A.A. Cazi, J.1. The petitioner was the plaintiff in Regular Civil Suit No. 52 of 1974 in the Court of the Civil Judge, Junior Division, Gadhinglaj. Respondent No. 1 and one Bhima Dhondi Patil were the two defendants. Bhima Dhondi Patil died during the pendency of the suit on 2nd May, 1983. An application was made on 23rd April, 1984 to the trial Court on behalf of the petitioner bringing the heirs and legal representatives of the deceased on record. The Civil Judge, Junior Division, Gadhinglaj rejected that application by his order dated 12th July, 1984.2.

Reported in: 1992(2)BomCR615; [1992(65)FLR941]; (1993)ILLJ642Bom; 1992(1)MhLj483

1. The short question that arises for my decision in the present petition is whether the Cricket Club of India is covered by the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 (hereinafter, 'the Act') 2. Section 1(4) of the Act provides that, 'It shall apply, in the first instance, to all factories (including factories belonging to the Government) other than seasonal factories.' The above provision, therefore, makes the Act applicable to factories. 3. Section 2(12) of the Act defines factories in the following terms :- ''factory' means any premises including the precincts thereof - (a) whereon ten or more persons are employed for wages on any day of the preceding twelve months, and in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried on with the aid of power or is ordinarily so carried on, or (b) whereon twenty or more persons are employed or were employed for wages on any day of the preceding twelve months, and in any part of which a manufacturing process is being carried on without t...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-07-1992

Reported in: 1992(3)BomCR560

A.A. Cazi, J.1. The trial Court by its order dated 1st December, 1983 refused to frame an issue as to whether the plaintiff's (present petitioners) prove that the suit land is leased to the plaintiff's and defendant No. 6 is a joint family and that they were in possession of the suit land as tenants. It is against this order of refusal to frame that issue, the petitioners (original plaintiff's) have filed the present writ petition.2. It is urged that the plaintiff's made a specific claim in their plaint that they were the tenants in respect of the suit land having taken lease of the same from respondent No. 1 and that this tenancy was prior to 1st April 1957 and that since this claim has been denied by respondent No. 2, the reliefs claimed by the petitioners in that suit cannot be decided without deciding upon this claim made by the petitioners and that therefore the trial Court was bound to frame the above said issue and then refer the same to the Tenancy Court under the provisions of...

Dattatraya J. Shinde Vs. Sau. Sunita D. Shinde

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-07-1992

Reported in: I(1992)DMC541

S.W. Puranik, J.1. The appellant herein is the original respondent in a proceeding under Section 125 of Criminal Procedure Code presented by respondent-Sunita (Original petitioner) before the trial Court. The trial Court, after recording of evidence, has concluded that the wife-Sunita is entitled to maintenance of Rs. 250/- per month and directed the husband to pay her the same accordingly. Feeling aggrieved thereby, the husband-Dattatraya has preferred this appeal.2. At the time when this appeal was admitted, the appellant-husband had also prayed for stay of recovery proceedings in respect of the maintenance amount awarded. It was contended that the appellant is a washerman and is undergoing financial stringency. He carries on small laundry business in a small town and is, therefore, unable to pay Rs. 250/- per month to the wife. This Court, by order dated 7th February 1991 passed in Civil Application No. 223 of 1991, directed that an amount of Rs. 150/- per month, instead of Rs. 250/...
