Lentin, J.1. An order rejecting a reference for adjudication under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 must reflect, albeit briefly,' the material on which the finding is based.

Sharad Manohar, J.1. This is another illustration how the Court's process is being made a mockery.2. The present petitioner has not an infinitesimal justification for holding fast to the land as regards which order for possession has been passed in favour of the respondent -landlord as early as on 7th March, 1975 in an application filed as early as on 3rd January, 1963 by the certificated landlord in whose favour the order for Exemption Certificate under section 88 was passed on 31st August, 1962. For a full period of 16 years, the landlord is being driven from pillar to post to get the certificated land. He does not know till this date the fate of the proceeding instituted by him on 3-1-1963. The delay of the last 5 years is the result of pendency of this writ petition for that period of 5 years in this Court.3. The facts are very simple. The suit land admittedly belongs to the respondent -landlord, which was held by the deceased-present petitioner as a tenant. The landlord made appli...

Thukral Anjali Dookumar (Dr.) Vs. State of Maharashtra and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jul-27-1988

Reported in: 1988(4)BomCR209

P.B. Sawant, J.1. In view of the urgency, the petitions are admitted and the Rules are made returnable forthwith. The main contesting parties, viz. the Bombay Municipal Corporation, the State Government and the University of Bombay waive service and appear. The Corporation has also filed its affidavit-in-reply to the petition. Since the interests of both the sets of students, namely, those who support the petitions and those who oppose, are fairly and effectively represented by the contesting parties, it is not necessary to hear all the students. Nor is it possible to do so. Some of the students who are joined as parties to some of the petitions are present in Court to instruct the respective Counsel. One of them, i.e. respondent No. 16 in Writ Petition No. 3264 of 1988 has also filed an affidavit-in-reply. However, the appearances of all the students have not been recorded. We will treat those students who are not served as deleted. It may be mentioned that by our interim orders we ha...
