The Uran Islampur Municipality Vs. Shankarrao Amritrao Jadhav

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-24-1958

Reported in: (1959)61BOMLR284

Vyas, J.(1) These revisional applications raise a common question of law and therefore we have decided to dispose of them by a common judgment. The point of law which is raised in all these applications is this: If a person, who brings or introduces an article, on which octori is payable, into the octroi limits of a municipal district, refuses to pay the octroi leviable upon the article, is a suit tenable against him under the Bombay District Municipal Act, 1901 (Bom. Act III of 1901)? There has been no decision of this High court, and we have not been referred to anydecision of any other High Court, upon this point. It is for this reason that these revisional applications raise a point of some importance.(2) For thepurpose of delivering judgment, it will be convenient to set out the facts which have given rise to Civil Revisional Application No. 1454 of 1956. This revisional application has arisen out of a judgment and decree passed by the learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, at Isla...

Manabai Hari Bobde Vs. Ramchandra Dama Bobde

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-24-1958

Reported in: (1958)60BOMLR1431

Mudholkar, J.1. This judgment will also govern Special Civil Application No. 36 of 1958.2. A common point of law arises in both these petitions and that is whether the word 'transfer' as used in Sub-section (9) of Section 9 of the Berar Regulation of Agricultural Leases Act, 1951, includes 'partition'. Sub-section (1) of Section 9 provides that a landholder can terminate the lease of a protected lessee by giving him a notice in writing and by following the procedure laid down in Section 8 of the Act.3. In Special Civil Application No. 24 of 1958, the petitioners who are mother and son effected a partition of Section No. 2/4 of mauza Kalamna, district Yeotmal. Petitioner No. 1 wanted to cultivate the land herself and, therefore, a notice under Section 9(1) of the Act was served by her on respondent No. 1 terminating his lease. Respondent No. 1 thereupon made an application under Section 9(3) challenging the ~bona fides of the notice. His application was dismissed. The Bombay Revenue Tri...

Kishandas Bakhatmal Vs. the Municipal Corporation of the City of Aheme ...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-24-1958

Reported in: (1958)60BOMLR1357

M.C. Chagla, C.J.1. The plaintiff filed a suit against the Municipal Corporation of the City of Ahmedabad. The plaintiff was a sub-tenant of one Hassanali Gulamali who was joined as a party defendant to the suit. The tenant, defendant No. 2, died on July 6, 1955, and an application to bring his heirs on record was made on October 5, 1955. The application, as is obvious, was beyond time, having been filed 91 days after the death of defendant No. 2. The application was, therefore, dismissed. The plaintiff then made another application on January 13, 1956, for condonation of delay of one day. That application was also dismissed. The plaintiff then went in appeal and the learned District Judge dismissed the appeal.2. It is perfectly true that, as the record stands, the petitioner has no case. He files an application, for bringing the heirs of defendant No. 2 on record when that application is out of time and when the suit has already abated. The proper application should have been for sett...

The complainant is concerned in a dispute regarding bonus payable to the workmen which is the subject of the pending reference before this tribunal. His contention is that by virtue of the above proviso the company on dismissing him was bound to pay him one month's wages and apply for the approval of the tribunal and as it has done neither of these things the provisions of S. 33 had been contravened by it. The misconduct alleged against him is that he refused to repair a wooden drum in spite of the orders of the superior officer. It is not disputed that the...
