Court: Orissa

Decided on: May-05-1995

Reported in: 1995(II)OLR237; [2001]122STC259(Orissa)

P. Ray, J. 1. In order to accelerate the pace of industrial growth in the State and to attract industrialists to set up industries in industrially backward areas, the State of Orissa adopted a new industrial policy in 1980 (hereinafter described as 'the Policy of 1980'). One of the incentives provided for the said Policy of 1980 was regarding sales tax.2. For large/medium industries it was provided in the Policy of 1980 that :'Large and medium industries whether new or intending to expand or diversify shall be eligible for interest-free sales tax loan equivalent to the sales tax paid within the State by the units during the first five years subject to an annual maximum limit of 10 per cent of the capital invested, but not exceeding Rs. 25 lakhs per year. The loan shall be repaid after 10 years of each year's drawal.'3.

Rajaram Pattnaik Vs. Indian Metal and Ferro Alloys Limited

Court: Orissa

Decided on: May-05-1995

Reported in: 1996CriLJ732

ORDERA. Pasayat, J.1. This is an application for exercise of revisional and inherent jurisdiction under Sections 397 and 401, read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short, the 'Code').2. This is the second journey of the petitioner to this Court. Earlier the petitioner was before this Court in Criminal Misc. Case No. 1065 of 1991. From order dated 21-1-1992, it appears that the petitioner's prayer to quash the proceeding before the learned Judicial Magistrate, first class, Bhubaneswar (in short, 'JMFC') was not in essence accepted, and the learned counsel for petitioner wanted to withdraw the application stating that the petitioner shall raise objection relating to legality of cognizance under Section 408 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (in short, 'IPC') at the appropriate stage. The plea relating to quashing of proceeding on the ground of passage of considerable time was not pressed as is evident from the said order, because the only ground on which the appli...

Akhaya Behera Vs. State of Orissa

Court: Orissa

Decided on: May-04-1995

Reported in: 1996CriLJ334

A. Pasayat, J.1. These two appeals are interlinked as they are directed against the same judgment of conviction and sentence dated 1-5-1992 passed by learned Assistant Sessions Judge, Jagatsinghpur in S.T. No. 249 of 1991. Since the points for determination are common, this judgment shall govern both the appeals.2. The appellants, also described hereinafter as accused, faced trial before the learned Assistant Session Judge, Jagatsinghpur on the accusation of having committed offences punishable under Sections 457/395/392 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (in short, 'IPC'), and under Section 9(b) of the Indian Explosives Act, 1884 (in short, the 'Explosives Act').

Birla Tyres (Kesoram Industries) Ltd. Vs. State of Orissa and ors.

Court: Orissa

Decided on: May-03-1995

Reported in: (1998)IIILLJ623Ori

G.B. Patnaik, Actg. C. J.1. The short question that arises for consideration is as to whether an office-bearer of an association of employers can be held to be an officer within the meaning of Section 36(2)(a) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.2. In the case at hand, the so-called officebearer was the chairman and he was a lawyer. His right to represent the employer was rejected by the Tribunal on a finding that he is in fact an officer of the association of employers within the ambit of Section 36(2)(a) of the Act. In coming to the aforesaid conclusion, the learned Tribunal has relied upon the decision of this Court in the case of Kalinga Studios Ltd. v. Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal, (1994-II-LLJ-108), as well as the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Paradip Port Trust v. Their Workmen, (1976-II-LLJ-409). We have carefully read the decisions referred to by the learned Tribunal. The Supreme Court decision is quite clear on the subject inasmuch as in paragraph 16...

Court: Orissa

A. Pasayat, J.1.

Accusations relate to alleged commission of offences punishable under Sections 494 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (in short,' I.P.C). Petitioner's stand before the learned S.D.J.M. was two folds. Firstly, in the absence of a complaint as provided under Section 198 of the Code, there was no scope for taking cognizance. Secondly, the ingredients necessary to constitute offence punishable under Section 498A are absent, and in any event proper approach before the prescribed authority as stipulated under the Schedule to the Code having not been made the proceeding itself was nullity. The learned S.D.J.M. did not accept the contentions and directed continuance of the proceeding.2. The poi...

Court: Orissa

Decided on: May-02-1995

Reported in: 1995(II)OLR30

A. Pasayat, J.1. Petitioners call in question legality of direction given by learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Kendrapara for implection of present petitioners as accused in terms of Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short, the 'Code').2. Learned Public Prosecutor filed a petition to implead present petitioners as accused on the ground that evidence already on record clearly indicated their responsibility for offence, for which others were facing trial. Learned Addl. Sessions Judge found that though majority of the witnesses had not stated anything about the alleged role played by the present petitioners during investigation, yet their evidence in Court amply reflected their role in the alleged occurrence. That is why he directed their impletion.3. Mr. S. K. Sahu, learned counsel for petitioners submits that power under Section 319 of the Code is not to be exercised in the routine manner and there has to be careful analysis of material to arrive at an objective conclu...
