Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-14-2004

Reported in: ILR2004KAR1295; 2004(2)KarLJ388

K. Sreedhar Rao, J.1. These appeals are filed against the judgment and decree passed in R.A. Nos. 10 and 11 of 2000 on the file of the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Hassan arising out of the judgment and decree passed in O.S. Nos. 18 of 1993 and 232 of 1992 on the file of the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Sakaleshpur. Both the suits have been clubbed together. A common order has been passed. The appellant is the plaintiff in both the suits filed for declaration that the eviction order obtained in O.S. No. 18 of 1993 is null and void and not binding and further seek consequential relief of injunction not to execute the decree of eviction. Perhaps the relief in O.S. No. 18 of 1993 is the duplicated version of the relief in O.S. No. 232 of 1992. It appears from the records that the plaintiff was taking adjournments time and again to adduce evidence and 18 adjournments were taken to adduce evidence. Both the suits were clubbed together at the request of the plaintiff and finally posted f...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jan-12-2004

Reported in: 2004CriLJ2271; 2004(3)KarLJ448

1. Though this criminal appeal has been listed for orders on the ground that there is an office objection since it relates only to the filing of the certified copy, we have waived the objection and we have heard the learned Government Pleader on merits.2. This case involves a clear point of law because, the accused at the relevant time was the Secretary of a Co-operative Society and even though the Trial Court convicted him for criminal breach of trust and falsification of accounts, the appeal Court set aside the conviction on the ground that the requisite sanction under Section 111 of the Co-operative Societies Act had not been obtained. While doing so, the appeal Court has relied on a recent Division Bench decision of this Court in case of State by P.S.I. (I and O), Athani Police Station v. Pundalik Annappa Garage 2002(4) Kar L.J. 409 (DB), wherein the Division Bench of this Court has very clearly held that Section 111 mandates the grant of sanction for prosecution under the Co-opera...
