Sharad Manohar, J.1. Both the above writ petitions arise out of a common judgment of the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal stemming from a thoroughly mala fide proceeding set in motion by the respondent No. 1 in Writ Petition No. 2539 of 1980.A brief statement of the relevant facts would show how the proceedings were thoroughly malicious.2. For the sake of convenience, the parties will be referred to with reference to their position in Writ Petition No. 2539/80.Respondent No. 1 in that petition was the owner of the land in question. It was an agricultural land. There was no tenant on the same. Hence, there arose no question of respondent No. 1 being a 'landlord' of the land. He was the 'owner'; not the 'landlord' within the meaning of section 32-P of the Bombay Tenancy Act.Likewise, the land which was the agricultural land ceased to be so after the same was admittedly converted to N.A. use by virtue of the order dated 7-1-1962 passed by the authority under the Land Revenue Code as also by v...

Netaji Vidya Vikas Mandal Mohol Vs. State of Maharashtra and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-31-1989

Reported in: 1989(3)BomCR681

S.K. Desai, J.1. We are inclined to dispose of this matter at the stage of admission. Hence Rule is issued.2. Shri C.J. Sawant for respondent No. 1 waives service. Shri Shah for respondent No. 3 waives service. Service on respondent No. 2 is dispensed with. By consent matter is taken up.3. The principal dispute is between the petitioner-Society and the 3rd respondent. We have already indicated in our previous order made on August 23, 1989, the prima facie incorrect manner in which a decision has been taken by the Honble Minister over-ruling the preference of the University. However, it must be accepted, as has been submitted by Shri Shah, that even the University gave an unreasoned preference by just designating Nos. 1 and 2 against the names of the two applicants without indicating why it was preferring one to the other. To recapitulate, the University had given first preference to the petitioner and relegated the 3rd respondent to position No. 2. This has been reversed by the Ministe...

H. Suresh, J.1. In this appeal, the State is challenging an order passed by the learned single Judge allowing Writ Petition No. 1526 of 1986 whereby respondent Nos. 2 to 17 who are all in the category of the lowest self drawing gazetted officers on the Original Side in this High Court, have been equated with their counter parts on the Appellate Side, namely, the Assistant Registrars.2. At the time of the filing of the petition, the respondents were in the pay scale of Rs. 650 1250, which was the same as that of Senior Superintendents and the Shirestedars, though their function was comparable to that of the Assistant Registrars on the Appellate Side. The Assistant Registrars were in the pay scale of Rs. 1000-1500. Therefore, they had contended that they were being equated with unequals (i.e. Shirestedars/Senior Suprintendents) and they were not being equated with their equals. That is how they had sought a writ directing the Government to grant them the pay scale on par with that of the...

ORDER1. Though the discussion under the controversy has fallen on quite a specious and expanded field still the point involved is very short one and, therefore, it is in that smaller field that this petition can be conveniently disposed of. Since, however, the learned Counsel for the petitioners, argued some other points in deference only a passing reference to these points would suffice the purpose. This is more so since the petitioners are bound to succeed on the short premises that is avalable on the record which appears to be unassailable.2. Only a short narration of the facts would suffice the purpose. The petitioners are a limited company inter alia dealing in manufacture of electrical cables. They have their registered office outside the State. The 1st respondent is the authority acting under the Major Ports Trusts Act and the 2nd respondent is the authority acting under the Customs Act. Respondent No. 3 is the Union of India. The petitioners through their indenting agents viz.,...

Court: Mumbai

Reported in: 1989(3)BomCR240

R.A. Jahagirdar, J.1. The order of externment dated 29th of October, 1988 passed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Thane, and confirmed by the Government of Maharashtra in an appeal preferred by the externee, is challenged in this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner is the externee.2. The order of externment passed under section 56(i)(b) of the Bombay Police Act was naturally preceded by a notice given under section 59 of the said Act. Mr. Chitnis, the learned Advocate appearing in support of the petition, has challenged the order of externment on the ground that the said order has taken into consideration a factor of which the petitioner has not been given notice under section 59 of the Bombay Police Act. The contention is well-founded, as we will show shortly. In order to understand the same, however, it is necessary to first notice the relevant provisions of the Act and thereafter the contents of the notice and the order of externment.3. Secti...
