Coldspot Represented by Its Sole Proprietor Shri AmIn Patel Vs. Naik H ...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-07-2008

Reported in: IV(2008)BC166

R.M.S. Khandeparkar, J.1. Heard. This appeal arises from the Judgment and Order dated 9.9.05, passed by the Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Panaji in Criminal Case No. 799/OA/2001/D. 2. By the impugned Judgment, the complaint filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (the Act, for short) has been disposed of by acquitting the respondents-accused of the offence punishable under the said section. The challenge to the impugned Judgment is essentially on the ground that the trial Court failed to consider that the cheques in question were issued towards the payment of rentals from February, 2001 onwards and considering the fact that such payment was made by way of cheques, there was presumption about existence of liability of the drawer of the cheques on the day when the cheques were issued. The trial Court having ignored this aspect of the matter, as well as the the presumption arising under Section 139 of the said Act in relation to the said cheques in favour of the appe...

A.H. Joshi, J.Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith and is heard by consent.2. According to the petitioner/management:--(a) The petitioner was appointed for the first time on 20-6-1994, the post was meant for reserved category candidate, however, the management did not mention the said fact in the appointment order.(b) After completion of two year's service, the petitioner was issued a fresh appointment order dated 24-6-1996, which admittedly mentions that this time, he is given appointment on probation of two years against a reserved vacancy.3. After termination, the petitioner preferred Appeal No. 202/1998, which was delayed by 7 months. Petitioner claimed that he had gained permanency and claimed the relief of reinstatement and backwages alleging that the termination is illegal.4. The appeal was opposed urging inter alia that:(1) as the post was reserved there cannot be any permanent appointment of an open category candidate against a vacancy meant for candidate belonging to particul...

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. Vs. Union of India (Uoi) and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-07-2008

Reported in: (2008)2LLJ657Bom

1. This is a writ petition challenging the show cause notice issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour and Employment to the petitioner to show cause as to why the legal action under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 should not be taken against him for non-implementation of the award in favor of the workman.2. It appears that before this notice a show cause notice had been given asking the petitioner to explain as to why he has not implemented the award completely. The petitioner replied to the notice stating therein that he had implemented the award. But it appears that the Government of India did not accept his contention that the award has been implemented and the Government of India issued a fresh order dated November 8, 2007 asking the petitioner to implement the award in full within 10 days.3. At this stage we do not find that this order gives any cause for the petitioner to come to this Court. He may, however, seek clarification from the Government ...

K.J. Rohee, J.1. Heard. Admit. Heard forthwith by consent of parties.2. The appellant was appointed as Peon on probation for a period of two years by respondent No. 1 by order dated 1-4-1991. It is not disputed that the date of birth of the appellant is 24-8-1953 and obviously on the date of his appointment, he was overaged. Subsequently by resolution dated 10-4-1993, the services of the appellant were confirmed as they were found satisfactory. On 26-6-1995, respondent No. 1 sent a letter to the Director, Higher Education, Maharashtra State, Pune, for condoning the age of the appellant. The last para of the said letter shows that the work of the appellant was satisfactory, that the appellant completed four years of service, that his services were required by the College and that if approval is not given, the Management will have to suffer financial difficulties. It seems that the said prayer was not granted. Thereafter on 6-9-1995, respondent No. 1 issued a notice of termination to the...
