Jumma Vs. Birja

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-10-1987

Reported in: AIR1988MP276; 1987MPLJ710

ORDERT.N. Singh, J. 1. This application under Section 23A of the Madhya Pradesh Accommodation Control Act, 1961, for short, the 'Act', has raised two important questions of law. Indeed being conscious of this position and conscious also of the fact that decision to be rendered in this matter was likely to affect both pending and future applications of the same nature, I heard counsel at length on different dates. I commend the resourceful assistance which I received from them in this matter which I propose to dispose of finally today, here and now.2. The questions formulated are as follows : --1. Whether Section 23A, in terms, contemplates that relief thereunder can be available only in respect of an accommodation which, on the date of the application, is in occupation of a 'tenant' and the Rent Controlling Authority (for short, the 'Authority') shall have no jurisdiction to try and dispose of the application when the applicant fails to establish subsisting tenancy of the non-applicant...

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-06-1987

Reported in: [1988]68STC308(MP)

G.G. Sohani, J.1. By this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners have prayed that the order of assessment dated 31st December, 1986 passed by the Assistant Commissioner of Sales Tax, Indore, be quashed. The petitioners have also prayed for issuance of an ad interim writ restraining the respondents from recovering the tax and the penalty imposed by the impugned order.2. A preliminary objection is raised on behalf of the respondents that the petitioner has a right to prefer an appeal before the prescribed authority under the provisions of the Madhya Pradesh General Sales Tax Act, 1958 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act') and as the Act provides for a complete machinery to challenge an order of assessment, the impugned order of assessment can only be challenged by the mode prescribed by the Act and not by a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution. Before we proceed to appreciate the contentions raised by the parties in this behalf, it would be us...

Ram Bharose Vs. the New India Insurance Company Limited and ors.

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-06-1987

Reported in: II(1987)ACC191

T.N. Singh, J.1. Respondents' counsel Shri Lahoti submits that this is not the case in which any consideration is deserved by the appellant and the prayer in the appeal for enhancement in the quantum of the award is misconceived.2. I have no doubt that counsel is right to th-3 extent that decisions which are cited before me in some cases take the view that for injury caused to the nose in a motor accident, the claim could be validly settled of Rs. 5,000/-, but needless to state that each case has to be decided on its own facts and a single yard-stick in such cases can hardly do justice to all cases of all natures.3. Indeed, I see much force in the submission of appellant's counsel that the award is made mainly for the injury which the claimant/appellant suffered with respect to his nose in that there was a fracture of a bone of the nose which was accordingly disfigured permanently. It is counsel's submission relying on the evidence of Doctors, CW 4 and 5, that the claimant also suffere...
