The Engineering Mazdoor Sabha Vs. S. Taki Bilgrami

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-16-1969

Reported in: (1971)ILLJ77Bom; 1970MhLJ734

K.K. Desai, J.1. The question which is raised on behalf of the workmen does not relate, in our view, to the question of the lock-out being illegal but to the question of the company having proved facts which absolved the company from payment of any wages to the workmen for the period of the lock-out. When the Tribunal held that the lock out was justified it was aware that the lock-out was illegal. The word 'justified' was used by the Tribunal in connection with the question of relief which the workmen should be entitled to for the period of the lock-out. Now, it is true that, in law, what is illegal can never be held to be justified, but it is true that the consequence of a lock-out being declared illegal must be that, for the period of that illegal lock-out workmen must be entitled to payment of wages. It is true that, ordinarily, when workmen are, against their consent, and desire, not allowed to enter factory premises, it should be held in their favour that, for the period during wh...

ORDER1. The question which arises in this petition is whether the Collector in the course of an enquiry under Section 18 of the Maharashtra Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act. 1961, hereafter referred to as the Ceiling Act, has jurisdiction to decide an issue of tenancy if such an issue arises before him. Proceedings for determination o surplus land commenced on a return filed under Section 12 of the Ceiling Act by respondent No. 4 Mandakinibai, who is referred to hereafter as the holder, were pending before the Special Deputy Collector, Yeotmal.

H.R. Syiem Vs. P.S. Lulla

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-10-1969

Reported in: (1970)72BOMLR534

S.P. Kotval, C.J.1. This appeal comes to me on a difference of opinion between Tarkunde J. and Vimadalal J. On a previous occasion when I had heard the appeal an objection was taken that in the original order of reference dated April 24, 1968 the points on which the learned Judges differed had not been stated and that therefore such a statement was necessary having regard to Clause 36 of the Letters Patent. I had therefore made an order on March 14, 1969 requesting the learned Judges to state the points on which they differed and which required decision by me. By an order passed on March 21, 1969 the learned Judges have now stated the following questions for my decision :-1, Whether the Assistant Collector of Customs was wrong in holding that the black insulating tapes imported by the respondent fell within the expression 'adhesive tapes' in entry No. 38 in Part II of the Policy Statement in the Red Book. 2. If so, whether this Court can, in the exercise if its powers under Article 226...
