The State of Maharashtra Vs. ImmauddIn Abdul Kasim Pathan and Others

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jan-13-2014

Oral Judgment: (P.V. Hardas, J.) 1 It appears that that while admitting this appeal, this Court had kept the appeal, as against the original accused no.3, in dormant file as the original accused no.3 could not be served with the notice of admission of the appeal. This appeal insofar as it questions the acquittal of the original accused nos.1 and 2 stood dismissed by the order of this Court. 2 Since this appeal of 1993 has remained pending since 1993 for want of service to respondent no.3, we asked the learned APP to examine the merits of the appeal and accordingly to argue the matter on merits. 3 This appeal has been filed by the appellant-state questioning the correctness of the judgment of 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Nashik dated 13 November 1992 acquitting the respondents accused nos.1,2 and 3 for an offences punishable under Section 20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (NDPS Act). 4 It appears that the Trial Court had acquitted accused as the prosecutio...

Dinesh Waghmare and Another Vs. Gulshan Bahu Uddeshiya and Another

Court: Mumbai Aurangabad

Decided on: Jan-13-2014

Oral Judgment: (S.C. Dharmadhikari, J.) 1. Admit. 2. We have heard the learned Advocates appearing for the parties. With their consent, we dispose of this appeal finally. 3. The only submission made before us by the learned A.G.P. appearing for the appellants is that in this case the Court was not required to hold that the appellants are guilty of civil contempt. There was no deliberate or intentional act and mere delay in disposing of the matter, within the time frame stipulated by this Court, does not necessarily mean civil contempt. Something more is required to be established and proved and therefore held before such a finding is rendered. Further, in criticizing the conduct of the appellants, the Court was not required to use harsh language and observe that the attitude of the appellants was revengeful or in any way victimizing the original petitioner before the Court. 4. With the assistance of the learned Advocates appearing for the parties, we have perused the impugned order and...

Court: Mumbai Goa

Decided on: Jan-13-2014

Oral Judgment: (Smt. R.S. Dalvi, J.) Rule. Made returnable forthwith. 2. The petitioners are the owners of the property under survey no.85/3 of Village Utorda, Salcete Goa. A part of the land on the southern side of the property of the petitioners is being acquired. It consists of a road, four metres in width. Earlier the proposal was to acquire a six metres width road. In a fresh affidavit, the respondents desired to acquire only four metre wide road because that road joins the another footpath which is two metres wide on the southern side of the road. There is a nalla on the east of the road proposed to be acquired. Hence, a two metres wide culvert had been constructed. The acquisition of the further road would necessitate the construction of another culvert or broaden the existing culvert. 3. The road from the petitioners' property continues south and later towards the west to join the main road on the west. There are a number of houses in that patch. The construction of such road w...
