Reported in: AIR2004Raj96; RLW2004(2)Raj957

Shiv Kumar Sharma, J.1. In the instant matters that were taken up for final disposal with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, the petitioners sought to quash the award dated April 2, 2003 of the Permanent Lok Adalat Tonk, made under Sub-section (8) of Section 22C of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 (for short the Act) whereby the Municipal Council Tonk was directed to discontinue the operation of slaughter house situated near Jaipur- Kota National High-Way No. 12.2.

If the parties do not arrive at a settlement, or compromise, the case is either returned to the court of law or the parties are advised to seek remedy in a court of law, This caused unnecessary delay in dispensation of justice.

The appellant in the instant appeal seeks to quash the order dated August 26, 2003 of the learned Single Judge, whereby the writ petition submitted under Article 227 of the Constitution of India invoking supervisory jurisdiction of this Court was dismissed.2. We have heard Mr. R. S. Rathore, learned counsel and scanned the material on record. Three Judge Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Sadhna Lodh v. National Insurance Co. Ltd., (2003) 3 SCC 524 : (AIR 2003 SC 1561) indicated that the supervisory Jurisdiction conferred on the High Court under Article 227 of the Constitution is confined only to see whether an Inferior Court or tribunal has proceeded within its parameters and not to correct an error apparent on the face of record, much less of an error of law. In exercising the supervisory power under Article 227 of the Constitution, the High Court does not act as an appellate Court or a tribunal.3.

Court: Rajasthan

Decided on: Oct-14-2003

Reported in: RLW2004(1)Raj445

Prasad, J. 1. This bunch of revision petitions have been filed by the State Government aggrieved by the orders of Tax Board wherein principally on the ground of absence of mens rea, the Tax Board has been persuaded to discharge the respondent from the liability of penalty imposed by the assessing authority and upholding the same by Dy. Commissioner (Appeals) [appellate authority].2. The question regarding mensrea has already been adjudicated by this Court in M/s. Mutha Premraj v. Asstt. Commercial Tax Officer and Ors. (1), and another following various decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and discussing them in detail. It has been held in this case that the presence of mens rea is not, a sine qua non, for levying penalty in case of violation of statutory provisions. In these revision petitions, I would have straightway held them to be covered by the decision given in Mutha Premraj (supra) but learned counsel for the respondents submitted that the decision given in Mutha Premraj (supr...

Balia, J.1. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties.2. This appeal is directed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge dated 10.4.2003, rejecting the writ petition filed by the petitioner on (he ground that he had an alternative remedy of filing appeal before the Deputy Commissioner, Commercial Taxes against the assessment order.3. The appellant has urged before the learned Single Judge that in view of the fact that the superior Tribunal viz., the Rajasthan Tax Board has already decided the issue against the assessee in another case, the pursuit of the alternative remedy could have been a futile exercise and the matter would again come to the High Court by going through the appeal in a mechanical manner, therefore, the alternative remedy, in the present case, is not an efficacious remedy. In this connection, he drew attention to the decision of the Rajasthan Tax Board rendered in Udaipur Dugdh Utpadak Sahakari Sangh Ltd., Udaipur v. Commercial Taxes Officer, Special ...
