D.K. Seth, J.1. The petitioner had applied for licence for holding haat (market) in Plot No. 676 which he claims to belong to him by reason of the proceedings under Section 6(1) of the West Bengal Estates Acquisition Act (W. B. E. A. Act) in which he was allowed to retain the said land.2. Elaborate argument has been made by Mr. Panda and Mr. Anupam Chatterjee referring to the Bihar Land Reforms Act, Bihar & Bengal Transfer of Territories Act, 1956, West Bengal Estates Acquisition Act, West Bengal Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act in order to drive home the point that there is no dispute with regard to the ownership of the land so far as the petitioner is concerned. He has also referred to various orders, proceedings and the record-of-rights in order to establish that he is in possession and that this land was never vested either under Section 6(a) of the Bihar Land Reforms Act or West Bengal Estates Acquisition Act after it was made applicable in the year 1964 since trans...

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Sep-14-2004

Reported in: 2005(3)CHN187,I(2006)DMC465

Debi Prasad Sengupta, J.1. In spite of notice, nobody appears on behalf of the opposite party/husband.2. In the present application, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 26.4.2004 passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Court, Siliguri in M.R. Case No. 28 of 2004 thereby rejecting the prayer for ad interim maintenance filed by the petitioner in a proceeding under Section 125, Cr. PC.3. It appears that the petitioner filed an application under Section 125, Cr. PC before the learned Magistrate and in connection with the said proceeding under Section 125, Cr. PC an application was also filed praying for interim maintenance for herself. From the impugned order, it appears that the learned Magistrate rejected such prayer for interim maintenance without assigning any reason and without recording any satisfaction as to why such interim maintenance should be refused.4. In my considered view, the said order suffers from serious illegality and the same should be set aside. Accord...

D.K. Seth, J.1. In re: A.S.T. 1321 of 2004.In this application, four points have since been raised in connection with the appeal arising out of the order dated July 21, 2004 passed by the learned single Judge in C.A.N. 4700 of 2003 arising out of a writ petition being W.P. No. 7823 (W) of 2003 granting relief under Section 17-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. However, we are dealing with two points as hereafter. So far as other two points that have been raised by Mr. Banerjee, are kept open to be agitated in the writ petition itself. In our view, if we decide those two points, in that event, we will be deciding the issues involved in the writ petition. Therefore, we refrain from making any observation on those two points.2. The first point that has been raised by, Mr. Banerjee is that since his client had offered re-employment to the alleged workmen (though according to him the respondent No. 1 is not a workman but a managerial staff) and the respondent had refused the reinstatem...
