He claimed that Ramakrishna as the Karta of the joint family managed the family properties and acquired properties with the family funds from 1911 to 1946. his son and his grandson and these were also joint family properties. also claimed to be joint family property was mentioned in AI Schedule. The movable properties claimed to be joint family properties were mentioned in Schedule A2, while the house in Thiagarajapuram. He pleaded that of the properties mentioned in the plaint only 34.58 acres mentioned in the A Schedule formed the joint family property. He demanded a partition of all these properties and of the cattle and other movable properties owned by the family. The eldest brother, Ramakrishna became under the law the Karta of the family. Property to the extent of about 25 acres was acquired for the joint family between the years 1911 to 1931. He stated that the joint family properties companysisted only of 10 acres left by their father and about 25 acres acquired later on and denied that the other properties belonged to the family. He claimed also that between 1931 and 1946 Ramakrishna. had invested family funds in the name of his wife. It did number disturb the Trial Courts findings that Schedule D land acquired in the name of the 3rd defendant was joint family property, apparently because numberappeal had been filed as regards this property. In December, 12th December 1946 Narayanaswami sent a lawyers numberice to Ramakrishna in which he claimed that number only the 25 acres acquired between 1911 and 1931 but also the properties ac quired in the name of Ramakrishnas wife, his son and brother in law had been acquired with the income of the family and formed part of the joint family properties. Some property was acquired also in the name of Mangalathammals brother Raja Ayyar. The fifth defendant also pleaded that whatever stood in his name was acquired by him with his own money and did number form part of the joint family of the plaintiff and his brothers. These therefore were number part of the joint family property and companysequently number liable to partition. Between 1931 to 1946 properties in Vepatthur and other villages were acquired in the name of Ramakrishnas son Vankatarama, his wife Mangalathammal, his grandson Ven kataramas son Mahalingam. In a Schedule to his written statement he mentioned several other items of properties which he claimed belonged to the joint family though one of the sale deeds stood in the name of the sixth defendant Mahalingam and the other in the name of the fifth defendant Raja Ayyar. The plaintiff also filed an appeal challenging the decision of the Subordinate Judge that the house in Kumbakonam was a joint family property. The eldest brother Rama krishna was impleaded as the first defendant Mahadeva the third brother, was the second defendant, Ramakrishnas son Venkatarama. 14,000/ accumulated from the income of the joint family lands was surprising and untenable. After their fathers death in 1908 the three brothers companytinued as members of a joint family. In addition to some of the movable properties mentioned in A2 Schedule . His wife Mangalathammal, the fourth defendant also pleaded that the properties and the investments standing in her name were made by her on her own account with the monies which her husband Ramakrishna gave to her from his own earnings. As regards what stood in the name of his son Mahalingam the third defendant pleaded that these were with his own earnings. The Court also held that the mortgages and promissory numberes on which money had been lent in the names of defendants 3 to 5 belonged to the joint family with the exception of a few standing in the name of the third defendant Venkatarama which was held to be the third defendants personal property. 8,000/ in cash which the plaintiff had obtained on sale of certain lands also formed part of the joint family property. Mahalingam was impleaded as the sixth defendant. The third defendant Venkataramas case was that the purchases of land and investments of money standing in his name were all with his own earnings since he became Qarnam and did number form part of the joint family property. that the immovable properties mentioned in Schedules A, Al, B, B1., Cl, C2 and D as also Item 5 in Schedule B2 were all properties belonging to the joint family. Both of them earned well and have admittedly acquired properties for themselves out of their own earnings. Out of these he found that the properties in Schedule Al, that is, a house in Thiagarajapuram had been, given away to the sister Rukmaniammal and was numberlonger a joint family property and therefore number liable to division. Mahadeva who had to remain away at different places in companynection with his service demanded partition of the joint family properties and in this Narayanaswami also seems to have joined him. He thus claimed that number only the acres and 58 cents of land in the village Kumarakshi men tioned in the A Schedule which the first defendant Rama krishnas wife or son or grandson or brother in law were joint ties mentioned in the Schedules B, Bl and B2, and C, C1 and C2 and D for which the sale deeds stood in the name of Ramakrishnas wife or son or grandson or brother in law were joint family properties. The learned Subordinate Judge held on a companysideration of the evidence that the plaintiffs case that the oldest brother Ramakrishna managed the family property as the Karta from and after their fathers death in 1908 till the date of the suit had been established. It was only after the mothers death that he has taken up the management of the properties. As early as the thirties feelings became strained between Ramakrishna, the eldest brother and Narayanaswami the second brother. He further prayed for a direction on the first defendant to account for the management of the family properties for three years and for payment to the plaintiff of his share in the amount that may be found due. To this Ramakrishna replied on December 1, 1946. The second defendant Mahadeva generally supported the plaintiff though as regards the years, 1940, 1941, 1942 and 1943 his case in the written statement was that it was the plaintiff Narayanaswamy and number the first defendant who companylected the income from the join family properties. Ramakrishna had become the Karnam in Narasingampettai in 1902 and even during his fathers life time started acquiring property. The other defendants companytested the suit. He also came to the companyclusion that in about 1931 Ramakrishna had with him an accumulated income of about Rs. He claimed also in this numberice that family funds of about Rs. The first defendants case was that though on his fathers death he became in law the Karta of the joint Hindu family the actual management was carried on by the mother till 1940 and from 1940 till the mothers death in 1945 by the plaintiff Narayanaswami. When the father died the family was possessed of about 10 acres of land. his wife Mangalathammal and his brother inlaw Raja lyer were in pleaded as the third, fourth and the fifth defendants respectively. The rest of the properties, he held, was liable to be divided among the three brothers, the plaintiff and the defendants 1 and 2. 25.000/ was in the hands of Ramakrishna in the shape of cash and Benami investments. He also called upon Ramakrishana to account for the income derived from the family properties for the last three years at least. In 1927 Ramakrishna had been transferred to the bigger village of Vepatthur and companytinued to be there till 1930. Monies were also invested in loans in the names of Ramakrishnas wife. He further pleaded that a house in Kumbakonam town which was acquired by the plaintiff in his own name as also some lands in Manalur village in Kumbakonam and Rs. They are the seventh and the eighth defendants in the case. In the appeal preferred by the first defendant the High Court came to the companyclusion, disagreeing with the Trial companyrt, that the first defendant Ramakrishna had saved enough from his separate earnings from which it was quite possible for him to make all the acquisitions and investments in the name of his son, wife and grandson subsequent to 1930. The plaintiff prayed for allotment to him of one third share of these properties by division in metes and bounds into three equal shares. the Karta. But he had left some debts and one of the first acts which Ramakrishna had to do as the Manager was the repayment of those debts. On his retirement in that year his son Venkatarama succeeded him as the Karnam of Vepatthur. Three brothers, Ramakrishna, Narayanaswamy and Mahadeva., who are eighty three, seventy nine and sixty nine years of age respectively, are the main figures in this litigation. B2 and the house at Kumbakonam mentioned in the Schedule to the first defendants written statement, for three years prior to the date of the suit and from the date of the suit till the passing of the final decree. For these four years, he pleaded that the plaintiff was liable to render an account while for the remaining period the first defendant was said to be liable. Against this decision of the High Court numberappeal has been preferred and we are numberlonger companycerned with the question whether this house was plaintiffs property or number. As regards the properties in Schedule A it was, directed that the accounting will cease from the date on which the parties took possession of their share in accordance with the interim decree. 14,000/ belonging to the family and but very little money of his own,, From these findings it was an easy step to hold, as the learned Judge did. Against this decision the first defendant appealed to the High Court of Judicature at Madras. A preliminary decree was made by the Court in accordancewith these findings with a direction that an account be taken with reference to income of the properties in Schedules A, A1, B, B1, C, C1 and D and Item 5 in Sch. In all these he claimed a one third share. The third brother Mahadeva who was a boy a of thirteen at the time of his fathers death was put into the medical school and qualified as a doctor. Two other minor sons of Venkatarama were also impleaded. The plaintiffs case was short and simple. The present appeal has been preferred by the plaintiff against this decision of the High Court. Kalyana Sundaram, M. Rajagopalan, K. Rajendr Choudhry, R. Krishna Pillai for K. R. Chaudhuri, for respondent number 2. N. Rajagopal Sastri, K. Jayram and R. Ganapthy Iyer.

Respondent 2 Hardev Kaur is thus the widow of the deceased. Probate proceeding was companytested by respondent 2, widow of the deceased. 2670 in the probate as forming part of the estate of the deceased but companyfirmed the order of the probate companyrt in respect of special family pension awarded to respondent 2. By an order dated March 10, 1967, a special family pension was awarded by the President to respondent 2 Hardev Kaur being the widow of the deceased officer at the rate of Rs. On a petition filed by the petitioner, will of the deceased was admitted to probate. His survivors are the widow, Hardev Kaur respondent 2, his parents, the petitioner in this petition being the father of the deceased, two brothers and two sisters. The deceased was a member of a general provident fund to which he was making his subscriptions. 2670 awarded to respondent 2 Hardev Kaur by the President formed part of the estate of the deceased and under the will as well as the numberination he was entitled to companylect the same. Whether a special family pension awarded by the President to the widow of a deceased officer who belonged to Air Force companyld be the subject matter of a testamentary disposition by the deceased in his life time, presents the companye problem in this petition. A special family pension stands apart, aloof and separate from a general provident fund set up under the Provident Funds Act, 1925. In the probate proceedings the petitioner, inter alia, companytended that over and above all other sums payable to the heirs and or numberinees of the deceased, the special family pension at the rate of Rs. Relevant portion of rule 74 reads as under Rule 74 A special family pension to the widow of an officer and special childrens allowance to his legitimate children under 18 years of age, or dependents pension to his parents or brothers sisters, may be granted if his death was due to or hastened by either a wound, injury or disease which was attributable to air force service, or the aggravation by air force service of a wound injury or disease which existed before or arose during the air force service, provided that Could the special family pension specifically awardable to the widow of an officer and in fact awarded to respondent 2 as widow of the officer, ever form part of the estate of the deceased ? Petitioner then filed a suit against the Union of India and respondent 2 for a declaration that the order awarding special family pension to respondent 2 widow of the deceased was illegal, unjust and improper. The deceased had never referred to his wife as either his dependent or entitled to any pensionary benefit. Further, during his life time the deceased had appointed by letter dated March 5, 1960, petitioner and Gurcharan Kaur, his father and mother respectively, numberinees in respect of his provident fund. Hardev Singh and R. S. Sodhi for the Petitioner. 160 p.m. and the gratuity of Rs. 160 p.m. By the same order she was also awarded gratuity in the amount of Rs. Panj Rattan Singh, 5081 GD P was serving in Indian Air Force. On his death the amount standing to his credit in the provident fund account and certain other amounts were to be paid to whosoever was legally entitled to the same. While disposing of both the appeals by a companymon judgment a Division Bench of the Punjab Haryana High Court modified the probate granted to the petitioner by including the gratuity amount of Rs. He had also numberinated his parents, brothers and sisters by letter dated December 10, 1958, to claim pensionary benefit which may accrue in the event of his death. By a subsequent companymunication dated January 29, 1966, he had declared his parents, two brothers and one unmarried sister as his dependents. 555/80. 7254 of 1980. Prior to his death he had made his last will and testament dated May 14, 1959, whereby he bequeathed absolutely and forever all his property both moveable and immovable to his father, petitioner herein, and also appointed his father as the executor under his will. The trial Court decreed the suit but on appeal by respondent 2 widow, the first appellate companyrt set aside the decree of the trial companyrt and the decision of the appellate companyrt was companyfirmed in second appeal by the High Court. It appears that his relations with his wife were far from companydial and actually he had filed a petition for annulment of the marriage which he had subsequently withdrawn with the result that the marriage was subsisting till the date of his death. He died in an aircraft accident arising out of and in the companyrse of his employment on June 17, 1966. CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Special Leave Petition Civil No. From the Judgment and Order dated 22 5 1980 of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Regular Second Appeal No. Hence this petition. The Judgment of the Court was delivered by DESAI, J. Both the parties preferred appeal under the Letters Patent of the High Court.

After citing case law, the learned Additional District Judge found that there was a substantial companypliance with the provisions of section 80 CPC.

The State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur had a branch at Bayana in the district of Bharatpur. On receipt of the message, the Head Constable in charge of the police station at Weir, posted police personnel to block the car on the road. Jugal Kishore Paliwal, the Agent of the Bank, was working in his chamber, while Bhagwan Dass Goyal, Head Cashier, and Suresh Chand Goyal, Assistant Cashier, were in the cash cabin at that time. The respondents admitted that they were arrested near Weir but they denied that they had any hand in the loot of the Bank. They snatched a black coloured companyfidential box lying on a nearby table, threw away the papers which were in that box and put the money in it. But the evidence of Babu Lal, the Station House Officer, Bayana, who was examined as a Court witness by the High Court itself, shows that the black box companytaining the money and the other articles was seized from the Ambassador car. The Police Officer there sent wireless messages to the surrounding police stations as also to police outposts. The incident which took place in the Bank, the attempt made by the offenders to escape and their pursuit by the police and the public, are but links in the same chain of causation.

They fired while fleeing and caused injuries to those who were bravely trying to surround them but eventually, the police and the public got the better of them.

Witnesses who had numberaxe to grind and had numberpersonal motive to implicate the accused on a false charge, have been disbelieved on feeble companysiderations. At about 1.30 p.m., on March 17, 1971, seven or eight persons looted the Bank. This, therefore, is a case in which the offenders were caught red handed near the place of offence while they were trying to escape. Evidence which is incontrovertible has been rejected by the High Court on suspicion and surmises. They also examined four witnesses to show, principally, the reason of their presence at the place of arrest. Mookerjee and Dr. B.S. By its judgement dated November 13, 1972, the High Court of Rajasthan has set aside that judgment and has acquitted the respondents. The High Court has rejected the whole of this evidence on the ground that the recovery memos cannot be said to be genuine and were prepared subsequently, that the knives and live cartridges were number produced before the Court, that the story that each of the respondents was carrying currency numberes worth Rs. K. Garg, A.K. If two views of the evidence were reasonably possible, we would number have substituted our own assessment of the evidence for that of the High Court in this appeal against acquittal.

number payment of electricity bill was companycerned, the GCM declared the appellant number guilty. The order made it clear that the GOC M G Area did number intend to interfere with the discretion vested in the GCM which was free to decide the matter in the manner it liked. The GOC M G Area accordingly remanded the matter back to the GCM for re consideration on the question of sentence to be awarded to the appellant on the first charge and whether the appellant companyld be held guilty on the second charge. The GCM on proof of the said charge sentenced him to forfeiture of ten years past service for purposes of pension. The GCM accordingly assembled again to companysider the matter and while sticking to the reasons given by it in regard to the first charge found the second charge also to have been proved. Aggrieved by the findings and the sentence awarded to him by the GCM the petitioner filed an appeal before the General Officer Commanding, Maharashtra and Gujarat Area hereinafter referred to as the GOC M G Area who happened to be the companyfirming authority also. Evidence adduced before the GCM eventually led to the appellant being held guilty for improperly claiming Rs.16,589.30 on account of transfer of his household luggage and car to Chandigarh. The evidence given by the appellant in his defence was also found by the GCM to be unreliable on account of material companytradictions in the deposition of the defence witnesses. The finding recorded by the GCM in regard to the second charge framed against the appellant was also found to be untenable by GOC M G Area as according to him the companyduct of the appellant fell within the ambit of Section 4E of the Army Act which made his behaviour unbecoming of an officer. The GCM took the view that the default of the petitioner companyld number be termed as companyduct unbecoming of an official subject to the Army Act to call for any penal action. The GCM found that the family of the appellant had companytinued to occupy government accommodation at Pune even after his posting to the field area and that the agency who is alleged to have transported the luggage and the car of the appellant did number exist at the given address. The GCM on that basis revoked the earlier sentence and sentenced the appellant to dismissal from service which order was after companyfirmation by the companypetent authority assailed by the appellant before the High Court at Bombay in Criminal Writ Petition No.489 of 1997 as already numbericed earlier. The GOC M G Area, however, took the view that the sentence awarded to the appellant on the first charge was lenient inasmuch as the offence companymitted by the appellant was serious and involved moral turpitude. In its opinion the appellant had never refused to pay the electricity bill which was at any rate a matter between him and the Maharashtra State Electricity Board. eight thousand one hundred thirty two and paise thirty five only to Maharashtra State Electricity Board MSEB in respect of H No.12 B Kohun Road, Pune 1 which was allotted to him. In so far as the second charge, viz. It also numbered that the appellant had past companyvictions to his credit which ought to be kept in view. The companyrectness of the view taken by the High Court on the grounds urged before it has number been assailed before us except in so far as the High Court has held that the punishment of dismissal imposed upon the appellant was in numberway disproportionate to the gravity of the offence companymitted by him. The factual matrix giving rise to the disciplinary proceedings against the appellant and his eventual dismissal from service has been set out by the High Court in the order under appeal. This appeal by special leave arises out of an order dated 15th September, 1998 passed by the High Court of judicature at Bombay whereby Criminal Writ Petition No.489 of 1997 filed by the appellant has been dismissed and the order of dismissal from service on proved misconduct affirmed. Before the High Court several companytentions appear to have been urged on behalf of the appellant which were examined and repelled by the High Court while dismissing the writ petition in terms of the order impugned in this appeal.

The termination of the handling companytract of Airfreight did number require IAAI or the new licencee of IAAI to take over the workers employed by Airfreight. After the termination of the handling agency in favour of Airfreight, its employees were directly engaged by IAAI and received salary from IAAI. The said award was challenged by IAAI in W.P. IAAI had numberprivity of companytract, obligation or responsibility towards the workers employed by the Airfreight. The said memo of IAAI requiring the workers to form a society was a ploy adopted by IAAI to defeat the legitimate claim of the workers to permanent status to which they were entitled as they had worked for 5 to 14 years previously under Airfreight and thereafter under the IAAI who was the principal employer and after the termination of the handling agency of Airfreight, their workers became the direct employees of IAAI. M 21 is a letter dated 20/22.2.1991 from IAAI to the society for supply of companytract labour. The last finding is that there were three indicators to show that companytract labour for loading unloading were direct employees of IAAI direct payment of wages, direct penal action by IAAI against the companytract labour, and direct companytrol and supervision of companytract labour by IAAI. The Division Bench was of the view that when the Tribunal had recorded a finding of fact that the companytract labour were under the direct supervision and companytrol of IAAI, that they were paid salary directly by IAAI, that they were subjected to suspension and other disciplinary companytrol by IAAI, that the companytract between IAAI and the society was sham and numberinal, the companysequential finding that they were the direct employees of IAAI ought number to have been disturbed by the learned Single Judge. Thus they became the direct employees of IAAI from November 1985. Thus from 1.11.1985, Airfreight ceased to be the ground handling agent of IAAI at Madras Airport. IAAI and Airfreight were impleaded as respondents 1 and 2 in the said writ petition. None of them relates to imposition of punishment by IAAI as employer against any employee. Even when the workmen were working as companytract labour through the society, IAAI was exercising direct supervision and companytrol over them, directly paying wages to them and taking disciplinary action against them and all these showed that they were companysidered and dealt with as direct employees of IAAI and the agreement between IAAI and the society was sham and numberinal. Once the workers became its employees, IAAI companyld number change their status from direct workers to indirect workers. M 23 is a letter dated 14.5.1991 from IAAI to the society regarding duty roster. Both these documents relate to the period prior to 31.10.1985 when the workers were the permanent employees of Airfreight, and had absolutely numberconnection with IAAI. Any attempt by IAAI to appoint the workmen as companytract labour is illegal and would amount to an unfair labour practice. 28.1 We will first examine whether there was any material at all to hold that the wages were being directly paid by IAAI to the companytract labour. This again is of numberrelevance as it related to the period prior to the companytract labour agreement when the workers were working as casual daily wage employees directly under the IAAI. In that petition, the first respondent Union inter alia companytended that the IAAI had numbervalid registration of its establishment under section 7 of the CLRA Act and therefore the companytract labour namely the workers employed by the society should be treated directly employed by IAAI. In the said award the tribunal recorded the following findings The memo filed by IAAI in W.P. Therefore, by letter dated 19.9.1985 IAAI informed Airfreight that the ground handling agency operations should be handed over to its officers on 31.10.1985. These two documents were produced only to show that the IAAI had employed some persons as direct labour in its cargo department in Calcutta and Bombay Airports and had numberhing to do with the workers who were working at Madras. Sixth Round Again when IAAI invited fresh tenders, the first respondent Union filed W.P. Fifth Round In the meanwhile IAAI issued a tender numberice dated 19.11.1990 inviting tenders for the cargo handling work at the Air Cargo Complex. In the circumstances, the workers loaders and packers employed by Airfreight in companynection with the ground handling work, who were likely to be retrenched discharged, made an appeal to IAAI to provide them employment. 28.2 The Tribunal held that IAAI was taking penal and disciplinary action by suspending and punishing the companytract labour and that was proof of direct employment. M24 is a letter dated 2.12.1987 from IAAI to the society informing that there is numberimprovement in the attendance of the companytract labour, and requesting the society to take necessary action to improve their attendance. The High Court recorded the memo filed by IAAI and dismissed the writ petition on 12.12.1985, in view of the agreement expressed by the learned companynsel for Airfreight Workers Union. It was also required to pay a licence fee to IAAI, linked to the total revenue realized by it.

Not even a single document was produced to show that any numberice of suspension or show cause numberice for disciplinary action or order imposing punishment was passed by IAAI in regard to any of the companytract labour. The workers are number entitled to put forth a companytention companytrary to the proposal scheme of IAAI recorded by the High Court in the order dated 12.12.1985 passed in W.P.

Under the said agreement, Airfreight was to receive payment from the owners of the cargo for the work done, had to engage the services of required number of workers for handling the cargo and be responsible for payment of wages to the workers.

On the basis of these documents, the Tribunal has held that payments were being directly made to workers when they were companytract labours.

The companytract labour arrangement admittedly came into existence only from 1.7.1986.
