Ramesh Balaji Ekhande Vs. Namdeo Ganpat Gite and Others

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-17-2012

Oral Judgment: 1. Heard Mr.Thorat learned Counsel for the Appellant and Mr.Nighot for Respondent No.1. 2. A short contention of Advocate Thorat on behalf of the Appellant (Original Plaintiff No.5) is that the impugned Judgment dated 17.3.2008 passed by the District Judge 3 Nasik in Civil Appeal No. 125 of 1996 remitting the controversy back to the trial Court is perverse and shows total non-application of mind. He submits that the Appeal arises out Special Civil Suit No.57 of 1990 which has been disposed of finally on 1.2.1996 after recording of compromise. Thus, against the compromise decree Regular Civil Appeal was not maintainable. He has taken the Court through the relevant provisions to substantiate his contentions. In alternative and only to demonstrate that the controversy is now rendered infructuous and remand is only an empty formality, he has also invited attention of the Court to necessary facts. 3. Learned counsel Nighot has submitted that Respondent No.1 is one of the Plai...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-17-2012

Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, J. In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 49(1)(ah) of the Advocates Act, 1961, the Bar Council of India framed Rule 49 under which there is a prohibition on an Advocate being a full time salaried employee of any person, government, firm, corporation or concern, so long as he or she continues to practise. Upon taking such employment, an Advocate is required to intimate that fact to the Bar Council on whose rolls the name appears. Thereupon, such a person would cease to practise as an Advocate so long as he continues in employment. An exception was engrafted into Rule 49 as it was originally framed in regard to a Law Officer of the Central Government or the Government of a State or of any public corporation or body constituted by the State who is entitled to be enrolled under the rules of the State Bar Council made under Section 28(2)(d) read with Section 24(1)(e) despite being a full time salaried employee. The Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa framed rul...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-17-2012

Oral Judgment: Heard finally by consent. 2. The Appeal is under Section 10-F of the Companies Act, 1956 filed by the original Respondent, as the learned Member, Company Law Board, while adjourning the matter to file reply and rejoinder, directed the Respondent/company to maintain status-quo in immovable property and shareholding, without assigning any specific reason, which is impermissible. The matter was adjourned to 18.09.2012 for further arguments. It appears that the matter could not be heard. The order is dated 5.7.2012. The reasons are must, even while passing such interlocutory order which ultimately affects the rights of the Company to run its day to day affairs. 3. The Appeal so filed against such interlocutory order, in my view, is not maintainable. However, in view of above unreasoned order, I am inclined to dispose of the Appeal by observing that the Hon.
