Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Nov-11-2011

(Prayer: These writ appeals are filed under Section-4 of the Karnataka High Court Act, praying to set aside the order passed in the Writ Petition No.7935-7974/2010 (S-RES) dated 08.02.2011.) Vikramajit Sen, Ag.C.J. 1. These Appeals filed by the State of Karnataka assail the decision of the learned Single Judge dated 08.02.2011, directing the appellants to grant five stagnation increments to the petitioners with effect from 01.04.1996. The learned Single Judge has also directed that this Order should be complied with within three months. Regretfully, there has been no compliance till date, and instead these belated appeals have been preferred. Since the questions raised in this matter are of immense public importance, we think it expedient and prudent to allow the application for condoning the delay of 168 days. 2. The factual matrix may now be summed up succinctly. In December 1980, additional increments to Government servants who had continued in the same posts for more than fifteen y...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Nov-10-2011

VIKRAMAJI SEN, AG. CJ (Oral): 1. Mr. B. Veerappa, AGA accepts notice on behalf of Respondent Nos. 1 to 3. We have heard argument in complete detail and therefore proceed to pronounce Judgment. 2. The fact of the case are that certain land was granted in favour of Kariyappa on 31/05/1965 by means of Grant. One of the covenants in the Grant was that no alienation was permissible for a period of 15 years. However, Kariyappa sold the land in favour of Chandra Naik on 22/10/1974. Therefore the sale, having been executed within this period , would have been rendered non est. This is the mandate of Section 4 of the Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer of Certain Lands) Act, 1978. The original Grantee approached the Assistant Commissioner observed that the transferee namely, Chandra Naik also belonged to a Scheduled Case, and therefore the transaction was valid. However, Rule 29-A of the Karnataka Land Grant Rules,1969 clarifies that a conveyance/ alienation...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Nov-09-2011

1. Tills Appeal has been preferred by the State of Karnataka against the order of learned Single Judge who has issued a prerogative writ directing that the age of retirement of all Professors/Teachers in all Colleges in the State of Karnataka. regardless of whether they are serving in Central Universities or Educational Institutions directly funding by the Central Government/University Grants Commission should be increased to 65 years. 2. A piquant situation has arisen because two conflicting judgments has been passed by two co-ordinate Single Benches of this Court. The earlier decision emanates from the Circuit Bench at Oulbarga, rejecting the prayer for passing appropriate directions to the State and its Universities and Colleges increasing the age of retirement/superannuation of Professors and Teachers up to the date on which they attain the age of 65 years. The impugned Order which arrives at a diametrically and incompatibly opposite conclusion, has been passed by the learned Singl...
