Aggarwal, J.1. The petitioner herein, Sumani Private Ltd., is the transferor-company seeking amalgamation with Lalitmani Private Ltd., the transferee-company, as per scheme of amalgamation formulated by them, Ex. A to the petition. 2. When the matter came up for admission and directions on 20th October, 1978, before Mrs. Sujata Manohar J., it was contended on behalf of the petitioners that under s. 394(1), second proviso, of the Companies Act, 1956, the official liquidator is required to make a report to the court only in respect of company which is being wound up and not in respect of company which is a going concern, and in support of this contention, reliance was placed upon the decision of a single judge of the Calcutta High Court in Marybong & Kyel Tea Estate Ltd., In re [1977] 47 Com Cas 802 (Cal).

Cooper Engineering Ltd. Vs. B.B. Vagyani

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-27-1979

Reported in: (1980)82BOMLR272; 1980MhLJ325

Naik, J.1. This petition raises an interesting question as to whether a notice of change reducing the number or working days from six to five days a week and converting the sixth working day into a day of leave without wages would be a change within the meaning of Section 9A read with the fourth schedule of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.2. The question arises under the following circumstances: The petitioner Cooper Engineering Limited is a company manufacturing diesel oil engines, looms etc. situate at Satara Road in the District of Satara. It appears that because of the serious slump during the years 1969-70 by March 1970 as many as 5,500 diesel oil engines which were manufactured by the factory remained unsold and the number went to 12,000 by the end of May 1970. Having regard to this state of slump in the manufacturing industry all over India, while some of the factories actually closed business, it appears that the petitioner-company tried to negotiate with their employees in a...

Shriram Manik Patil Vs. Sojabai Manik Patil

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-23-1979

Reported in: AIR1979Bom301

Deshmukh, C.J.1. The point that is referred to the Full Bench is as follows:--'Whether the word 'custom' or 'usage' in Section 10(iv) of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, includes within its sweep the rules of Bombay School of Hindu Law or the interpretation of the text thereof by Courts?'When the Reference was opened before us by Mr. Choudhari for the appellant-original defendant, he wanted to argue that there was a custom of adopting boys who have completed the age of fifteen years among the community of the party, in that village. It is because of this point, which he raised in this second appeal before the learned Single Judge that the matter was referred to the Division Bench, and by the Division Bench to this larger Bench.2. We, however, find, on examining the pleadings by the parties, that the appellant-defendant has nowhere pleaded in the written statement that there is a custom in the area to which he belongs or in the community to which he belongs or the family f...

Trivikram Vs. Vithalrao and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-23-1979

Reported in: AIR1980Bom1; (1980)82BOMLR253; 1979MhLJ614

Chandurkar, J.1. This first appeal which arises out of execution proceedings and is filed by the legal representatives of the original judgment-debtor has been placed before the Full Bench because Vaidya J., who heard the appeal, found that a Full Bench decision of this Court in Bhagwan Shankar v. Rajaram Bapu, : AIR1951Bom125 , may not be good law in view of the decision of the Supreme Court in Moloji Nar Singh Rao v. Shankar Saran, AIR 1982 SC 1737 and since he further found that the Full Bench decision in Bhagwan Shankar's case was cited with approval by the Supreme Court in Narhari v. Pannalal : [1976]3SCR149 .2. As we shall presently point out, the question involved in the appeal which necessitated the reference to the Full Bench relates to the executability of the decree passed by the Bombay High Court on its Original Side against a judgment debtor who was then resident in the erstwhile State of Hyderabad and who had not submitted to the jurisdiction of the Bombay High Court in t...

ORDER1. The present petition questions the order made by the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal under Section 76, exercising powers of revision, against the certificate Issued by the District Deputy Collector under Section 88-B (2) of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948.

Dattu Dnyanu Padalkar Vs. Hari Natha Patil and anr.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-21-1979

Reported in: AIR1979Bom247; (1980)82BOMLR269; 1979MhLJ628

Deshmukh, C.J.1. This Special Civil Application has been referred to the Full Bench by the learned Single Judge of this Court, as he found that there was conflict of views between two Division Benches of this Court on the real meaning and interpretation of Section 88 (1) (a) of the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Tenancy Act').2. The facts in this case do not seem to be in dispute. We will refer to some of the Vat Hukums of the erstwhile Kolhapur regime. It is enough to state that in the case of all public trusts, the Kolhapur Darbar was managing the properties, and by orders passed from time to time the mode of management and control by the Darbar over them were indicated. It will be equally clear from the referring judgment that after the merger of Kolhapur State with erstwhile Bombay State and the present Maharashtra State, the properties of the Devasthan in question were being let out on Eksali basis on auction by the Collector of Ko...
