Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jan-08-2003

Reported in: AIR2003MP278; 2003(1)MPHT340; 2003(3)MPLJ2512

ORDERS.P. Khare, J.1. This is a revision by the applicants against the order by which their appeal challenging the order of the rejection of their application under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 (hereinafter to be referred to as 'the Act') has been dismissed.2. Both the Courts below have taken the view that the Court in which the application under Section 372 of the Act was presented has no territorial jurisdiction to decide the application. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioners this Court is of the opinion that the view taken by the two Courts below is erroneous and contrary to the provision made in Section 371 of the Act. The case of the applicants was that Motilal Tiwari was working as Section Commander in 11th Battalion at Bhilai. He died in a hospital in Jabalpur. It is clearly mentioned in the letter dated 19-5-2000 (Ex. P-2) of the Commandant, 11th Battalion, Bhilai that Motilal Tiwari was permanent resident of Village Marhi, District Satna and h...

Decided on: Jan-08-2003

Reported in: [2003(97)FLR408]; (2003)IILLJ788MP; 2003(3)MPHT179

ORDERA.M. Sapre, J.1. Having heard the learned Counsel for the parties and having perused the record of the case, I am unable to entertain the writ on its merits and hence its merits dismissal.2. It is a petition where the petitioner seeks to challenge his termination/dismissal order inter alia on the ground that it is passed without holding any enquiry and without following a principle of natural justice. The case of respondent which happens to be a Government Company is two fold. According to them firstly the remedy of petitioner is to seek reference under Section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act for getting the issue of dismissal decided by the Labour Court and hence this Court should not entertain the writ. In the second place, it is contended that if the reference is made to Labour Court, the respondent will be able to defend the dismissal by pleading those facts which led to passing of the dismissal order.3. In my view learned Counsel for the respondent seems to be right in his s...
