Bilal Nazki, J.1. We heard these cases earlier and we came across the vigilance report which had been submitted in pursuance of the earlier orders passed by a Division Bench of this Court when the writ appeals were admitted. Since that report had not been made available to the parties, we thought it proper to hear the case again and give a chance to the parties to contest the report. Accordingly copies of the vigilance report were furnished to the parties who have filed their objections.2. The cases are before us in view of the orders of the Division Bench which referred the matter to the Full Bench, as it found that there were earlier judgments of this Court by Division Bench with regard to the same subject matter.3. In the first instance, we will deal with the writ appeals. Both the writ appeals have been filed against the judgment dated 17-7-2000 in W.P.No. 35618 of 1997. W.A.No. 1088 of 2000 has been filed by the State, whereas W.A.No. 1163 of 2000 has been filed by respondents 3 a...

1. These two appeals are directed against the common judgment of the learned single Judge upholding the remand made by the Collector of Medak at Sangareddy for enquiry to the second respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Medak relating to the validity of the claims of the respondents, while rejecting the claim of the appellants of both the appeals to the disputed lands. The facts relating to the cases are rather complex having undergone series of litigations including coming to this Court twice or thrice, for which it is necessary, for dear appreciation, to adumbrate those. Admittedly, the appellants in W.A. No. 847/93 and the respondents in that appeal, who are the respondents 3 to 7 in W.A.No. 1028/93, are claiming the land through one Surabhi Narasa Goud. The appellants in W.A.No. 1028/93 is claiming the lands through the original Inamdar of the land. For the sake of convenience, the appellant in W.A. No. 847/93 are referred in this judgment as appellants and the respondents 4 to 8 ...

Sivaraman Nair, J.1. This appeal arises from the judgment in W.P. No. 7412/92. Petitioner is the appellant. She assailed her transfer 'on religious grounds' from the posts of Principal & Correspondent of St. Ann's Degree and Post Graduate Colleges and Correspondent of St. Ann's Junior College for Girls, Mehdipatnam to the Generalate of St.Ann's Society at Guntur. The transfer was made by the 7th respondent who is the Superior General of the Society of St. Ann, Guntur. She replaced the petitioner by appointing respondent No. 5 as the Correspondent of the three colleges and as Principal of the Degree College and Post Graduate Centre and the 6th respondent as Principal of the Junior College. Petitioner assailed the order as devoid of jurisdiction, vitiated by malafides and as violative of the principles of natural justice. Those grounds did not appeal to the learned single judge. He therefore dismissed the Writ Petition. Hence this appeal.2. The pleadings in this appeal are voluminous. Th...

P.S. Mishra, C.J.1. This appeal has to succeed on the sole ground that although the order ostensibly is one of termination simpliciter, it is preceded by memo of charges in respect of which no proceedings have ever been drawn and no enquiry has been held. On piercing the veil, thus, it is found that the termination is not simpliciter as it purports to be, but it is penal and is visiting the petitioner- appellant with civil consequences.2. Facts in short giving rise to the instant appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent of the Court are as follows:- Petitioner-appellant was appointed as a Hindi Translator on 1-4-1989 and was put on probation for two years which was expired on 10-4-1991. Although, according to the petitioner- appellant, she performed her duties satisfactorily, she had certain complaints against her colleagues which were not heeded by the superiors and when some adverse remarks were made, she made representation for expunging them. Her probation was, however, extende...
