Palmon Fashions and ors. Vs. M.M. Verghese and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-22-1987

Reported in: (1993)IIILLJ683Bom

H.H. Kantharia, J. 1. By an award dated 22nd March, 1984, in Reference (IDA) No. 97 of 1982, the third respondent, presiding over the 4th Labour Court at Bombay, granted the relief of reinstatement with fifty per cent back wages to the first respondent-workman. It is said award that has been impugned by the petitioners in this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.2. Admittedly, the first respondent was reinstated in pursuance of the award and, therefore, the only point now canvassed by Mr. Dixit, learned Advocate, appearing for the petitioners, is that the impugned award to the extent of granting fifty per cent back wages to the first respondent is bad in law. Thus, in the submission of Mr. Dixit the impugned award to that extent is bad in law because the petitioners had offered employment to the first respondent during his period of forced unemployment but the first respondent did not accept it and, therefore, the third respondent was not correct in passing an award...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-22-1987

Reported in: 1988(2)BomCR429

B.G. Deo, J.1. This revision is directed against the rejection of the preliminary objection made by order dated 13-4-1987 by the learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Chikhli, in Regular Civil Suit No. 60 of 1987. The preliminary objection to the tenability of the suit made by application (Exhibit 19) by the applicants was on the ground that since it appears that the plaintiffs are trustees of a Registered Public Trust `Wakratund Maharaji Kavishwar Smarak' and have claimed possession of a portion of Survey No. 53/2 on the ground that the defendants have encroached upon the same, it is exclusively within the jurisdiction of the authorities contemplated under the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) as to whether any property belongs to Public Trust or not under section 79(1) of the Act and that, therefore, the suit should be dismissed.2. It appears that while arguing before the learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Chikhli, it was contended by the applican...

Krishna Lulla Vs. Shyam Ajwani and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-22-1987

Reported in: 1987(3)BomCR671; 1987MhLJ1030

S.C. Pratap, J.1. Hearing in extenso the petitioner in person who is also a practising advocate, we are unable to persuade ourselves to hold in his favour that a case has been made out for taking against the respondent action under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971.2. Embarrassing questions of a personal nature put in cross-examination to a witness in a judicial proceedings will not per se amount to contempt. The petitioner invited our attention to certain questions put in cross-examination of a witness in a proceeding under section 107 of the Code of Civil Procedure. We cannot appreciate the tone and tenor of these questions or the relevance thereof to those proceedings. Courts must prevent vexatious cross-examination and overrule irrelevant questions. And if that is not so done, the aggrieved party is not without appropriate remedy. But action in contempt is not that remedy. We say no more. Indeed, we cannot, unless we travel beyond the parameters of these contempt proceedings. Threat...
