State of Kerala Vs. Kocheeppan George

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Apr-08-1981

Reported in: AIR1981Ker137

Subramonian Poti, Ag. C.J. 1. This appeal is before us by reason of the reference to a larger Bench by a Full Bench of this Court. The correctness of the earlier decision of the Full Bench of this Court in State of Travancore-Cochin v. Mathai, 1957 Ker LJ 893 was doubted and that was the occasion for such reference.2. The matter had originally come up before a Division Bench which by an order dated 29-10-1979 referred the case to the Full Bench. The reference order reads thus:'Section 27 (21 of the Kerala Land Acquisition Act provides that when a claimant has omitted without sufficient reason to make the claim for comoensa-tion before the Land Acquisition Officer, the amount awarded by the court shall in no case exceed the amount awarded by the Collector. In the case before us pursuant to notice under Section 9 (3) of the Land Acquisition Act the claimant is seen to have filed a statement before the Land Acquisition Officer claiming that he had title to the property, that documents hav...

Canara Bank and ors. Vs. Appellate Authority and ors.

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Apr-05-1981

Reported in: (1981)IILLJ189Ker

Viswanatha Iyer, J.1. One common question arises for consideration in both these cases and that is whether the Canara Bank and Bank of India both nationalised banks are 'establishments under the Central Government' exempted under Section 3(1)(c) of the Kerala Shops and Establishments Act, 1960. The question arose in both the cases because the second respondent in the writ appeal and the first respondent is the original petition moved the Appellate Authority under Section 18 of the Act against the action taken by the concerned Bank terminating their engagements. The Appellate Authority has in the appeal filed by the second res' pendent found that the Canara Bank will not come within the scope of 'establishments under the Central Government' to claim exemption of the provisions of the Act. That view has been affirmed by the learned single Judge in the original petition filed by the Canara Bank against the decision of the Appellate Authority. The Bank of India filed the original petition ...

Parvathy Vs. State of Kerala and ors.

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Apr-03-1981

Reported in: AIR1981Ker239

ORDERK. Bhaskaran, J.1. A short but interesting point has been raised in this revision arising out of an order passed by the Appellate Authority (Land Reforms), Erna-kulam, in L.R.A.S. No. 1329 of 1977 dated 17-1-1979 whereunder in reversal of the order passed by the Land Tribunal, Vypeen, in O.A. No. 1804 of 1971, the Appellate Authority dismissed the application filed by the revision petitioner under Section 80-B of the Kerala Land Reforms Act, Act 1 of 1964 as amended by Act XXXV of 1969, for short the Act,2. It is not necessary to trace the history of the litigation between the petitioner and the respondents. Suffice it to say that the only question that falls for decision in this revision is whether to satisfy the requirement of 'any land' referred to in Section 2 (25) of the Act it would be enough to have an aggregate of 10 cents of land or whether it is necessary to have a compact area of 10 cents. The Land Tribunal in a rather elaborate order took the view that the fact that th...
