O. Chinnappa Reddy, J.1. Unfamiliar as I am with the history, tradition and the lore of the city and the High Court of Bombay, I content myself by agreeing with the conclusion of my learned brother that no appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent lies to the High Court against the order of a single judge of the High Court exercising jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution, no less and no more. I do not have any doubt that the reference to Section 107 of the Government of India Act, 1915 in Clause 15 of the Letters Patent must necessarily be read as a reference to Article 227 of the Constitution. So read an appeal under Clause 15 is clearly not maintainable against an order made in exercise of the power under Article 227. This is the view taken by all the High Courts in India except the High Court of Bombay, where alone opinion has not been unanimous.D.P. Madon, J.2. The question which falls for determination in this Appeal is 'Whether an appeal lies under Clause 15 of th...

ORDERP.B. Sawant, J.1. Leave granted.It will be convenient to answer the questions of law that arise in the present case, before we advert to the factual controversy between the parties. The questions of law are :(1) Has an organiser or producer of any event a right to get the event telecast through an agency of his choice whether national or foreign?(2) Has such organiser a choice of the agency of telecasting, particularly when the exercise of his right, does not make demand on any of the frequencies owned, commanded or controlled by the Government or the Government agencies like the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) or Doordarshan (DD)?(3) Can such an organiser be prevented from creating the terrestrial signal and denied the facility of merely uplinking the terrestrial signal to the satellite owned by another agency whether foreign or national?(4) What, if any, are the conditions which can be imposed by the Government department which in the present case is the Ministry of Informat...

ORDERB.P. Jeevan Reddy, J.1. Leave granted. Heard counsel for the parties.2. These appeals arise from a judgment of the Himachal Pradesh High Court disposing of eight writ petitions together.3. Katha is a necessary ingredient in pan and pan masalas. Katha is derived from the Khair tree. The central portion of the tree is used for this purpose. These trees are found in considerable number in the State of Himachal Pradesh. They are also found in other States but it appears that one after the other, various States have banned the cutting of khair trees, with the result that those intending to manufacture katha have been flocking to Himachal Pradesh over the last few years.4. Till the year 1975, katha was being manufactured in the State of Himachal Pradesh only by 'bhattiwalas'. Since the manufacture of katha requires extremely cold conditions, it is stated, the manufacture of katha was being undertaken in bhatties only during the winter season. In the year 1975, however, a mechanised unit...

ORDER1. This and connected writ petitions and transfer cases concerned the constitutionality of Sections 34, 35, 37, 39 and 144 of the Andhra Pradesh Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act (for short, the 'Act') abolishing hereditary rights of archaka, mirasidars, gamekars and other office-holders and servants like hereditary Karnam of Dwarka Thirumalai Temple in West Godavari District. The facts in Writ Petition No. 638/87 are sufficient for consideration of questions raised in this batch of cases.2. The petitioner is one of the Chief Priests (archaka) in an ancient and renowned Hindu temple at Thirumala Tirupathi known in entire south-Asia and abroad as Venkateswaraswamy temple and in north-India as Balaji temple in whose praise saint Annamacharya spent his life in singing devotional songs - a practice devolved by custom and usage from over a century. According to the petitioner, the office of archaka is succeeded from forefathers in accordance with the Vaikha...
