Dharmadhikari, Actg. C.J.1. Since all these writ petitions involve common questions of law and fact they were heard together and are being disposed of by this common judgment.2. In these writ petitions the provisions of Section 73FF of the Mah. Cooperative Societies Act, 1960 as a whole are challenged on various grounds. However, we are mainly concerned with the provisions of section 73FF(l)(i)(c) and 73FF(l)(vi) of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960 (hereinafter referred to as the said Act). Section 73FF came to be inserted in the said Act by Maharashtra Act XX of 1986, which came into force with effect from 12th of May 1986. By the said Act Section 78 also came to be amended. Section 73FF deals with the disqualification of membership of the Committee. Since section as a whole is challenged before us it will be worthwhile to reproduce the said section verbatim.'73FF(1) Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Act or the rules made thereunder in relation to the di...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-18-1987

Reported in: 1987(3)BomCR368

C.S. Dharmadhikari, Ag. C. J.1. The order of detention issued by the Commissioner of Police, Greater Bombay, date the 22nd of April, 1987 under the provisions of the National Security Act is challenged before us on various grounds. It is contended by Mr. Naik, the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner, that while passing the order of detention the detaining authority in terms has relied upon the earlier detention order dated 15-11-1984 which came to be set aside by the High Court on the 16th of April, 1985 as well as the externment order issued on the 31st of July, 1985 under section 57 of the Bombay Police Act. Though specific reliance is plased on the earlier detention order as well as the externment order and for this reason a copy of the externment order is supplied to the detenu, the copies of the earlier detention order and the judgment passed by the High Court were not supplied to him. Since it was a material on the basis of which the externment order came to be passed an...

Reported in: 1987(3)BomCR372

V.P. Tipnis, J.1. The petitioner was externed by order dated the 19th of January, 1987 passed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone IV, New Bombay, from the districts of Thane, (Greater Bombay) and Raigad for a period of two years. The appeal filed by the petitioner to the State Government was also dismissed. The petitioner takes exception to the order of externment and the appellate order by this petition.2. Mr. Chitnis, the learned Counsel for the petitioner, contended that the order of externment is bad in law, inasmuch as the notice issued under section 59 of the Bombay Police Act does not conform to the provisions of section 59 and it does not indicate even generally the material allegations in respect of allegations purporting to be under section 56(1)(a) of the Bombay Police Act. Mr. Chitnis in this behalf heavily placed reliance on the judgment of the Division Bench of the Gujarat High Court reported in Jawahar Pannlal v. Sub-Divisional Magistrate : (1962)GLR1041 as also t...
