Prithvichand Ramchand Sablok Vs. S.Y. Shinde

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-16-1985

Reported in: AIR1985Bom297; 1985(2)BomCR200; (1985)87BOMLR111; 1985MhLJ199

ORDER1. This petition raises an important question of law regarding the interpretation of consent terms filed in a suit instituted under the provisions of the Bombay Rents Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 (hereinafter referred to as the 'Bombay Rent Act'). The law relating to the nature of the consent terms is fairly well-settled as I will show a little later in this judgment. Nevertheless, some variations do arise from time and this petition provides one of such variations which has to be dealt with in the light of the well-settled law.2. The petitioner filed suit, being Regular Suit No. 419 of 1968, against the respondent for possession of certain premises which were tenanted by the respondent. The ground urged in support of the prayer for possession was among others, that the respondent had committed default in the payment of arrears of rent, thus meriting a decree for eviction under Section 12(3) of the Bombay Rent Act.3. On 8th July 1970 a decree in terms of the com...

Jawahar Vastra Bhandar and ors. Vs. Satyapal S/O Shobraj Khatri

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-16-1985

Reported in: 1986(1)BomCR553; 1985MhLJ466

V.A. Motha, J.1. Can the co-owners be simultaneously 'landlord' and 'tenant' under the C.P. and Berar Letting of Houses and Rent Control Order, 1949 ('The H.R.C. Order')? Can appellate authority pass order of remand? These are some of the issues raised in this petition.2. The petitioners and respondent are co-owners of a shop bearing No. 55 in the Wholesale Cloth Market, Gandhibagh, Nagpur. Each of them has undivided 1/2 share. The petitioners took 1/2 undivided share on monthly rent and are in occupation of the whole shop. The respondent filed an application under Clause 13(3)(ii) and (vi) of the H.R.C. Order for permission to terminate the tenancy. This application was resisted, inter alia, on the ground that it was not maintainable as there could be no relationship of landlord-tenant in respect of unspecified share between Co-Owners. The Controller upheld this objection and summarily dismissed the application on that short ground. Being aggrieved by the said Order (Annexure A), an a...

Union of India and Others Vs. Morarji Goculdas Spg. Wvg. Co. Ltd. and ...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-15-1985

Reported in: 1986(24)ELT13(Bom)

ORDER1. Called Appeal for admission.2. Heard Counsel.3. P. C. The averments made in para 4 of the petition show that the blending of the different types of fabrics is done in the respondent company in what is known as the 'Blow Room'. The further averments show that thereafter the mixed fabrics undergo various processes and finally emerge from what are known as ring frames. At this stage, the commodity becomes fully manufactured yarn and is an excisable and commercial commodity. If such yarn is made for sale or for captive consumption for weaving, it is gathered on bobbins, cones, reels, etc. If it is to be sold, it could be sold in that stage and if it is to be used for weaving, it is wound on beams and then sized. These averments remain uncontroverted because there is no affidavit in reply, although the petition was heard three years after it was filed. These averments, in our view, clearly show that the commodity in question became complete yarn before it was sized and that sizing w...
