Mr. Sahadat HussaIn Rahimat Vs. the State of Maharashtra

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-17-2011

ORAL JUDGEMNT:1. This appeal filed under Section 374(2) of Cr. P. C. is directed against the order of conviction and sentence for the offences punishable under Sections 396, 449 and 324 of IPC passed by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Gr. Bombay, in Sessions Case Nos. 504 of 1997 and 579 of 1997. Initially accused no. 4 was absconding and, therefore, the charge- sheet was filed only against accused nos.1 to 3 and on committal, Sessions Case No. 504 of 1997 came to be registered. However, accused no. 4 was arrested on 5/2/1997 and a supplementary charge-sheet was filed and thus one more case i.e. Sessions Case No. 579 of 1997, arising from the very same CR No. 2 of 1996 came to be registered. Both the cases have been decided by the impugned common judgment and order and only accused no.1 has been held to be guilty for the offence punishable under Section 302 of IPC. During the trial, accused no.3 died on 6/7/2001 and accused nos.2 and 4 came to be acquitted. We are, therefore, require...

M/S.Advani Oerlikon Ltd. Vs. Machindra Govind Makasare and ors.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-17-2011

:1. The issue whether an appeal can lie under clause 15 of the Letters Patent against a decision of a Single Judge rendered in a Petition invoking Articles 226 and/or 227 of the Constitution has defied conclusive judicial pronouncement. In a sense, this is reflective as much of the ingenuity of the Bar as it is of the expansive constitutional philosophy of vesting jurisdiction in the High Court to issue writs that remedy injustice. The ruling, which this Full Bench is called upon to render, is guided by pronouncements of the Supreme Court, of Special Benches as well as Full Benches of this Court. That the question of the maintainability of an appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent in such cases continues to arise with such persistence provides a sobering reflection of the limits of the law in providing black letter solutions. We must recognise that the broad and wide categories that the founding fathers of the Constitution created while conferring jurisdiction on constitutional ...
