Reported in: (1959)IILLJ107Bom

Acts/Rules/Orders: Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 - Section 25F; Factories Act, 1948 - Sections 46 and 54AWARD1. Both these disputes were referred for adjudication to Sri Syed Taki Bilgrami, and are transferred to this tribunal by the president of the industrial court. In both these references with the exception of one demand, all other demands are identical. Moreover, the dispute is about wages and other conditions of work of workmen employed in the canteens which the textile mills in the State have to maintain under the rules framed under S. 46 of the Factories Act. The employers are two co-operative societies and the employees are the workmen employed in the canteens managed by these co-operative societies. Consequently, the demands are regarding wage structure and other conditions of service of workmen employed in the same industry. With the consent of the parties, therefore, I have heard both the references together and I am making a common award. 2. The demands which are identical...

The State of Bombay Vs. Kulsumbai Jafferali G. Padamsee

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-04-1958

Reported in: (1959)61BOMLR263

M.C. Chagla, C.J.1. Various interesting and ingenious points arise in this appeal. That is to be expected because this is an appeal from a petition challenging a requisition order, and so long as the Requisition Act is on the statute book and so long as requisition orders are made, novel and ingenious arguments will always be advanced before the Court.2. The facts that give rise to this appeal are that the impugned requisition order was passed on October 10, 1957, under Section 6(4)(a) of the Requisition Act. The order stated that the vacancy had occurred in the month of March 1957, there was a declaration by the Government that the premises had become vacant after December 4, 1947, and the premises were being requisitioned for a public purpose, viz., for housing a Bombay State Government servant. The premises concerned are three rooms Nos. Fl, F2 and F3 on the 5th floor of a building known as Chhotu Terrace situated at 105, Colaba Road, Bombay 5. The facts with regard to these premise...

The appellant, who is also the petitioner, is the managing agent of a limited company called the Harinagar Sugar Mills Ltd. On 15-11-1954 the Registrar of Companies called for an explanation from the Harinagar Sugar Mills Ltd., and the Registrar stated in his letter that it had been represented to him under Section 137(6) of the Indian Companies Act that the business of the company was carried on in fraud and he had therefore to call upon the company to furnish the information which he required which was set out in the latter part of the letter.
