Sanna Basappa Vs. the Assistant Commissioner and Land Acquisition Offi ...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-14-2003

Reported in: 2003(2)KarLJ22

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. We have heard the learned Counsels on both sides. What is principally submitted by the appellant's learned Counsel in this case is that this was an acquisition that pertained to 4 acres of land in Koppal Town which was undertaken in the year 1989 and that the appellant has done what is expected of him by producing a sale deed of the year 1989 which was almost contemporaneous with the 4(1) Notification. Ex. P. 9 is in relation to a plot of land which was sold for Rs. 13,500/- but the plot measured only 30' x 40' and it works out to Rs. 11.25 per sq. ft. Mr. Rayaraddi's submission is that the law requires of the party asking for the enhancement to produce requisite evidence that could be a guide or a barometer to the Reference Court for purposes of fixing the market value. He was probably right when he points out that in a given situation there may not be many transactions that have taken place because there are two aspects, the first being that it should be a sale th...

ORDERH.N. Narayan, J.1. Heard Sri S.R. Hegde Hudlamane, learned Counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned judgment.2. The short question which falls for consideration in this revision is.--Whether the act of husband taking away his minor child without consent or knowledge of the mother, i.e., his wife, amounts to cruelty to the mother under Section 498A of the IPC?3. The learned Counsel for the petitioner has invited my attention to the judgment of the Division Bench of the Allahabad High Court in Vijay Kumar Sharma and Ors. v. State of Uttar Pradesh, 1991(1) Crimes 298 (All.). After considering this question, the Allahabad High Court held as follows.--'We are of the view that taking away the son of Smt. Savita Sharma by the petitioners in this case without information to Smt. Savita Sharma of the said fact amounts to cruelty inasmuch as by the said conduct of the petitioners it could be much possible that Smt. Savita Sharma could either be driven to commit suicide or it coul...
