Muniswamappa @ Kakanna Vs. the Land Tribunal, Bangalore South Taluk an ...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Apr-06-1999

Reported in: ILR1999KAR2347; 1999(3)KarLJ613

ORDER1. In the course of the hearing of this writ petition, an interesting aspect of law relating to the substitution of a deceased litigant by the legal representative has arisen for determination. The brief facts are necessary for purpose of illustrating the points. Deceased Kakanna, the original applicant had filed an application before the Land Tribunal claiming occupancy rights and the Tribunal dismissed the application holding that Kakanna's claim was unjustified and that consequently, there was no relationship of landlord and tenant between the parties. Kakanna filed a writ petition before this Court assailing the correctness of that order and the case was transferred to the Appellate Authority which had then been set up by virtue of the requirement that all pending proceedings at that time must be transferred to the Appellate Authority for decision. At that stage, one Krishna Reddy appeared before the Appellate Authority on the basis of a power of attorney executed in his favou...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Apr-06-1999

Reported in: ILR1999KAR2930; 1999(4)KarLJ695

ORDER1. Petition arises from the judgment and order dated 18-12-1997, whereby the Court has directed the plaintiff to pay the Court fee on Rs. 20 lakhs, the market value of the suit property and to file separate valuation slip within a month.2. The Court below after considering the matter, opined that the relief claimed in the plaint to the effect that decree for declaration be granted in favour of the plaintiff, declaring plaintiff's title to the suit property as well as for the relief of recovery of possession of the property from the defendant squarely falls under Section 24-A of the Karnataka Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act and plaintiff has to pay the Court fee, according to the market value of the property. If further found that the value of the suit property is about 20 lakhs.3. The petitioner's Counsel, Sri K.M. Chandra Prasad submitted that the value of the property is a question of fact to be determined on evidence and, so the question of payment of Court fee as well as th...

Laxminarayanan Vs. Dr. Vinod and Another

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Apr-06-1999

Reported in: 1999(5)KarLJ25

ORDER1. This revision is directed against the order dated 21-1-1998 whereby the First Appellate Court while admitting the appeal, granted stay order as prayed in I.A. II filed before it.2. I put the basic question to the learned Counsel for the revision petitioner how revision is maintainable from this order as stay order does not amount to a case decided. The learned Counsel for the revision petitioner emphatically tried to argue that order is revisable.3. On behalf of the respondent, my attention has been invited to a decision of this Court in the case of Katari Thippanna v S. Hastimul and Another, this Court has very clearly held that an order granting stay or vacating stay does not amount to a case decided.4. As such, in my opinion, as the order impugned does not amount to a case decided, the revision is misconceived. No doubt, it was open to the applicant at that time to have filed an application for vacation of stay order. Anyway, revision petition being misconceived, it is dismi...

ORDER1. Heard the arguments of learned Counsel Jagannath Shetty for respondent 3. The advantage of the argument of learned Counsel for the other side could not be had as they were not present when the matter was taken up for hearing and disposal.2.
