Harphool Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan and ors.

Court: Rajasthan

Decided on: Aug-25-1980

Reported in: AIR1981Raj8

ORDERGuman Mal Lodha, J.1. 'Mahar-Manu' Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar's success in providing 'reservation'; 'for' poor and downtrodden, 'Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes', who are centuries old sufferers of oppression and repression, suppression and consequent depression, and who have been, ruthlessly crushed and brushed aside, by the society; have been undermined, by ingenuity of superminds. Dr. Ambedkar, was Mahar-Manu, because he was 'Mahar' by birth and by drafting the great Indian Constitution, he rose to the heights of 'Manu'. Mahrishi Manu again was a Non Brahmin who gave 'Manu Smriti' and formulated Hindu social laws, giving emphasis to (i) the protection of women (ii) Protection of the weak (iii) the equality of man etc. It is in this context, that I have called Dr. Ambedkar 'Mahar Manu' of the modern free India.2. This case is a typical example of the same ingenuity, where a 'Jat' (non Scheduled Caste & Tribes) student could successfully usurp the 'reservation' quota in 'Medical C...

Ashok Dev Vs. Bishan Swarup

Court: Rajasthan

Decided on: Aug-20-1980

Reported in: 1980WLN(UC)332

K.S. Sidhu, J.1. This application purports to have been filed under Section 482 Cr. PC for quashing the order dated November 13, 1978, whereby the learned Magistrate took cognizance of offences punishable under Sections 427 and 448 IPC on a police report in accordance with the provisions of Section 190(1)(b) Cr. PC.2. The application is wholly unusual. It will be seen that the impugned order is revisionable order under Sections 397 and 401 Cr. PC and as inch it was open to the petitioner to challenge it by way of a petition of revision before this Court or in the Court of Sessions. The law is well settled that if there is a specific remedy provided in law, the aggrieved party must take recourse to that remedy In that view of the matter the petitioner cannot legitimately invoke the extra-ordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 Cr. PC to challenge the order in question which as already stated is a revisable order under the Code of Criminal Procedure.3. In substance, the pre...
