Reliance General Insurance Vs. Pundalik Gurudas Ekawade and Others

Court: Mumbai Goa

Decided on: Mar-22-2016

Oral Judgment: 1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Mr. Dhargalkar, learned Counsel waives service on behalf of respondent nos. 1 and 2 (who are the only contesting respondents). Respondent no. 3 is served, but there is no appearance. The notice to respondent no. 4, who was ex-parte before the learned Tribunal, is hereby dispensed with. The petition is taken up for final disposal with consent of the parties. 2. By this petition, the petitioner, which is the original respondent no. 3 before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, is challenging the order dated 11.08.2015, by which application filed by the petitioner for taking the written statement on record has been rejected. 3. The brief facts are that the respondent nos. 1 and 2, who are the original claimants have filed Claim Petition No. 15/2013, which is pending before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Panaji, Goa.

Trimurti Balak Mandir Shikshan Sanstha and Another Vs. Vithabai Bhikan ...

Court: Mumbai Aurangabad

Decided on: Mar-22-2016

Oral Judgment: 1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith and heard finally by the consent of the parties. 2. The petitioner management has challenged the impugned judgment dated 1.1.2015 delivered by the School Tribunal, Aurangabad, by which the Appeal No.3/2009 filed by respondent no.1 employee has been allowed and she has been granted reinstatement with consequential benefits from the date of her oral termination, which is 23.12.2008. 3. After considering the strenuous submissions of the learned Advocates for the respective sides, I find that this case is a classic example of an unscrupulous employer exploiting a teacher employee, who has been working in the said school for more than five years. 4. The contention of Shri Godbole, learned Advocate for the petitioner management, can be summarized as under: a] Respondent no.1 employee was allowed to work only to gain experience as a teacher. b] She was inducted as an extra teacher only for the purpose of enabling her to gain experience. c...

Initially the complaints were registered under sections 188 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code as also under section 7 of the Maharashtra Prevention of Mal Practices At University, Board and other Specified Examinations Act, 1982.

Peter Agnelo Danney Estiberio Vs. Reena Colaco

Court: Mumbai Goa

Decided on: Mar-21-2016

Oral Judgment: 1. Heard. Admit. Mr. Agni, learned Counsel waives service for the respondent. Heard finally by consent of the parties. 2. The petitioner had filed Matrimonial Petition No.17/2013/B before the learned Civil Judge Senior Division, Panaji, Goa, against the respondent for dissolution of marriage. It appears that the said petition was dismissed in default on 31.10.2013. The petitioner filed Civil Miscellaneous Application No.72/2013/B, for restoration of the petition under Order 9 Rule 4 and Section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code. The learned trial Court framed two points, namely, (1) whether the petitioner has made out sufficient cause for not appearing before the Court on 31.10.2013 and (2) whether the application is barred by limitation. 3. Insofar as the first point is concerned, the learned trial Court has answered the same in the affirmative. However, on the second question, the learned trial Court found that the application was not filed within the period of limitatio...

Shankar Vs. Sainath

Court: Mumbai Aurangabad

Decided on: Mar-21-2016

1. The proceeding is filed to challenge the judgment and order M.A.R.J.I. No.16/2009 which was pending in the Court of the Civil Judge Junior Division Khultabad, District Aurangabad. The said proceeding was filed under provision of Order 39 Rule 2-A of the Code of Civil Procedure by the plaintiff. The trial Court has held the present petitioner guilty of breach of order of temporary injunction and the trial Court has ordered to send the present petitioner to civil prison for 15 days. Both the sides are heard. 2. The provision of Order 43 Rule 1(r) of the CPC was not made applicable to this State in view of the Bombay Amendment of 1st October 1983. It appears that there are conflicting decisions on the tenability of the revision against the order made under aforesaid provision. It appears that in cases reported as 1993 (1) Bom. C.R. 131 (Dry Chillies Brokers Association v. Dnyaneshwar Chamat) (Nagpur Bench) and 2002 (3) Bom. C.R. 593 (Vitthal Shriram Kharbadkar v. Pandurang Irbhanji Kad...

Court: Mumbai Nagpur

Decided on: Mar-21-2016

Oral Judgment: 1. In Land Acquisition Case No.25 of 1996, under Section 34 of the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation Act, 1968, the Reference Court has enhanced the compensation for dry crop land. The Reference Court has granted enhancement at the rate of Rs.30,000/- per hectare against the rate of Rs.15,000/- per hectare granted by the Land Acquisition Officer. The acquiring body is before this Court to challenge the enhancement so granted. 2. Shri Agnihotri, the learned counsel appearing for the appellant M.I.D.C, the acquiring body, raises the point that, there is no basis to hold that the lands in question were irrigated lands. 3. Shri Agnihotri, however, does not press the point regarding limitation decided by the trial Court on the ground that the Exh. 59 and the other documents placed on record shows that the notice was issued to the claimant asking him to remain present on 04.04.1994 to receive the amount of compensation. Thus, from 04.04.1994 the reference was file...

It further also prays for quashing the April, 2011 Guidelines [Annexure-C Page-60]. 2. The learned counsel Mr. R.R.Mantri appearing for the petitioner submits that, it is settled position of law that, while distributing public largesse, the same are to be distributed based on the criteria, which have nexus to the object of the particular grant by selecting beneficiaries for effecting transparent procedure. Any law made contrary to the above cannot stand to the scrutiny of test of constitutional validity, and would amount to arbitrariness.
