Court: Rajasthan

Decided on: Feb-04-1987

Reported in: 1987(2)WLN470

Guman Mal Lodha, J.1. These two typical cases of gross abuse of process of court where the prosecution has become persecution. Shri Durga Prasad Choudhary aged about 78 years, Proprietor and Chief Editor of Nav Jyoti is facing the charge of defamation for publication of news item regarding the Birla Public School. Prosecution evidence was examined and thereafter the accused were examined on 14th June, 1983 the case was kept for defence evidence, which was closed on 6-3-1984 and the case was kept for arguments and judgment. The arguments were not heard on various dates for some reason or the other and thereafter on 29th May, 1984 bail bonds were forfeited and non bailable warrant was issued.2. It is surprising that in a case of defamation after evidence of both parties had been closed and the accused had been examined and the case was in the process of arguments, this extreme step of issuing non-bailable warrants for the presence of the accused at the time of arguments was adopted by th...

ORDERNavin Chandra Sharma, J.1. This order will decide Civil Revisions Nos. 486 of 1985 and 352 of 1983 by this common order because in both of them common questions of law and fact are involved.2.

Commercial Taxes Officer Vs. S. Zoraster and Co.

Court: Rajasthan

Decided on: Feb-03-1987

Reported in: [1988]68STC89(Raj)

J.S. Verma, C.J.1. This was a reference which is now heard as a revision under Section 15 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954, as amended by the Amendment Act of 1984. 2. The question of law referred for the decision of this Court, is as under : Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Board of Revenue was justified in holding that the Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle I, Jaipur, was not competent to file special appeal because the assessment was finalised by the Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle II, Jaipur, whereas at the time of filing of special appeal, the Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle I was the assessing authority and the petition is presented by the assessing authority 3. There is no longer any dispute that the point involved for decision in the above question, is covered by a Division Bench decision of this Court in the case of Commercial Taxes Officer, Special Circle I, Jaipur v. S. Zoraster & Co. [1985] 59 STC 214, which inciden...

Commercial Taxes Officer Vs. Kamal and Co.

Court: Rajasthan

Decided on: Feb-03-1987

Reported in: [1987]67STC402(Raj)

J.S. Verma, C.J.1. All these matters are references which are heard and decided as revisions under the newly substituted Section 15 of the Rajasthan Sales Tax Act, 1954, as amended by the Amendment Act of 1984.2. The common question referred for the decision in all these three cases, is the following:Whether, the learned Members of the Board could allow costs to the opposite parties for verification of memo of appeal in the absence of any provision in the Act and where the provision of C. P. C. do not apply ?3. The above question which is the only point for decision in these matters, does not require any elaborate consideration. It is obvious that the power to award costs, is a matter within the discretion of the authority, and must, therefore, be accepted. In this regard, I find support from a Division Bench decision of this Court in the case of Commercial Taxes Officer v. English Wine & Provision Stores. Nothing is shown in support of the contrary conclusion. This power does not depe...
