Dighe, J.1. These three appeals can be disposed of by a common judgment. In each of these three cases a complaint was filed on February 17, 1975, that the motor vehicle belonging to respondent-accused was found causing obstruction to traffic and thereby an offence punishable under Section 102 of the Bombay Police Act, 1951 (Act No. XXII of 1951) was committed. In each of these three cases the learned Honorary Metropolitan Magistrate, Bandra, recorded the plea of not guilty of the concerned accused and has recorded the statement of the complainant that there was no No Parking Board.

Vasantrao Vs. Shyamrao

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-08-1976

Reported in: [1977]47CompCas669(Bom); 1975MhLJ337

Masodkar, J.1. Ex facie an interesting but on closer scrutiny an infirm question of law is raised by the present revision. The entire controversy submitted has something to do with the application of the provisions of Part X of the Indian Companies Act, 1956 (hereinafter called 'the Companies Act'), as urged, excluding the operation per force the statute of Chapter VI of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 (hereinafter called 'the Partnership Act'). Indeed, the main plank of submission is that in a suit purporting to have been filed under Chapter VI of the Partnership Act, if the partnership in issue consists of more than seven partners, but below twenty, on the date of the suit for dissolution of such partnership, per force the provisions of Part X of the Companies Act are attracted and by virtue of the provisions of section 582 read with section 583, the ordinary civil court would have no jurisdiction to entertain the suit and the only relief can be provided by the competent company cou...
