In Re: Sudhangshu Sekhar Bera

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jul-12-2004

Reported in: 2004(4)CHN553

1. Accrual of a statutory right and scuttling of a vested right forms the subject-matter for disposal in this application underSection 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short, the said Code) which otherwise could have been disposed of with a single 'Yes' or a single 'No'.2. But, however, the basic question which has cropped up arrests the attention of the Court and has to be dealt with in its particular perspective. On an assessment of the submission made on behalf of the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor and perusing the case diary we are not inclined to accede to the prayer under Section 439 of the said Code made on behalf of the petitioners.3. However, Shri Ganguly for the petitioners has submitted that as already the petitioners are in custody for the last 96 days they are otherwise entitled to statutory bail. This has been very seriously opposed by the learned Public Prosecutor, who has raised a question of some interests and as we have stated earlier the same...

This payment was made between 10th October, 1991 and 24th March, 1993. KMDA made this allotment at the request of the State Government who in turn had handed over this land to KMDA.

Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta, J.1. By this application 23 guardians for and on behalf of their respective wards have approached this Court for the relief of admission to Class-V without any admission test in the institution. Each and every ward was the student of Shibpur Hindu Girls' Primary School (hereinafter referred to as the primary school) and they have passed in Class IV examination held in the primary school. In this building according to the petitioners there are two streams, namely one is primary and another is secondary.

Instead they held the admission test to select the suitable candidates for admission to the secondary stream. The petitioners and each of them seemingly have got inspiration of judicial pronouncement rendered in scale of Debasish Kar Gupta v.

Case No. 13 of 2002 on 15.7.2002 whereby the interim bail granted by his Honour on 7.1.2002 was confirmed, this application has been taken out on behalf of the Complainant for setting aside the same.2.

Ghatal Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. Vs. Union of India (Uoi) and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jul-09-2004

Amitava Lala, J.1. Both the writ petitions are directed to be analogously heard. A challenge has been thrown in respect of the notification being No. 565 dated 5.5.1980 whereunder Government of West Bengal in exercise of the powers conferred of Clause (b) of Sub-section (3) of Section 1 of the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 specified all inland water transport establishments and employing twenty or more persons as a class of establishment to which the provisions of the said Act shall apply with effect from 31.5.1980. Such writ petition is numbered as W.I. 18361 (W) of 1999. But it appears to this Court that the other writ petition which has been directed to be analogously heard being C.O. 13114(W) of 1988 whereunder the petitioner itself wanted to be covered by the Employees Provident Fund Scheme. However, since a question of law belatedly in the affidavit-in-reply to WP No. 18361(W) of 1999 has been taken, the Court has to give answer to that effect....
