ORDERM.F. Saldanha, J.1. We have heard the petitioners learned counsel as well as the learned Government Advocate on merits. The learned Government Advocate to file his memo of appearance within two weeks.2. We do not propose to deal with either the facts or the merits of the case because of the fact that after hearing the learned Advocates on both sides, we are of the view that it is necessary to remand the proceedings to the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal for the reasons set out. We need to clarify that at the admission stage itself, this petition was heard for some time by the earlier Bench. Pursuant to the change of assignment, the present Bench has reheard the learned Advocates on both sides once again on merits. Since this petition was only for admission, the rule of this case being part heard, does not strictly apply. In any case, no prejudice has been caused to either of the parties.3. The two-fold reasons canvassed before us was to the effect that in the first instance, since th...

Reported in: AIR2001Kant300

Hari Nath Tilhari, J.1. The applicant had filed a petition under Section 13(1)(i-a) of the Hindu Marriage Act, seeking for a decree of divorce by dissolving his marriage with the respondent. The trial Court i.e., the Family Court, after considering the matter in detail, held that the petitioner, before it, failed to prove that the respondent, after solemnization of the marriage, treated him with carely and it further observed that in view of the said findings, petitioner is not entitled for the relief claimed and dismissed the petition with this finding vide judgment and Order dated 7-10-1999. Hence, the husband-petitioner filed an appeal under Section 19 of the Family Courts Act, 1984.2. During the pendency of the appeal, it appears, on some mistaken advise, a joint petition under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act was filed as a miscellaneous application in Miscellaneous First Appeal No. 5073/1999. This appeal was filed on 8-3-2000. This application LA. IV along with the appeal ha...

T.N. Vallinayagam, J.1. The appellant Corporation questions the quantum of compensation granted raising only one ground in the memorandum of grounds.2. Though there is objection by the learned counsel for the respondent that there is no ground at all, therefore, the appeal has to be dismissed in limine in the absence of any grounds, I disagree with him. Ground Nos. 4 and 5 which are extracted below are the two grounds made out in the appeal.(4) The judgment and award of the court below is contrary to law and facts of the case.(5) That the Claims Tribunal has erred in awarding Rs. 90,720 under the head loss of earnings by wrongly applying the multiplier method to a case of injuries and on the notional assumption of income of the respondent at Rs. 1,200 per month even though he was a student and aged 10 years at the time of the accident.3. It is the settled law that the entire argument need not be made as grounds of the appeal and it is enough that the judgment and award is contrary to l...
