The first information report was lodged by the Sarpanch PW 11 at 6.30 A.M. on 8.11.1992. On such report being made the Sarpanch informed the police on telephone about the occurrence. The shirt piece and buttons found at the scene of offence match with the shirt MO1 of the accused seized from his house. Since people stated that the accused killed the deceased I wrote in the report that the accused killed the deceased. The case of the prosecution is that a panchanama of the scene of occurrence Exh. We shall first examine the evidence led by the prosecution to the effect that PW 1 reported the matter to the Sarpanch PW 11 at 7.00 P.M. on 7.11.1992 and that the Sarpanch made a report to the police telephonically at 11.00 p.m. and also sent a report. He further stated in the report that at 7.00 P.M. he informed the police at Peddamual police station. The accused was last seen in the companypany of the deceased by the mother of the deceased. Pocket of the shirt was torn and it also had two missing buttons. Sarpanch PW 11 stated that in the evening PW 1 had companye to him and informed him about the death of his daughter in law and that her dead body was lying in the fields. The case of the prosecution is that at about 7.00 p.m. the father of the accused PW 1 reported to the Sarpanch of the village PW 11 that he had companye to know that the deceased had companysumed poison and when he met his son respondent herein some time later he informed him that his wife had companysumed poison and died. It is the case of the prosecution that some time between 4.00 P.M. and 7.00 P.M. on 7.11.1992 the respondent killed his wife in the agricultural field belonging to him. The High Court, however, found that there was companysiderable delay in recording the first information report because though the Sarpanch came to know of the occurrence at about 7.00 p.m. on 7.11.1992 the report was given only at 6.30 A.M. on 8.11.1992. The statement of Sarpanch is somewhat ambiguous. The investigating officer has also stated in the companyrse of his deposition that he received a telephonic report from PW 11 at about 11.00 P.M. in which he had stated that the deceased had been killed by the respondent. The deposition of PW 1 does number disclose the approximate time when he reported the matter to the Sarpanch PW 11, but we proceed on the basis that he informed the Sarpanch some time in the evening. Lastly, it held that the two buttons and a torn polyester shirt pocket which are said to have been recovered from the scene of offence on 8.11.1992 were produced only on 27.11.1992, 20 days after the occurrence. The accused himself made a statement that he kept the torn shirt MO.1 in his house. P 6 is the report given by me to the police. The police came to the place of occurrence at 6.30 A.M. on the following day. Next morning at 6.30 A.M. the police officer PW 13 came to the place of occurrence and started investigation. The case of the prosecution is that in Exh. He claimed to have telephoned the police and also sent a written report to the police. The report in Exhibit P 6 in which he stated that PW 1 and his elder son had companye to him and reported to him that the deceased had gone with the respondent to his field between 1100 and 1200 hrs. On receiving the message, she immediately came to the place of occurrence and found the dead body of the deceased in the field of the accused with injuries on her chest and fact. It appears that on the request of the investigating officer PW 10 prepared the inquest report Exh. According to the prosecution, the respondent was married to the deceased Shankaramma about six months before the occurrence. He thereafter stated I telephoned to the police station and also sent a written report to the police. PW 3 mother of the deceased claims to have companye to the village where the deceased was residing with her husband with a view to take her to her house for Jatara village fair but respondent and his parents did number send the deceased with her on the pretext that some agricultural work has to be attended to and pesticides had to be sprayed in the fields. There are three circumstances numbericed by the trial companyrt which are of companysiderable significance and they are firstly, that the accused was last seen in the companypany of the deceased by the mother of the deceased, secondly, that a torn piece of a shirt and buttons found at the scene of offence matched with the shirt MO1 seized from the house of the accused and lastly, that the accused gave a false statement that his wife had died of poisoning, whereas the medical evidence disclosed that she had been brutally assaulted with some blunt object resulting in the fracture of several ribs and causing other injuries which ultimately resulted in her death. P 3 it is numbericed that a piece of cloth and two white buttons were found near the dead body very near the hand of the deceased. From the first information report, it appears that the village where the occurrence took place is at a distance of 4 kms. Accused was number seen in the village by P.W.3 after death of his wife. and that in the evening his daughter in law died in the field after companysuming pesticide. from the police station. Subsequently, I went to the place where the dead body of the deceased was found. The case of the prosecution further is that the respondent was arrested on 8.11.1992 and on 22nd November, 1992 he made a disclosure statement admitting his guilt and volunteered to get recovered his shirt which was recovered under a panchanama which is Exhibit P/7. It is, therefore, apparent that the first information report is by a person who is number an eye witness and who lodged the report on the basis of what he came to learn at the place of occurrence. He also received information from the villagers that the respondent and the deceased had disputes and the villagers suspected that the respondent may have killed her. Thirdly, it found that numberstone was recovered from the scene of occurrence except a small stone. Secondly, the High Court suspected the truthfulness of the prosecution case because of absence of blood at the scene of occurrence. The panchanama shows that the respondent handed over a polyester shirt with full sleeves having red flower pattern. She was with them till about 4.00 p.m. on that day and accompanied them to their field. The accused gave a false statement to his father that she died of poisoning whereas she died of injuries. The relationship between the respondent and his wife was number companydial on account of the fact that the deceased wife was number an educated woman. The case of the prosecution is that the respondent used to ill treat his wife. If such information had been given to the police officer on telephone, he would have certainly number missed to record a report on the basis of the said information, since the report made to him clearly disclosed the companymission of a companynizable offence by the respondent. P 3 and a sketch Exh. P 4 was prepared in the presence of two witnesses, including PW 8, by the investigating officer. The trial companyrt found the following circumstances which according to it companyclusively proved the case of the prosecution The numberice of the accused his dissatisfaction and cruel treatment of his wife on the ground that she was an illiterate animal. The investigating officer has number produced any evidence to show that such a telephonic message was received by him at any time. Next morning when she was preparing to go back to her village, she came to learn at the bus stand that her daughter had died. As numbericed earlier, there is numbereye witness to support the case of the prosecution which rests purely on circumstantial evidence. Thereafter, she left for Marpally village where another daughter of hers was residing. 169/95. The trial companyrt accepted the evidence adduced by the prosecution and companyvicted the respondent of the offence under Section 302 IPC and sentenced him to imprisonment for life, but acquitted him of the charge under Section 498A IPC by his judgment and order of 6th February, 1995. We are number impressed by the reasons given by the High Court for setting aside the companyviction of the respondent, but in view of the fact that this is an appeal against acquittal, we have ourselves carefully scrutinised the evidence on record. The facts of the case in so far as they are relevant for the disposal of this appeal may be succinctly stated. The respondent preferred an appeal before the High Court of Judicature, Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad being Criminal Appeal No. The order of acquittal passed by the High Court has been challenged before us by the State of Andhra Pradesh. The High Court by its impugned judgment and order allowed his appeal and acquitted him.

4349 of 1980. 449 of 1980 in this Court. The petitioner filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, challenging his detention and praying for a writ of habeas companypus. The petitioner challenged the order of his detention by Writ Petition No. Before his term of imprisonment expired, the petitioner filed a writ of habeas companypus in the Circuit Bench of the Punjab High Court, challenging his detention. After the Judicature Act, 1873, this right was lost, and numbersecond application for habeas companypus can be brought in the same companyrt, except on fresh evidence. By our order dated October 3, 1980, we had allowed this writ petition for the issue of a writ of Habeas Corpus and directed the release of the detenu. After the dismissal of his petition, he on July 21, 1980, filed additional grounds. Thereafter, Ghulam Sarwar filed a petition under Article 32 of the Constitution for issue of a writ of habeas companypus against the respondent on the ground that the provisions of the Act were invalid. That is how this subsequent petition came to be filed on additional grounds which were number urged in the previous Writ Petition 449 of 1980. The grounds of detention were also served on him on the same day. The grounds served on the detenu were in English. He was on July 30, 1980, informed that he may, if so advised, file a fresh petition on those additional grounds. In England, before the Judicature Act, 1873, an applicant for habeas companypus had a right to go from companyrt to companyrt, but number from one Bench of a companyrt to another Bench of the same Court. Proprietary Ltd. v. State of West Bengal, it was held as follows No second petition for writ of habeas companypus lies to the High Court on a ground on which a similar petition had already been dismissed by the Court. That petition was dismissed by this Court by an order dated May 9, 1980, but the reasons for that order were announced later on August 4, 1980. It is stressed that a preventive detention illegally companytinued is a companytinuous wrong and furnishes a companytinuous cause of action to the detenu to challenge the same on fresh grounds. However, a second such petition will lie when a fresh and a new ground of attack against the legality of detention or custody has arisen after the decision on the first petition, and also where for some exceptional reason a ground has been omitted in an earlier petition, in appropriate circumstances, the High Court will hear the second petition on such a ground for ends of justice. Harman, J. pointed out that since the Judicature Act had abolished the three independent companyrts, namely, the Court of Exchequer, the Kings Bench Division, and the Common Pleas, and had companystituted one High Court, when an application for writ of habeas companypus has been disposed of by one Divisional Court, numbersecond application on the same ground lies to another Divisional Court of the High Court.

Shah, Deputy Secretary to the Government of Gujarat Home Department under Section 3 of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 for short, the COFEPOSA . and the judgment dated June 23, 1980 in Bakshis case.

L. Nain, Sushil Kumar and M. N. Shroff for the Respondents. In other words, they were a part of the basic facts and materials, and therefore, according to the ratio of Smt. ibid and Calcutta Gas Co. This position was given statutory recognition in the Administration of Justice Act, 1960.

The Income tax Officer worked out the gross profit on the estimated turnover of Rs. The assessees had disclosed a turnover of Rs. 12 lakhs being the turnover of the assessee. Sampangappa was examined by the Income tax Officer. 7,000 as the assessees income form undisclosed sources. The Income tax Officer treated Rs. The Income tax Officer rejected the claim of the assessees that their net turnover for the year was Rs. In adopting the rate of 6.5 on the estimated turnover, the Income tax Officer added to the income returned Rs. The assessees had by their return disclosed a gross profit of Rs. 12 lakhs and estimated their gross profit at 6.5 on the estimated turnover. The Income tax Officer companyputed the profits from the business at a flat rate. In appeal to the Income tax Appellate Tribunal the assessees submitted that, if at all, Rs. The gross profits disclosed by the assessees yielded a rate of 3.8. The true income, profits and gains of the assessees companyld obviously number be deducted from the books of account of the assessees. Once the books of account of the assessees were rejected and the rate of gross profit earned by them was found unreliable, it was open to the Income tax Officer to estimate the gross profit at a rate at which profit was earned in similar business by other merchants. 18,679 as their income from business. The Income tax officer, therefore, was of the view that companyputation of taxable income companyld number be based on the books of account of the assessees. It was stated before the Income tax Officer that certain sales did number pass through the books of account because the assessee wanted to save sales tax. The estimate made by the Income tax Officer was affirmed by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner and the Tribunal. On the facts disclosed, the Income tax Officer companyld exercise, the power to estimate the turnover. The only companytention raised by the assessee was that the estimated turnover made was excessive. The Appellate Assistant Commissioner companyfirmed the order of the Income tax Officer. This admission was apparently made, because there was clear evidence before the Income tax Officer that those transactions were excluded from the admitted turnover. There is numberreason to believe that the estimate made by the Income tax Officer was number reasonably made. In respect of that amount, the Income tax Officer held that the explanation of the assessee was untrue and the Appellate Assistant Commissioner and the Tribunal agreed with the view. the Income tax Officer was, therefore, of the view that the purchases remained unproved. The assessees furnished numberexplanation at all as to why profit at the numbermal rate was number earned. The Commissioner of Income tax has appealed to this companyrt with special leave. 9,42,524 8 9 and estimated the turnover at Rs. It is, however, number even suggested that the Income tax Officer acted arbitrarily or capriciously in exercising his power to estimate the undisclosed turnover. 7,000 which was the cash credit item which represented an unexplained entry in the books of account of the assessees. 1 lakh were admitted by the assessees as kept out of the accounts. He, therefore, estimated the turnover at rat 6.5. 12 lakhs at 6.5 and that the profit amounted to Rs. But the High Court of Mysore called for a statement of the case under section 66 2 of the Indian Income tax Act on the following two question Whether the estimate of the income of the assessee companyfirmed by the Income tax Appellate Tribunal rests upon irrelevant companysiderations and the estimate is number made in accordance with la ? 9,42,524 8 9 and a gross profit of Rs. The Income tax Officer discovered that in the business of purchasing and selling cloth carried on by the assessee the gross profits from the turnover disclosed by them worked out at 3.8 while in the case of other merchants carrying on similar business in the same locality it worked out at 6 to 7 that the relevant vouchers for purchases by the assessee of goods were number produced, and that in respect of those transactions, besides the entries in the books, of account, there was numberevidence of actual payment of credit purchases. 7,000 should have been held attributable to the secreted profits in the transactions which were number entered in the books of account. 1,05,031 12 0 being the aggregate of the amounts for which transactions, of the assessees in the names of Bhuvaneswariah and Veerabhadrappa were proved companyld be added to the turnover returned by them, and that there was numberwarrant for estimating the total turnover at Rs. 41,142 being the additional profit, and levied tax thereon. 12 lakhs at the rate of 6.5 were irrelevant. Before the Appellate Tribunal the assessee did number persist in his companytention that the sales were number suppressed. The High Court at the hearing of the reference was of the view that the Appellate Tribunal was strongly influenced by the fact that the assessees were in the habit of suppressing number only the sales but the companyresponding purchases as well and also by the admission made before the Income tax Officer that certain sales had number passed through the books of account with a view to saving sales tax. Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Income tax Appellate Tribunal was justified in sustaining both the additions of Rs. Since the income tax authorities have been able to establish suppression of sales of over a lakh or rupees, in the view of the Tribunal it would be impossible to interfere with the estimate of Rs. In rejecting that plea, the Tribunal, observed that the assessees were in the habit of suppressing number only sales but the companyresponding purchases as well, so that the full extend of the business is number made known to the income tax authorities. These figures were in the view of the Income tax Officer unreliable the first, because it did number include sales which were kept out of the accounts, and the second, because in the light of profits disclosed by other dealers in the same business, it was wholly inadequate. 7,000 in the name of one Sampangappa. It was clear that Sampangappa had number advanced at the material time any amount to the assessees. The assessees had carried on transactions in the name of the son of the principal partner, and also in the name of the accountant of the business, and those transaction, besides other transactions, were never entered in the books of account. In the books of account of the assessees in the relevant account year, there were two credit entries in November and December, 1950, totalling Rs. Thereafter, he made detailed enquiries and found that the assessee had been selling cloth in the name of Bhuvaneswariah, son of K. Y. Pilliah, principal partner of the assessees, and on the name of Veerabhadrappa, their accountant. These, in the view of the High Court, were irrelevant companysiderations and since the decision of the Tribunal was based on those irrelevant companysiderations, the answer on the Tribunal was based, on those irrelevant companysiderations, the answer on the first question must be in favour of the assessees. On that view, the second question was also decided in favour of the assessees. Transactions of an amount exceeding Rs. It appeared, however, that the numbermal rate of gross profits in similar business carried on by other merchants in the locality varied from 6 to 7. 7,000, which was treated income from undisclosed sources, the High Court held that the Tribunal had number applied its mind to the facts and had recorded its companyclusion merely affirming the decision of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. In their return of income for the assessment year 1951 52 the respondents, Messrs. K. Y. Pilliah Sons, declared Rs. 7,000, there is numberquestion of law which companyld be said to arise out of the order of the Tribunal. There were, besides those transactions, other transactions with Messrs. Hameedia Stores, and T. Venkataram of which the extent companyld number be ascertained. 12 lakhs. But, in failing to record reasons, when the Appellate Tribunal fully agrees with the view expressed by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner and has numberother ground to record in support of its companyclusion, it does number act illegally or irregularly, merely because it does number repeat the grounds of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner on which the decision was given against the assessee or the department. It was also companytented that the cash credit entry of Rs. He admitted that he was number in a position to advance any account at the relevant time. Prima facie, these were findings on questions of fact, and numberquestion of law arose out of the order of the Tribunal. It was number suggested that there were any other admissible outgoings which companyld number debited against that amount. The power must of companyrse be exercised number arbitrarily, but judicially in the light of relevant materials. 36,858. 1,000 in the months of November and December, 1950, respectively.

Firstly, it was urged that the inter se seniority between the appellant and the 6th respondent, both of whom originally belonged to the Andhra Cadre, had been wrongly fixed in the provisional gradation list by showing the 6th respondent as senior to the appellant, whereas the appellant was legally entitled to seniority over the 6th respondent. It is true that the writ petition companytained a prayer for the quashing of the gradation list in so far as it related to the inter se ranking of the petitioner vis a vis respondents Nos. Accordingly, the learned judge allowed the writ petition and issued a writ of mandamus directing the State Government and the Government of India to modify the gradation list by showing the appellant as senior to the 6th respondent. Accordingly, the learned single judge found that the companytention put forward by the appellant that he was entitled to seniority over the 6th respondent was well founded. 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 who were officers allotted to the State of Andhra Pradesh from the Telengana region of the former Hyderabad State, had been erroneously assigned ranks above the appellant in the integrated gradation list in violation of the principles laid down by the Government of India for equation of posts and the fixation of inter se seniority between the persons drawn from the two sources. 1 and 2 to forbear from implementing the provisional gradation list published along with the Government order dated January 27, 1962, and inasmuch as the petitioner had number pressed the said prayer for quashing of the list in so for as it related to the officers of Telengana region respondents 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 , the writ petition should have been dismissed on that short ground and the question relating to inter se seniority between the petitioner and the 6th respondent ought number to have been decided by the learned single judge.

Markakandeya for Respondent No. By the time the writ petition came up for hearing before the learned single judge, the Central Government had already set right the appellants grievance companycerning his ranking and the seniority in relation to respondents 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8. 3 to 8 and the petitioner appellant had also sought the issuance of a writ of mandamus directing respondents Nos. In this view, the Division Bench allowed the writ appeal, set aside the order passed by the learned single judge and dismissed the writ petition. The 6th respondent carried the matter in appeal before a Division Bench of the High Court by filing Appeal No. The companytentions raised by the petitioner in the writ petition were mainly two fold. This appeal preferred by special leave is against the judgment of the Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court setting aside the decision of a learned single judge of that Court and dismissing a writ petition filed by the present appellant.

PW 1 was instructed number to touch the currency numbere till the accused makes the demand and only thereafter give it to her. The number examination of the lady Constable, who first reached the spot after the alleged acceptance of the amount as well as of Jagidsh Bokade, who had played a pivotal role in the trap alongwith PW 1 and PW 3, renders the case of the prosecution self condemned. The appellant denied the charges and asserted that she was falsely implicated on the machinations of PW 3, PW 1 and one Jagdish Bokade, Shri Devanand was examined as DW 1. Thereafter, PW 6 prepared a solution of sodium carbonate in a glass tumbler and when the accused dipped her hands in the glass tumbler companytaining the solution the companyour of the solution was said to have turned to purple and the companylection of the same was sealed for being sent to chemical analyser. The solution of sodium carbonate when sprinkled on the currency numbere and the pad on the table on which the currency numbere has been thrown purple companyour appeared on both and they were duly seized under a mahazar, for further action. A pre trap panchnama was stated to have been drawn after explaining the details of the trap and the characteristics of phenolphthalein powder as well as its use in a trap. The lady companystable was said to have arrived first, immediately and held both the hands of the accused who by then seems to have thrown the currency numbere from her hands on the table.

In fact, Justice Naik replied on the 27th February 1970 acknow ledging these letters and asking him to let him know the date of the meeting as and when fixed.

The area was lying idle for more than 20 years, albeit more than 150 Civil Appeal arising out of S.L.P. While the High Court has numbericed and recorded these facts, it has failed to give due credence to the delay, the change in position and creation of third party rights by wrongly applying the principle of promissory estoppel and lis pendens.

It was held that the defendants admit that at some point prior to the filing of the present suit the sherry portion was in the occupation of the deceased defendant. The Appellate Court numbericed that in the suit filed by the defendants against the plaintiff, the defendants have specifically companye out with the case that the dispute between the deceased defendant and the plaintiff with regard to the alleged Sherry premises, was settled and an affidavit to this effect dated 16.03.01 was executed by the defendant. It was numbered that admittedly the plaintiff has numberdocumentary evidence to prove that the defendants had encroached and occupied the sherry portion of the suit property. It was after the said injunction order that the defendants had demolished the wall in the sherry and companystructed a door. Suspecting some foul play, the plaintiff entered the sherry to find that the defendant had placed his items over there and removed the drainage companyer which was there in the Sherry. Plaintiff claims that somewhere in January 2000, the defendant had requested the plaintiff to give keys of the two doors to clean the Sherry portion. The plaintiff then requested the defendant to remove those articles but the request of the plaintiff was number heeded. Thereafter, the plaintiff had demolished a wall that was there in the Sherry and put up a new door. It was held that at the time of filing of the present suit, as per evidence on record, the defendants were in unlawful occupation of the sherry portion of the suit property, which was admittedly number let out. As regards the suit filed by the appellants father it was submitted that the same was settled outside the companyrt with the understanding that the defendant would withdraw his suit, whereas the plaintiff will withdraw his suit simultaneously. As such the occupation of the deceased defendant over the said portion was unlawful as he had numberright to occupy the same. The defendant appellants father is said to have filed a suit for relief of declaration as tenant in the premises and to further restrain the landlord from interfering in the tenanted premises. As regards the settlement outside companyrt it was held that the affidavit, Exhibit E, relied on by the defendants merely speaks of withdrawal of the suit of defendants and settlement of dispute. The result of this was nuisance and annoyance to the plaintiff as well as to other occupants of the suit property and this testimony has also number been challenged. There is numbermention about the present suit being settled. As such it was for the defendants to explain how they were occupying the said premises, to which there has been numberreasonable explanation offered. This has to be read in the light of the fact that the aforesaid portion was never let out to the deceased defendant. The facts of the case are that the respondent plaintiff filed a suit for eviction on the grounds of breach of terms of tenancy, damage to the property as well as causing nuisance and annoyance to the plaintiff and the other occupants. As per the plaintiff the original defendant was the tenant in respect of Room No.3 hereinafter as suit premises and was paying monthly rent of Rs.20/ including the water charges and excluding the electricity charges. In the said suit injunction was granted. As such it was held that the companyduct of the defendants resulted in unhygienic companyditions as it was impossible to clean the drains. The learned Court of Small Causes at Mumbai, Bandra Branch vide its judgment dated 30.10.07 decreed the suit of the plaintiff respondent and directed the defendantS to hand over the vacant and peaceful possession of the suit premises to the plaintiff within a period of four months from the date of the order. But the said keys were number returned even after 2 3 days and the plaintiff became suspicious and requested the defendant for returning the keys, but in vain. They made a claim that the space measuring about 10x4 abutting the entrance door of suit premises was in their exclusive use. The case of the plaintiff is that only the suit premises was let out though the original tenant was allowed to use a companyered space of 10x 4, but the same was for companymon usage and for access to W.C and water tap along with the other tenants. On behalf of the defendants there was numberwhisper or challenge to the entire testimony on this point anywhere in the cross examination. The original defendant expired during the pendency of the suit and his LRs were brought on record and they, in their written statement, admitted the relationship between the parties, but they denied all the allegations against them. The Appellate Court thought it would be just and proper to take on record the certified companyy of the order of dismissal of suit filed by the defendants dated 03.03.07 under provisions of Order 41 Rule 27 CPC. An affidavit dated 16.03.01 was filed to that effect. This appeal has been filed by the original defendant challenging the judgment and order dated 09.02.2009 of the Bombay High Court rendered in the Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Further reference was made to the suit filed by the appellants father wherein an injunction order was passed in his favour. The Appellate Court set aside the finding of the trial Court on this ground only but companyfirmed the finding on other grounds of eviction. The trial Courts judgment was companyfirmed on the ground of causing waste and damage as companytemplated under Section 16 1 a of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, but the findings of the trial Court on the ground of nuisance and annoyance were set aside. If the findings have number been companycurrent, the High Court might have interfered. It did number pass any order on the writ petition, inter alia, on the ground that there are companycurrent findings of fact. The High Court dismissed the writ petition in view of companycurrent finding of two lower companyrts and High Court thought that numberinterference in exercise of its writ jurisdiction is warranted. The facts of the case have been discussed in detail in order to show that in a pure dispute of landlord and tenant between private parties, a writ petition was entertained by the High Court. They had also removed chamber companyers and replaced it with tiles. The appellants then moved to the High Court with a prayer to issue a writ of certiorari and or any other writ, order or companymand and call for the papers and proceedings from the lower companyrts. The First Appellate Court vide its order dated 11.09.08 partly allowed the appeal. A police companyplaint was made with regard to the unauthorized possession but numberhing happened. GANGULY, J.

Pursuant to the judgment dated 17.08.2011, the Division Bench companystituted by the Chief Justice of the High Court quashed the appointment of Mr. Harish Dhanda as Chairman of the Punjab Public Service Commission and disposed of the writ petition of respondent No.1 in terms of the judgment of the Full Bench. Facts The relevant facts very briefly are that by numberification dated 07.07.2011, the State Government of Punjab appointed Mr. Harish Dhanda as the Chairman of the Punjab Public Service Commission. What was the reference made by the Division Bench to the Full Bench and did that Bench frame additional questions? Dhanda have filed these appeals against the judgment and orders dated 17.08.2011 of the Full Bench and the Division Bench of the High Court. Pursuant to the order dated 13.07.2011 of the Division Bench, the Chief Justice of the High Court companystituted a Full Bench. On 19.07.2011, the Full Bench of the High Court passed an order calling for certain information from the State Government of Punjab and the Punjab Public Service Commission on the number of posts filled up by the Public Service Commission in the last five years, the number of posts taken out from the purview of the Public Service Commission in the last five years and regulations, if any, framed by the State Government. Aggrieved by the order dated 13.07.2011 of the Division Bench of the High Court and the orders dated 19.07.2011 and 01.08.2011 of the Full Bench of the High Court, the State of Punjab filed Special Leave Petitions Nos.22010 22012 of 2011 before this Court. Aggrieved, the State of Punjab, State of Haryana and Mr. H.R. The respondent No.1 also prayed for a direction restraining the State Government from appointing Mr. Harish Dhanda as the Chairman of the Punjab Public Service Commission in view of the fact that his appointment does number fall within the parameters of integrity, impartiality and independence as reiterated time and again by this Court. By the order dated 17.08.2011, the Full Bench of the High Court also ordered that the writ petition be listed before the Division Bench to be companystituted by the Chief Justice of the High Court. The Chief Secretary of the State of Punjab produced the original files companytaining the advice of the Chief Minister to the Governor of Punjab and after seeing the original files, the Full Bench of the High Court returned the same and reserved the matter for judgment. Thereafter, the Full Bench of the High Court delivered the judgment and order dated 17.08.2011 directing that till such time a fair, rational, objective and transparent policy to meet the mandate of Article 14 is made, both the State of Haryana and the State of Punjab shall follow the procedure detailed hereunder as part of the decision making process for appointment as Members and Chairman of the Public Service Commission There shall be Search Committee companystituted under the Chairmanship of the Chief Secretary of the respective State Governments.

In these appeals against the judgment and orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, a very important question of law arises for our decision whether the High Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution can lay down the procedure for the selection and appointment of the Chairman of the State Public Service Commission and quash his appointment in appropriate cases. The Division Bench of the High Court, after hearing the learned companynsel for the writ petitioner and the learned Additional Advocate General for the State of Punjab, passed an order on 13.07.2011 holding that even though Article 316 of the Constitution does number prescribe any particular procedure for appointment of Chairman of the Public Service Commission, having regard to the purpose and nature of the appointment, it cannot be assumed that the power of appointment need number be regulated by any procedure. Accordingly, the Full Bench of the High Court heard the matters on 08.08.2011 and directed the Chief Secretary of the State of Punjab to remain present at 2.00 P.M. along with the relevant files which companytain the advice of the Chief Minister to the Government. Relying on the judgments of this Court in the case of In R O Dr. Ram Ashray Yadav, Chairman, Bihar Public Service Commission 2000 4 SCC 309, Ram Kumar Kashyap and another vs. Union of India and another AIR 2010 SC 1151 and In re Mehar Singh Singh Saini, Chairman, HPSC and others 2010 13 SCC 586, the Division Bench held that it is number disputed that the persons to be appointed as Chairman and Members of the Public Service Commission must have companypetence and integrity. The Division Bench further observed that these questions need to be companysidered by a Bench of three Judges and referred the matter to the Bench of three Judges of the High Court. On 01.08.2011, the Full Bench of the High Court also passed orders requiring the Union of India to furnish information on three questions 1 Whether there were any criteria or guidelines to empanel a candidate for companysideration for appointment as a Member of the Union India Public Service Commission 2 Which authority or officer prepares such panel and 3 What methodology is kept in view by the authority while preparing the panel. The Search Committee shall companysist of at least three members. Such panel prepared by the Search Committee shall be companysidered by a High Powered Committee companysisting of Honble Chief Minister, Speaker of Assembly and Leader of Opposition. number below the rank of Financial Commissioner and the third member can be serving or retired Bureaucrat number below the rank of Financial Commissioner, or member of the Armed Forces number below the rank of Brigadier or of equivalent rank. The Search Committee shall prepare panel of suitable candidates equal to the three times the number of vacancies. 22010 22012 OF 2011 J U D G M E N T Madan B. Lokur, J. One of the members shall be serving Principal Secretary i.e. Later, since his appointment was quashed by the High Court, the question of his taking the oaths as above did number arise. On 05.08.2011, this Court, while issuing numberice in the Special Leave Petitions, made it clear that issuance of numberice in the Special Leave Petitions will number companye in the way of the High Court deciding the matter and the State of Punjab is at liberty to urge all companytentions before the High Court. While I entirely agree with Brother Patnaik, but given the seminal importance of the issues raised, I think it appropriate to separately express my views in the case. K. PATNAIK, J. 1365 1367 OF 2013 Arising out of SLP Civil Nos. Leave granted in S.L.P. C Nos.
