Smt. Sandhya Rani Sahoo Vs. Debendra Kumar Sahoo

Court: Orissa

Decided on: Sep-20-2000

Reported in: 90(2000)CLT744; I(2001)DMC224

ORDERP.K. Misra, J.1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel for opposite party. It appears that a proceeding for dissolution of marriage is pending before the Judge, Family Court. The present petitioner filed an application for payment of interim maintenance and litigation expenses which has been numbered as Misc. Case No. 124 of 1998. The grievance of the petitioner is that without disposing of such application, the Judge, Family Court, has proceeded to take evidence in the main proceeding itself. The second grievance of the petitioner is that one witness was examined on behalf of the present opposite party and cross-examined even though the Lawyer of the petitioner was not present.2. Both the grievances of the petitioner appear to be justified. In a proceeding under the Hindu Marriage Act, it is reasonable to conclude that application for interim maintenance and litigation expenses should be disposed of before the main matter is taken up for disposal on merit.3...

ORDERP.K. Misra, J.1. Heard Mr. Routray for the petitioner, Mr. S.S. Rao for opposite parties 4 and 5 and learned Addl. Government Advocate for opposite parties 1, 2 and 3. 2. This writ application is directed against the order dated 17.7.2000 passed by the Commissioner, Consolidation, Orissa, Cuttack. After perusing the order, prima facie, I was inclined to issue notice to the Commissioner to appear in person and explain as to under what circumstances, the Compromise was not recorded in the revisional Court in spite of the direction of this Court on an earlier occasion in a writ petition filed by the very same party and the matter was directed to be placed before the Consolidation Officer.

It has been held in the Division Bench decision of this Court reported in 73 (1992) C.L.T. 438(Raghunath Mukhi v. Chakrapani ...

Court: Orissa

Decided on: Sep-15-2000

Reported in: 90(2000)CLT570; 2000(II)OLR438

ORDERP. Ray, J.1. The writ petitioner has claimed that her husband Biren Mandal was seriously injured on the date of Supper Cyclone and ultimately died of the said injury suffered during super cyclone.2. Admittedly the State Government has declared that an ex gratia assistance of Rs. 75,000/- in case of death in the super cyclone will be given to the near relations of those who died in the super cyclone. The petitioner submitted her claim before the authorities for the said ex gratia assistance on account of death of her husband.
