Decided on: Dec-07-2010

1. The petitioner was an applicant to the post of Vocational Teacher in Medical Laboratory Technology. She was having the qualification Bsc. MLT in Medical Laboratory Technology with 59.6% marks which is clear from Ext.P1 copy of the mark list. 2. The notification is dated 5.10.2004 issued by the second respondent. The method of recruitment is by transfer or direct recruitment. The qualification prescribed is Degree in Medical Laboratory Technology with not less than 60% marks from any of the Universities in Kerala which is clear from Ext.P3 copy of the Gazette notification. The petitioner submitted an application and actually he had participated in the written examination and passed the same and finally he was included in the rank list. At the time of verification of the documents he was informed that the application is rejected for want of sufficient marks, viz. 60%. This is under challenge in this writ petition. 3.

Thajudeen T.J. Vs. Muhammed Ismail, and ors.

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Dec-07-2010

1. This is an appeal preferred against the award of the Claims Tribunal, Thodupuzha in O.P. (MV) No.596/2004. 2. The claimant sustained injuries in a road accident and he has been awarded a compensation of Rs.60,600/=. There was a direction to the insurance company to deposit the amount and get it recovered from the second respondent on the ground that the driver did not have the valid licence and as there is breach of the policy condition, the insurance company is entitled to be reimbursed. It is against that decision; the second respondent has come up in appeal. 3. The contention of the present appellant is that he had sold the vehicle to one Shaju Bhaskaran on 26.2.2004. Therefore it is contended that as the accident occurred on 11.3.2004, on the date of the accident the second respondent was not the owner of the vehicle and therefore he is not liable to pay the compensation. Unfortunately this contention had not been taken up before the Tribunal and so the Tribunal did not have the...

Suhra Haris Koya, and anr. Vs. State of Kerala, and ors.

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Dec-07-2010

1. Prayers sought in the writ petition No.17048/2010 are to quash Ext.P5 and to direct respondents 1 to 4 not to receive tax or issue possession certificate in relation to any of the properties included in I.P.No.3/1100 (ME) pending before the Additional Sub Court, Kollam. 2. I.P.No.3/1100 (ME) was filed by one Koya Kunju who had extensive properties which were scheduled in the said proceedings. The pleadings show that the properties of the insolvent were handed over to the Official Receiver, District Court, Kollam. Subsequently, all the creditors were paid off and finally the insolvency proceedings were annulled by the court by its order dated 23.11.1960. 3. The remaining properties which were in the hands of the Receiver ought to have been returned to the legal heirs of the insolvent. It would appear that many of the legal heirs of the insolvent also got themselves impleaded in I.P.No.3/1100 (ME). According to the petitioners, while the proceedings are thus pending, they came to know...

Maheendra, and anr. Vs. State of Kerala, and anr.

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Dec-07-2010

1. Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 and 2 in Crime No.463/2010 of Kareelakulangara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 420 and 506(1) I.P.C., seek anticipatory bail. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. After evaluating the factors and parameters which are to be taken into consideration in the light of paragraph 122 of the verdict dated 2-12-2010 of the Apex Court in Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra and Others (Crl.Appeal No. 2271 of 2010), I am of the view that anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this nature, since the investigating officer has not had the advantage of interrogating the petitioners. But at the same time, I am inclined to permit the petitioners to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have their application for bail allowed by the Magistrate having jurisdiction. 4. Accordingly, the petitioners shall surrender before the investigating officer on...

The petitioner was arrested on 22/06/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is involved in 13 crimes including a murder case and that out of those cases in two L.P cases he is being produced before court on production warrant. 3. Whatever may be the antecedents of the petitioner, the facts of the present case indicate that he had only intimidated the victim using a toy gun.
