Reported in: 1991(56)ELT514(Bom)

Bharucha, J.1. The learned Single Judge allowed the writ petition filed by the respondents. He declared that the proviso to Excise Exemption Notification No. 193/81 dated 3rd December, 1981 was unconstitutional, illegal and null and void. He prohibited the respondents, that is to say, the Union of India and the Excise authorities, from acting upon the said proviso and directed them to refund to the petitioners the amount of excise duty collected from the petitioners on the basis of the said proviso.

As a result of the classification, a manufacturer who had paid higher excise duty on the raw material had to pay higher excise duty on the finished product whereas a manufacturer...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Sep-13-1991

Reported in: (1993)IIILLJ838Bom

B.N. Srikrishna, J.1. These are two cross petitions impugning the orders of the Labour Court, Thane dated 31st December, 1987, and the order of the Industrial Court, Thane dated June 27, 1989, made under the provisions of the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971 (hereinafter referred to as the Act). Though these petitions are described as petitions under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, in my view, the relief prayed for can be substantially granted under Article 227 and I have entertained them as such.2. Since these are cross petitions, instead of referring to the parties as petitioners and respondents, the petitioner in Writ Petition No. 3863 of 1989 shall be henceforth referred to as 'the employer' and the respondents 3 and 4 as 'the workmen'.3. The employer is a company manufacturing pigments, dyestuffs, intermediates for pesticides and chemicals etc. at its factory at Thane. The workmen were employed as Operat...

M.F. Saldanha J.1.

This order of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Pune, dated 3/4 July, 1991 disposes of the two Criminal Revision Applications that were filed before him in respect of a dispute concerning a small tailoring shop situate at CTS 269, Ganesh peth, Pune. Briefly stated, the premises originally stood in the name of Tukaram Shankar Kalbare, and it is also relevant to mention that the licence in respect of the disputed premises stood in his name. Tukaram died on 6-5-1985, after which on 13-6-1985 the licence was transferred to the name of his widow Sundrabai. It is more or less common ground that the widow Sundrabai is advanced in years and her age as shown in the proceeding is 85 years.

This writ petition challenges the order dated 4-6-1990 (Exhibit `B') passed by the second respondent Director of Education permitting the fourth respondent to open a new Standard VIII Class from 1990 onwards. Incidental reliefs also have been sought for. On 14-6-1990 rule was issued, with a direction for expedition. Ultimately it came up for final arguments on 22-8-1991. In the light of the arguments advanced at the Bar, we had our reservations about the supportive materials justifying the impugned order. A further affidavit was directed, by our order dated 22-8-1991, to assist the Court to advert to and evaluate the materials so called for. The affidavit has accordingly been filed. The petitioners filed a rejoinder. Arguments were continued on 9-9-1991.2. It is unnecessary to refer to the details of the contentions in view of the course we propose to adopt. We may, however, indicate even for that purpose, an earlier order (Exhibit `A') dated 9-7-1986 passed by the D...
