Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-14-1992

Reported in: 1992(3)BomCR28; (1992)94BOMLR105; [1993]77CompCas54(Bom)

K. Sukumaran, J.1. This writ petition seeks to challenge an interlocutory order of injunction passed by the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (hereinafter referred to as 'the Commission') in I.T.A. No. 50 of 1991 in UTPE No. 157 of 1991 dated December 12, 1991, as evidenced by exhibit F. 2. The petitioner is the sole proprietor of Jyothi Laboratories operating from Borivli, Bombay. Another operator in the same field but in the far South-Coimbatore is the third respondent. The two entrepreneurs have come to legal blows over the quality of the blue they manufacture. 'Ujala' manufactured by the petitioner sought coverage, among other things, through magnetic media - Doordarshan. That is per se not objectionable. There is, even if in restricted areas, at least a partial survival of the Darwinian theory of survival of the fittest. However, hitting below the belt is indeed immoral. Such was the allegation made by the third respondent against the petitioner before the seco...

S.P. Kurdukar, J.1. These two appeals and other connected matters which were heard together raise common question of law under the Bombay Stamp Act, 1958. We heard advocates for parties in all these matters and we propose to dispose of them by this common judgment.2. The common question of law raised in all these matters is as to whether a consent decree whereunder title to immovable property is conveyed falls under the definition of `conveyance' under section 2(g) of the Bombay Stamp Act, 1958 - hereinafter referred to as 'the Act', or an `instrument' under section 2(1) of the Act or such consent decree falls outside the ambit and scope of the definition of `conveyance' or `instrument' under the Act.
