1. This is an appeal filed before the Tribunal under Section 35B of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944. The appellant Company has come up with this appeal, feeling aggrieved by the order passed by the Collector of Central Excise, Pune on 23rd September, 1982.

Waikar, J.1. This is a reference made by the District and Sessions Judge, Akola under Order XLVI, Rule 7 of the Civil P. C. on an application made to him by the original defendant in the small causes suit for ejectment which was decreed against him.2.

The plaintiffs obtained necessary permission of the House Rent Controller and by a quite notice dated 21-9-1979 and filed the suit for ejectment, arrears of rent and damages.3.

The contention of the defendant in the Small Cause Suit was that the permission granted by the House Rent Controller had not become final as the appeal against the same before the Resident Deputy ...

Bagalkot Udyog Limited Vs. Minal Surendra Patel (Smt.) and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-22-1983

Reported in: 1983(2)BomCR593

V.S. Kotwal, J.1. Affluence, education and culture may be cherished desires of many, though there may be only a handful of persons who are bestowed with this fortune. The plaintiff who no doubt falls in that category has to face quite a bitter criticism on that count as this fortune is sought to be looked upon as her sin. The further characteristic of this proceeding is that an individual is pitted against a Company when the premises are occupied by the employees of the Company though, originally under a leave and licence agreement as also though the furnishing of quarters is not a term of employment. The other side of this coin is apparent that the plaintiff who owns the premises has to rest content by being away from the premises and invite sympathies from her relations for securing at least temporary accommodation. 2. Quite an affluent family consisting of the parents, three daughters and a son resided in a family house 'Anand Bhavan' located in Babulnath area of this metropolitan c...

B.D. Deshpande, J.1. The petitioner's property was acquired by the State under the Land Acquisition Act and compensation was offered to him by respondent No. 2, the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Kalamnuri. The petitioner was not satisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded to him and so he sought for a reference to the Civil Court. While seeking for a relief from the Civil Court, a petitioner is required to pay necessary Court-fee in accordance with law. Instead of paying the necessary Court-fee, the petitioner submitted an application for time to pay the Court-fee. This petition was submitted on 6-5-1981. It appears that the matter was kept pending till 12-11-1982, and on the last mentioned date, the learned Special Land Acquisition Officer passed an order below the application for time to pay Court-fee that the application is rejected and thereafter he held that the Court-fee was not paid and as such the request for reference was no within limitation and so he rejected the ...

Vamanbhai Bhagwandas Vs. Ninth Wealth-tax Officer

Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: Apr-21-1983

Reported in: (1983)4ITD682(Mum.)

1. This group of ten appeals, though relate to the two assessees are heard together and disposed of by this common order for the sake of convenience, because they raise a common point for decision arising out of the common order dated 25-6-1981 of the AAC relating to all the present ten appeals.2. The first common ground taken in these appeals is that the AAC erred in making an ex parte order holding that nobody attended on behalf of the appellants even though the representative of the appellants attended before him on the date fixed for hearing, namely, 25-6-1981.The next common ground in these appeals is that the AAC erred in holding that the only contention raised in the grounds of appeals before him was whether the interests of the appellants in the properties should be valued by an actuary or by an architect when, in fact, several other issues were also raised before him, which have not been adjudicated by him. The last common ground taken in these appeals is that having regard t...

Their product 'Alprovit Liquid' was classified under Tariff Item IB of the 1st Schedule to the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944. It appears that the petitioners paid duty under item IB for the period between 17th June 1978 and 5th August 1980. On 7th March 1981 they asked for drawing of samples for the purposes of re-classification of the goods and claiming total exemption under notification No. 17/70 dated 1st March 1970.
