Court: Kerala

Decided on: Jul-02-1987

Reported in: AIR1988Ker22

Bhaskaran Nambiar, J. 1. The Syndicate of the Kerala University is a multi member constituency with five ex officio members and twelve elected members. The method of election is by the single transferable vote which thus provides for preferential voting. The election was held on 4th September, 1984 and the Registrar, the returning officer, declared the names of the candidates who have been elected. The election was challenged in an election petition by Sri Shamsuddin, a candidate who lost in the election. The Chancellor held that the procedure adopted by the reluming officer in counting the votes was opposed to the relevant election statutes and directed recounting, after formulating the principles to be followed. One of the candidates Sri Gopi, declared elected by the returning officer, apprehending that the recount ordered may upset his election, challenged the order of the Chancellor under Article 226 of the Constitution.

Deputy Commissioner of Sales Tax Vs. Prakash Traders

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Jul-01-1987

Reported in: [1987]67STC239(Ker)

K.S. Paripoornan, J.1. The Revenue is the petitioner herein. The respondent is a dealer in copper-sulphate. We are concerned with the assessment year 1979-80. The respondent contended that he is a second seller of copper-sulphate and so his sales are not liable to be taxed. Under item 65 of the First Schedule pesticides and plant protection chemicals were taxable at the relevant time at the point of first sale in the State by a dealer who is liable to tax under Section 6 of the Kerala General Sales Tax Act (in short the Act) at 4 per cent. According to the respondent, copper-sulphate is a pesticide coming within entry 66 of the First Schedule. Notwithstanding the said plea, the turnover relating to copper-sulphate was assessed in the hands of the respondent. The assessment was confirmed in appeal. The Appellate Tribunal accepted the plea of the respondent that copper-sulphate is a pesticide coming within Schedule I, entry 56 of the Act as it stood at the relevant period, and the sales ...

M. Narayanan and anr. Vs. Chellan Kunhambu and anr.

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Jul-01-1987

Reported in: 1988CriLJ1375

ORDERChettur Sankaran Nair, J.1. The prayer in this petition is to set aside the order of acquittal in C. C. 230/81 on the file of Judicial Magistrate of Second Class, Payyannur. On a complaint by the petitioners, the first respondent was charge sheeted for an offence under Section 51(A) of the Kerala Police Act. The grievance made is that after examining two out of six witnesses cited, and without making an attempt to procure attendance of the other witnesses, the accused was acquitted. This, the petitioners would say, has resulted in a miscarriage of justice.2. To ascertain the correctness of the allegation, a report was called from the Magistrate. The report dated 12-6-87 shows that on 16-7-83, 26-7-83 and 16-8-83, the Court ordered summons to all witnesses and that summons was seen to have been issued only on 26-7-83 and 16-8-83.
