1. An employee died on 3-11-1981, according to the appellant due to an employment injury. Admittedly, he is covered by the benefits of the provisions of the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948 hereinafter referred to as the E.S.I. Act. Invoking Section 52 thereof the appellants claimed the benefit due to them. This application no doubt was made on 10-1-1994 with an application to condone the delay in doing so belatedly. It was the turn of the E.S.I. Corporation to contend that the claim is belated. The E.S.I. Court accepted the defence and therefore rejected the same as belated. The appellant moved the High Court by filing M.F.A. No. 2735 of 1994 and this Court condoned the delay and directed the Court to re-entertain the claim and pass appropriate orders on merits of the case. The E.S.I. Court has now held that the death of the worker was not due to any 'employment injury' and as such the legal heirs are not entitled to any benefit.2. The alleged employment injury which is the cause ...

1. This is a plaintiff's appeal from the judgment and decree dated 15-2-1997 passed by the II Additional Civil Judge, Mysore, in O.S. No. 155 of 1992, whereby the Trial Court has decreed the plaintiffs claim against defendants 1 and 2 for a sum of Rs. 2,15,060.45 being the amount due in respect of two loans borrowed by the first defendant on 12-5-1989 along with interest at the rate of 17.05% p.a. from the date of suit till realisation. 2. The Trial Court dismissed the plaintiffs claim and the suit against defendant 3 i.e., respondent 3 herein, who was the surety/guarantor. 3. There appears no need to go into the facts of the case in detail as the decree passed in favour of the plaintiff against defendants 1 and 2 has not been challenged. It is intact. The only dispute in this appeal is whether the Trial Court erroneously and illegally dismissed the claim against defendant 3 (respondent 3 herein) who was a guarantor i.e., surety.

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. This appeal raises certain interesting and important issues touching the aspects of identification as also with regard to the manner of proof that is required in respect of documents that are tendered in evidence in a criminal proceeding. The two appellants before us, who were the original accused 1 and 2 in S.C. No. 134 of 1993 before the learned Sessions Judge, Bangalore were alleged to have kidnapped a four year old boy by the name of Zeesban, son of P.W. 10-Syed Zakir Hussain, a resident of Azad Nagar at Bangalore. The allegation is to the effect that some time in the morning of 29-1-1993, the accused 1 was seen playing with Zeeshan. It is necessary for us to record that A-1 and A-2 are brothers and they are neighbours of the deceased, staying virtually next door. The prosecution alleges that Zeeshan was found missing on the afternoon of 29-1-1993 and that a detailed search was undertaken to trace him out, which proved futile. A missing complaint was lodged by h...
