP is misconceived as under Section 115 of the CPC, the revision lies from the order of the subordinate Civil Court. Section 3 of the CPC defines and provides what are the Courts subordinate for the purpose of the CPC and under the Code to High Court or District Court. The Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation does not come within the purview of the Court for the purpose of Code of Civil Procedure as it is not mentioned therein. Secondly, Workmen's Compensation Commissioner is not a Court i.e., Civil Court, it is only a Tribunal under the Act. My this view finds support from Section 23 of the Act itself. Section 23 of the Workmen's Compensation Act reads as under:'23. Power and procedure of Commissioners.--The Commissioner shall have all the p...

The plaintiff having not filed cross-objections, the decree has become final and this appeal itself is confined only to awarding of interest at 18% per annum. It is made clear by the order of this Court dated 27-9-1989. Therefore, the question is whether the plaintiff is entitled to interest at 18% per annum for the amount given by him for the construction of the shop.2. Plaintiff 1 is the son of plaintiff 2 and they wanted to do some business, and hence they were in need of a shop.

ORDERV.K. Singhal, J.1. The order passed by the Additional Collector of Central Excise dated 22-10-1992 have been assailed in this petition. Petitioner is a manufacturer of ITEOL-3. The dispute is with regard to the classification as to whether it falls under sub-heading 3301.00 or 3003.10. Show cause notice was issued to classify the item under sub-heading 3301.00 and the petitioner was asked to explain why the duty of 20% ad valorem be not levied.The item manufactured is an antiseptic and disinfectant. Learned Counsel for the petitioner has argued before me on two points.1. that the show cause notice was issued to treat the product as falling under Chapter 33 while the duty has been levied under Chapter 30 which is against the principles of natural justice;2. that the circular issued by the Central Board of Excise and Customs, dated 29-7-1992 is contrary to the provisions of Section 37B of the Central Excise Act.2.
