Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-18-1987

Reported in: 1989(2)BomCR10

M.S. Deshpande, J.1. This petition by the non-tribal transferee is directed against the order dated 30th June, 1985, passed by the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal affirming the order passed by the Additional Tahsildar, Sakoli, on 15th October, 1983, reviewing his own earlier order, dated 23rd September, 1980 by which possession of only half of the land was restored to the respondent No. 2 and directed, on review, to restore the entire land of one-acre to the respondent No. 2 who was a tribal as he belonged to the Gond tribe.2. Though several challenges were raised to the order passed by the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, the only point urged by Shri Badiye the learned Counsel for the petitioners, was that once having passed the order, dated 23rd September, 1980, the Additional Tahsildar, Sakoli, could not have reviewed his own order and passed the order dated 15th October, 1983, restoring the whole of the land, which had transferred by the respondent No. 2 to the petitioner by the sale-dee...

United India Insurance Company Ltd. Vs. Zumibai (Smt.) W/O Vasaram and ...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Nov-18-1987

Reported in: 1988(2)BomCR1

Sharad Manohar, J.1. I am little unhappy about the fact that I am required to allow both these appeals filed by the Insurance Company disowning its liability towards the applicants under the Motor Vehicles Act. 2. The two appeals arise out of the two applications filed by the heirs of the two victims, who died in an accident which took place on 14th June, 1980. Admittedly, the vehicle was a good vehicle, hired by the Government of India. Original Opponent No. 1 was the owner of the vehicle. The United India Insurance Company was the original Opponent No. 2. The vehicle was taken on hire by the Government for carrying of goods. It appears that since some work was being carried on near the Aner Dam, some person clambered into the truck. It is a finding recorded by the Court below, incapable of being interfered with having regard to the nature of the evidence, that all these persons were gratuitous passengers. The truck driver allowed them to clamber into the truck. Some of them sat in th...

V.P. Tipnis, J.1. By this application, the petitioners are challenging the legality and correctness of the order of the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 21st Court, Bandra, Bombay, dated 7th November, 1987 remanding the petitioners and three others into police custody till 20th November, 1987.2. The Inspector of Police, Kandivli Police Station, made a report dated 7th November, 1987, to the learned Metropolitan Magistrate under section 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure that the marginally noted persons therein were arrested on 7th November, 1987. The report stated that the accused persons are adversely known on the record of the Police Station and that they are mischief mongers, opportunists and are with bad record. Some of them were also involved in serious offences. Taking into consideration the present law and order situation, the said persons are likely to take chance of the present situation and may get themselves involved in the commission of cognizable offences thereby distu...
