B.N. Srikrishna, J.1. This writ petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is directed against the order of the Industrial Court dated October 30, 1987, in Appeal (IC) No.50 of 1987 upholding the order of the Labour Court, Bombay, made in Application (BIR) No. 273 of 1986 dated February 26, 1987, by which the application was dismissed.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-09-1995

Reported in: 1996(5)BomCR434

E.S. Da Silva, J.1. Heard. I see no merit in this petition. 2. The grievance of the respondent No. 1 (hereinafter called 'the respondent') is that the petitioner has not so far drawn the 'Final Bill' in respect of the works carried out by them and that the Bill which was signed and wherein the respondent had confirmed all the objections raised earlier was not prepared according to law. The further grievance is that the objection raised by the respondent has also not been adjudicated by the petitioner in terms of Article 29 of the Contract and section 61 of the 'Lei de Empreitada'. Therefore the question of the respondent having been allegedly paid or fully paid by the petitioner all their dues for the work done is not the real issue in controversy.3. The petitioner contends that the Bill signed by the respondent is the Final Bill and whatever claims which were raised by the respondent have been already rejected by the petitioner by its earlier Resolutions dated 13th September, 1963 and...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-09-1995

Reported in: (1995)97BOMLR346

M.L. Pendse, J.1. The Claimants have preferred this appeal to challenge award dated June 29, 1987, passed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Pune, in Claim Application No. 398 of 1983. By the impugned award, the application for compensation was dismissed with costs. We must express at the outset that we are aghast with what the Tribunal has done. It surpassed our imagination as to how the Tribunal could have dismissed the application. The facts which gave rise to filing of the application for compensation of Rs. 3 lakhs by the appellants are as follows:The deceased Hasanali, aged about 53 years was the owner of a Taxi bearing Registration No. MTD 6740. It was a Fiat Car and was used as a Taxi for carrying passengers from Bombay to Pune and vice-versa. On September 9, 1993, the deceased started from Pune by about 5.30 a.m. and was proceeding towards Bombay. The Taxi was carrying passengers including one Bhise and Ashok Mahajan. Ashok Mahajan was sitting on the rear seat. The Taxi r...
