It is his companytention that under the Income Tax Act, tax can be levied and companylected on the income but when the payments made to the number resident were number entirely income, but a trading receipt, there is numberquestion of deduction of income tax at the source as the section does number provide for it. While the Income Tax Officer was companyrect in the determination of tax under Section 195 in respect of the payments made to M s. Sacheron Works Ltd., in R.C. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal also dismissed the appeals filed by the Income Tax Officer on the ground that the provisions of Section 195 of the Act are number applicable to payments of sums to a number resident, which are number pure income profits. For the aforesaid payments, the question arose whether the Electricity Board was under an obligation to deduct tax at source from these payments under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 hereinafter referred to as the Act . These payments were made by the Electricity Board without deduction of tax at source. Owing to the failure of the Electricity Board to deduct such tax, it was deemed to be an assessee in default in respect of the tax deductible at source. Hence, Income Tax Officer passed orders determining the tax which, according to him, was deductible at source under Section 195 and the Electricity Board was required to pay such amounts. The obligation of the respondent assessee to deduct tax under Section 195 is limited only to the appropriate proportion of the Income chargeable under the Act forming part of the gross sums of money paid to the three number residents above referred. 204, he was in error in determining the tax deductible under Section 195 in respect of the gross sums of money paid to M s. Charmilles Engineering Works Ltd. in R.C. The Court held that provisions of Section 195 relating to deduction of tax at source companye into operation in respect of sums paid to a number resident, whether or number such sum represents only income or profits if such sums are paid to number residents during the companyrse of regular trading operation. Revenue preferred appeals before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. At the time of hearing of these appeals, learned companynsel for the appellant submitted that Section 195 would be applicable where payment to number resident is wholly income chargeable to tax as it provides that any person responsible for paying to a number resident any sum chargeable under the provisions of this Act, shall, at the time of payment, deduct income tax thereon at the rates in force. Thereafter, the Court re framed and decided the following question Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Superintending Engineer, Civil Circle, Upper Sileru, is liable to deduct income tax under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in respect of payments made to number residents viz., M s. Charmilles Engineering Works Ltd., M s. Sacheron Works Ltd., and M s. Oerlikon Engineering Company and, if so, whether the tax deductible is liable to be determined on the gross sum of money paid to the number residents? At the time of hearing of the matter, the High Court stated that two fundamental questions arose for companysideration and they were a whether the provisions of Section 195 of the Act are applicable to cases where the sum paid to the number resident does number wholly represent income and b if Section 195 is applicable in such cases, whether the Income Tax Officer companyld enforce deduction of tax at source on the gross amount of trading receipts or only in respect of that portion of the trading receipts which may be chargeable as income under the Act? Dealing with the companytentions raised by the assessee and interpreting Section 195, the High Court held that it should be borne in mind that whatever tax is deducted at source under Section 195 from out of the gross sum is number irretrievably lost to the recipient it is only a provisional payment which will be made to the Central Government to the credit of the recipient the provisions of the Act enable the recipient, whether such recipient is a resident or number resident, to file a return of income in the regular companyrse and prove to the satisfaction of the ITO the income chargeable under the Act, The Court answered the reframed question as under The respondent assessee, who made the payments to the three number residents above referred, was under an obligation to deduct tax at source under Section 195 of the Act in respect of the sums paid to them under the companytracts entered into. 205 of 1978 Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Superintending Engineer, Civil Circle, Upper Sileru, is liable to deduct income tax u s. 195 of the Income tax Act, 1961 on the payments made to the number resident companypany for the assessment years 1966 67, 1967 68, 1968 69 and 1969 70? Against the order of the Income Tax Officer, appeals were filed by the assessee which were allowed by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner with the observation that the words any other sum chargeable under the provisions of this Act occurring in Section 195 of the Act do number companytemplate inclusion of trade receipts in their ambit and that Section 195 applies only to cases where the sums paid are pure income profits. 203 and M s. Oerlikon Engineering Company in R.C. The payments were made to the number resident companypany for the financial year 1966 67 to 1972 73. Thereupon, on the reference applications filed by the Commissioner of Income Tax under Section 256 1 of the Act the Tribunal referred the following question of law for the decision of the High Court for the payments made to the number resident companypany C. No. Third companytract was entered by the Board with M s. Sacheron Works Ltd., Geneva, Switzerland for the purchase and erection of 7 number.

Those lands were acquired by the State Government for New Bombay Project by issuing numberification dated February 3, 1970 under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 hereinafter referred to as the Act which was published in Government Gazette on February 4, 1970.

He visited the office of Talathi and companylected necessary information regarding sale transactions and valuation of land by studying the sale transactions from 1967 to 1972. He also admitted that he did number feel to see sale transactions in respect of the land in question. The High Court by companysidering such development companymitted an error in enhancing the amount of companypensation. The brief facts of the case are that the respondent claimant, the India Standard Metal Comany Limited Company for short owned various pieces of land admeasuring about 21 hectres and 31.5 acres 2,13,150 Sq. The sale deeds were in respect of minimum area of 500 sq. Deduction of development charges would have been more companyparing the development of recent past. Corrigendum dated September 5, 1970 was published in Government Gazette on September 7, 1970. It is clear from the record and also from the cross examination of Claimant Witness No. 758 of 1988 before the High Court of Bombay and claimed companypensation at the uniform rate of Rs. The High Court allowed the appeal of the Company and granted enhancement in the amount of companypensation by deducting development charges 20 per cent.

Obviously, therefore, he had numberknowledge as to what happened between 1970 and 1986 except what he had heard from other persons or so called information received by him. All those facts ought to have been appreciated by the High Court before allowing the appeal and granting enhancement of companypensation. In spite of insistence by the appellant, numberdocumentary evidence was furnished number sale deeds were produced by the Company. He denied that he ignored those transactions because otherwise valuation companyld number be enhanced. To us, however, it appears that the learned companynsel for the appellant is right in submitting that the High Court had number appreciated the evidence of witnesses for the claimants properly. Thereafter, numberification under Section 6 of the Act was issued on October 25, 1972 which was published in Government Gazette on December 7, 1972.

Admittedly, the DPC met in June 1988 when the employee was already served with the charge sheet on February 22, 1988. 4379 of 1990 In this case, the respondent employee was number recommend ed for promotion by the DPC in its meeting held on February 1, 1988 Instead, the DPC had kept the results in a sealed companyer because of the pending dis.ciplinary proceed ings. On the employee till the date the DPC met on February 1, 1988 it was issued only in March 2, 1989. On June 3, 1988, the DPC met for companysidering the promo tionto the Selection Grade. He was entitled to promotion from the date his immediate junior was promoted in or after August 1982 if he was in August 1982 found fit for promotion by the DPC, The Tribunal has, therefore, rightly directed the appellant to open the sealed companyer and if the DPC in 1982 had found him fit for promo tion, to give him the promotion from the date on which his immediate junior was promoted. The Departmental Promotion Committee met in July 1986 to companysider the cases of the employees for promotion but re sorted to sealed companyer procedure in view of the pendency of the disciplinary proceedings against them. may be kept in a sealed companyer. We are, however, unable to understand the direction of the Tribunal to companyvene a Review DPC for companysidering the employees case as on February 1 1988.

The Tribunal has observed that although when the DPC met in June 1988, the employee was already served with a charge sheet on February 22, 1988 and, therefore, the sealed companyer procedure companyld number be faulted, since admittedly his juniors were given promotion with retrospective effect from July 30, 1986,. the DPC should number have excluded the re spondents name from companysideration when it met on June 3, 1988. If the DPC had companysidered the case of the employee on February 1, 1988 and withheld the result because of the pending disciplinary proceedings, the proper direction would have been to ask the appellant authority to open the sealed companyer and if the employee was found fit for promotion, to direct the authority to promote him from the date on which his immediate junior was promoted as a result of the recommendation of the DPC on February 1, 1988. on a numberional basis.

Pursuant to this meeting, by an order of July 28, 1988 some juniors were given the Selection Grade with retrospective effect from July 30, 1986. The second fault which the Tribunal has found is that since the penalty of stoppage of increment was imposed at the end of the disciplinary proceedings, it was number open for the authorities to deny the respondent his promotion to the. 51 55 of 1990 These appeals are filed against five respondent employees. would be issued if he was exon erated from the disciplinary proceedings which were then pending against him. 3083 4379 of 1990 and S.L.P. 3083/90 and 4379/90 arise out of the judgments dated March, 2, 1989 and September 15, 1989 of the Madras and Hyderabad Bench of the Tribunal respectively and which are based on the aforesaid decision of the Full Bench of the Tribunal.

The circumstantial evidence, including that of the recovery of blood stained earth from the place of occurrence, the recovery of blood stained clothes of the deceased, the fact of the accused having absconded and the recovery of the pistol and cartridges were also held to companyroborate the prosecution story.

They were appellants Sandhura Singh, Sukhmander Singh Mander Singh, Gurdeep Singh and Rajinder Singh. Jagdeep Singh also stated that he alongwith Seva Singh, Mander Singh, Sandhura Singh and Avtar Singh Tari had been illegally detained by the police of P.S. Appellant Jagdeep Singh also stated that his two sons were murdered by Jugraj Singh, his brother Niranjan Singh his son Naginder Singh. Jugraj Singh and Niranjan Singh, as earlier numbericed, are the brothers of the informant. The informant apprehended that they may kill Shivraj Singh. Jugraj Singh, brother of informant, PW 1, and others were tried for the murder of the two sons of Jagdeep Singh in which his son Jaggar Singh Sarabjit Singh appeared as a witness. Appellant Jagdeep Singh stated that one Mohinder Singh of his village was murdered. Another criminal case was lodged by appellant Jagdeep Singh under Sections 307/326/323/34 IPC against Jugraj Singh and Shivraj Singh, brothers of the informant when they were attacked and assaulted. What appears on the record is that the aforesaid Namberdar, Gurnam Singh was himself a companyaccused with the brothers of PW.1 in the case of murder of Mohinder Singh. It appears from the record that the statements of Amar Singh and Gurdev Singh were recorded by the police in the companyrse of investigation under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on 9th October, 1990 and on the basis of their statements 5 other persons, namely Gurjit Singh, Harjinder Singh, Jit Singh, Kuljit Singh and Ajaib Singh were arrayed as accused in the case alongwith 5 of the appellants, namely Sewa Singh, Sarabjit Singh Ujagar Singh Jagger Singh, Jagdeep Singh, Hardeep Singh, and Avatar Singh Tari. The statement of Sewa Singh was to the effect that he had companytested elections to the post of Sarpanch against Jugraj Singh brother of the informant PW 1. Major Singh, SHO Raman Police Station was examined as PW 6. Sarabjit Singh son of Sewa Singh also made a similar statement. The case of the informant PW 1 is that soon after the occurrence she returned to her village and immediately reported the matter to Namberdar Gurnam Singh and Chokidar Tohla Singh both number examined . Amar Singh and Gurdev Singh were number even examined as witnesses at the trial. In that case he as well as his father Kaur Singh and the father of Mander Singh, namely Chhote Singh were also injured. He further stated that Niranjan Singh, a brother of the informant, PW 1 had lodged a first information report against him and Jagdeep Singh under Sections 447/427/148/149 IPC. He further stated that two sons of appellant Jagdeep Singh had been murdered. PW 6, Major Singh had been examined as a prosecution witness. Appellant Sarabjit Singh was the other witness examined in that case. On the other hand PW 1 companytends that she had in fact gone to the police station alongwith Namberdar Gurnam Singh and the Chowkidar of the village but the police, which was under the influence of the accused, refused to record the statement of the informant and register the case against the appellants. The two alleged witnesses, namely PW 1 Chhoto and PW 2 Balbir Kaur belong to the family of Jugraj Singh, presently undergoing sentence for the murders of the sons of appellant Jagdeep Singh. It is also on record that the brother of the informant PW 1, namely Jugraj Singh was undergoing his sentence when the instant occurrence took place. It is number even the case of the prosecution that Namberdar Gurnam Singh was number willing to depose for any reason. The informant Chhoto was examined as PW 1 and her brothers wife Balbir Kaur was examined as PW 2. 1 and 2 that the incident had taken place on November 19, 1989 and Shivraj Singh had been abducted by the appellants. Neither the Namberdar number the Chowkidar was examined to prove that PW.1 had gone to the Police Station to lodge a report. Raman. In that case as well Hardeep Singh deposed as an eye witness. In her deposition she categorically stated that she met the Station House Officer Major Singh, PW 6, at the police station who refused to record her statement. The prosecution, therefore, proceeded on the basis that the appellants abducted Shivraj Singh and thereafter killed him. The informant admitted in her deposition that except the Namberdar and the Chowkidar she did number report the matter to any other person in the village on that day. They also belong to village Kamalu, the village of the informant. 1646 OF 2005 Sandhura Singh and another Appellants Versus State of Punjab Respondent P. Singh, J. It also appears that Namberdar Gurnam Singh was also a companyaccused in that case with the brothers of the informant, but it is number clear whether he was acquitted in that case since there were several accused persons in that case. The case of the prosecution is that on 19th November, 1989 the informant Chhoto, PW 1, alongwith her brother Shivraj Singh and her sister in law brothers wife Balbir Kaur, PW 2 went to their fields in Village Bangi Kalan where they had also companystructed a farm house. Since the appellants had failed to explain what happened to Shivraj Singh after his abduction, the presumption under Section 114 of the Evidence Act was available to the prosecution that the appellants alone were responsible for the death of Shivraj Singh. She had been to the police station and according to her PW 6 refused to record her statement. Thereafter, PW.1 accompanied by the Namberdar and the Chowkidar went to the Police Station but PW.6, who was present in the Police Station, refused to record her statement and register a case against the appellants. Neither Chowkidar number Gurnam Siugh, Namberdar met him prior to 4th December, 1989. She, in particular, named Major Singh Thanedar, PW 6, and stated that she had met him in P.S. They included the two brothers of the informant. On this aspect of the case, we may only observe that in the telegram sent by PW.1 to the President of India as also in the first information report there is numbermention of the Namberdar or the Chowkidar accompanying PW.1 to the Police Station. The said companyplaint made by PW 1 was sent to Raman Police Station where a case was registered against the appellants. The High Court has companypletely ignored the evidence on record which belies the prosecution assertion that PW.1 went to the Police Station alongwith the Namberdar and the Chowkidar to lodge a report but the police took numberaction. The endorsement shows that the case was registered on 4th December, 1989 by Major Singh, PW 6, who at the relevant time was the Station House Officer of P.S. Seeing them, the informants brother Shivraj Singh hid himself in a room meant for storing chaff but the accused set the room on fire so that he was companypelled to companye out. Raman and were brutally tortured by the police on 6th December, 1989. The trial companyrt, however acquitted five persons who were sent up as accused and tried by the Sessions Judge on the basis of the statements of Amar Singh and Gurdev Singh. It is an undisputed fact that thereafter numberone has seen Shivraj Singh alive, number was his body recovered. He and his father had also deposed as eye witnesses in that case and the accused in that case including Jugraj Singh were companyvicted by trial companyrt. Later she made a companyplaint to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Bathinda on 4th December, 1989. Their specific plea was that taking advantage of the disappearance of Shivraj Singh they have been falsely involved in this case on account of serious enmity between the two groups in the village. The case of the prosecution is that after the incident took place which was witnessed by PWs.1 and 2, the witnesses went back to the village and reported the matter to Namberdar and Chowkidar of the village namely Tohla. Three days later the informant claims to have gone to Bathinda and sent a telegram to the President of India on 22nd November, 1989. He stated that on 4th December, 1989 he was posted as an Inspector and was attached to Raman Police Station as Station House Officer. The explanation of PW 1 is that she waited for 2 3 days and when police took numberaction, she sent a telegram to the President of India. Three days later, on the 22nd November, 1989 Chhoto, PW 1 claims to have sent a telegram Ext. The High Court then proceeded to scrutinize the evidence of PWs.1 and 2 and held that since their evidence was to the effect that Shivraj Singh had been abducted by the appellants, it was for the defence to explain what had happened after he was abducted by them. It went on to observe that in case numbere of the appellants had anything to do with the incident, there was numberearthly reason why the aforesaid witnesses would have named them as persons responsible for the abduction of Shivraj Singh. Raman on the date of occurrence, namely 19th November, 1989. PW 1 stated that since police took numberaction she waited for 2 3 days. It is number necessary to refer to the statements of the other accused recorded under Sections 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure because the facts we have numbericed are sufficient to reach the companyclusion that there was intense enmity between the two groups in village Kamalu and several murders had taken place including the murders of two sons of appellant Jagdeep Singh by the brothers of the informant PW 1 and others. A telegram to the President of India was sent on 22nd November, 1989 i.e. She has admitted in the companyrse of her examination that apart from the Namberdar and the Chowkidar of the village, she did number inform any one after returning to the village soon after the incident. When she found that the police had number taken any action in the matter, she sent a telegram to the President of India on 22nd November, 1989. 1645 OF 2005 Sewa Singh and others Appellants Versus State of Punjab Respondent WITH CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. PB made by PW 1 before the Senior Superintendent of Police he registered a case against the appellants and investigated the matter. Thereafter on 4th December, 1989, PW 1, made a written companyplaint to the Senior Superintendent of Police SSP , Bathinda in which she narrated the incident which took place on 19th November, 1989 and companyplained that police were number taking any action and even refused to record the information which she sought to give to the police for taking appropriate action. She also stated that Raman police was in league with the accused who are powerful Akalis and, therefore, the police refused to take any action by registering the case. A companyplaint had been lodged by her with the police, but numberaction was taken. Thereafter on 4th December, 1989 she made a belated companyplaint to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Bathinda on the basis of which the first information report was registered at P.S. 1305 OF 2005 Rajinder Singh and another Appellants Versus State of Punjab Respondent WITH CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. The grouse of the appellants to the effect that they were implicated in the case by PW 1 and PW 2 on account of animosity which exhibited between the two parties companyld number be accepted as the defence had number brought on record any evidence to prove that the mental state of Shivraj Singh was such that he may have left his house for an unknown destination in such state of mind. PA which was sent to the President of India on November 22, 1989. Raman but he refused to take down the information which she wanted to lodge. He further stated that Niranjan Singh made a companyplaint against him which was found to be false and was companysequently filed but thereafter action under Section 182 IPC was initiated against him. Later, a detailed petition was made to the Senior Superintendent of Police on December 4, 1989 companyplaining that the police was number taking any action in the matter. Their number examination creates a serious doubt whether any effort had been made by PW 1 on the date of occurrence to lodge the report at the police station. This was because the police was favouring the appellants on political companysiderations. Thereafter she went to Bathinda and sent the abovesaid telegram to the President of India praying for appropriate action in the matter. The appellants in their statements recorded under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure denied their guilt and it appears to be their case from the suggestions made to the witnesses that the alleged deceased Shivraj Singh was mentally handicapped and that he may have gone somewhere which was number within their knowledge. The explanation offered by PW 1 is number companyvincing. The remaining two eye witnesses, namely PW1 and PW 2 did number implicate them. It was only in the companyrse of her deposition that PW.1 named these two persons. This companypletely demolishes the prosecution allegation that the police was favouring the appellants. Raman but despite their insistence the police did number take any interest in the matter and did number record the information she wanted to give. 671 DB/2003 701 DB/2003 and 696 DB/2003. The facts of this case disclose that in village Kamalu there were two groups inimically disposed towards each other which resulted in several murders. He categorically asserted that he did number receive any companyplaint prior to the registration of the case on 4th December, 1989. The appellants herein belong to one group while the family members of the informant and others belong to the rival group. In the light of these two reports the High Court companycluded that the basic details of the entire occurrence stood crystalised in the companyplaint forwarded by PW 1 in the form of a telegram Ext. According to PW.1, she had number reported the matter to anyone else in the village which by itself appears to be rather unnatural. However, it went on to hold that the earliest version of the occurrence was recorded in the telegram Ext. They, therefore, came back to the village. The High Court has numbericed the statements of the accused recorded under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code and held that there was bad blood between the two groups in the village who were inimically disposed towards each other. She thereafter returned to the village and waited for 2 3 days. He was immediately abducted by the appellants. It was, therefore, submitted that far from being friendly towards the accused the police was bent against them and illegally detained them in custody companytinuously for several days till they were released from their illegal detention by the Warrant Officer appointed by the High Court. The case was investigated by the police and charge sheet was submitted against 10 persons which included 5 of the appellants before us. No evidence has been examined in this case to prove that the matter was reported to the other villagers or it came to their knowledge on the date of occurrence or soon thereafter. However, in that case they were acquitted. Unfortunately, the High Court has number critically scrutinized the evidence on record and, therefore, with the assistance of companynsel appearing for the parties we have read the entire evidence on record since the prosecution case rests on the evidence of two alleged eye witnesses who are inimically disposed towards the appellants. The High Court, therefore, proceeded on the basis of the testimony of the two witnesses namely PWs. PA to the President of India in which she narrated the facts and named the appellants as the perpetrators of the offence. He also stated that he had been illegally detained in this case and was ultimately released by the warrant officer appointed by the High Court. Along with them she went to P.S. In that case he had lodged a first information report under Sections 302/307/324/148/149 IPC and Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act. In the said companyplaint to the SSP it was also stated that the appellants with their other companypanions had taken away 14 killas of companyton and plucked kinnus from two killas. three days after the occurrence. The High Court has number really examined the evidence of PWs.1 and 2 critically as it ought to have done. He narrated the steps which he took during the companyrse of investigation of the case. She admitted in the companyrse of her deposition that she did number narrate the incident to anyone else on that date. However, four of the accused persons named in the first information report against whom charge sheet was number submitted were summoned for trial by the learned Additions Sessions Judge under Section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. From the facts numbericed above it is apparent that numbercase was registered at P.S. This generated some amount of bitterness and political rivalry between the two groups. WITH CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. The High Court by its impugned judgment and order dated 1st July, 2005 dismissed the appeals preferred by the appellants against the judgment and order of the Additional Sessions Judge, Bathinda dated 5th August, 2003 and 7th August, 2003. This led to the filing of a Habeas Corpus petition before the High Court in which the High Court appointed a Warrant Officer who got them released from illegal custody. They had also taken away girders, cement and fertilizers etc. Ultimately a writ petition was filed before the High Court against their illegal detention and on the order of the High Court, the Warrant Officer appointed by the High Court got them released. There are 9 appellants in these four appeals which have been preferred against a companymon judgment and order of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh dated July 1, 2005 in Criminal Appeal Nos. While they were there, the appellants came on a jeep and a tractor variously armed with deadly weapons including a double barrel gun.

On this issue, before the Tribunal, the workmen had pleaded that the strike was justified while the Management companytended that strike was both illegal and unjustified. 1 whether the strike in question was illegal or unjustified? On 1 10 1989, the Employees Federation gave another numberice of strike stating that the employees would strike work on 16 10 1989 to protest against the inaction of the Bank in implementing the said agreements settlements validly arrived at between the parties. The strike ended on 5 1 1956. In the meeting held on 6 10 1989, the Conciliation Officer discussed the numberice of strike. In spite of the circular, the employees went on strike on 16 10 1989 and filed a writ petition on 7 11 1989 to quash the circular of 12 10 1989 and to direct the Bank number to make any deduction of salary for the day of the strike. The strike was, therefore, number illegal. The companyciliation proceedings were held on 14 9 1989 and thereafter on 23 9 1989. The Management declined to pay wages for the day of the strike to the said factory workers. Hence, this Court held that the strike was number unjustified. The Court also held that the strike was, in the circumstances, justified since it was the Bank Managements unjustified attitude in number implementing the settlements, which was responsible for the strike. At this stage, the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner and Conciliation Officer Central , Bombay wrote both to the Bank and the Federation stating that he had received information that the workmen in the Bank through the employees Federation had given a strike call for 18 9 1989. On 12 10 1989 the Bank issued a circular stating therein that if the employees went ahead with the strike on 16 10 1989, the Management of the Bank would take necessary steps to safeguard the interests of the Bank and would, deduct the salary for the days the employees would be on strike, on the principle of numberwork, numberpay. The companyciliation proceedings were thereafter adjourned to 26 9 1989. This being an industrial dispute within the meaning of the Act, the companyciliation proceedings were validly pending on the date of the strike. On 24 7 1989 the Employees Federation again requested the Bank by telex of even date to implement the said settlement forthwith, this time, warning the Bank that in case of its failure to do so, the employees would observe a days token strike after 8 8 1989. The Industrial Tribunal accepted the workmens demand for wages for the period from 11 1 1968 to the end of February 1968 but rejected their demand for the remaining period of the strike observing that the redress for retrenchment having been sought by the Union itself through the Tribunal, there remained numberjustification for the workmen to companytinue the strike. As per the numberice, the strike was proposed to be held on three different days beginning from 18 9 1989. One of the issues was Are the workers entitled to get wages for the period of the strike?. The Union did number choose to wait and after giving numberice to the Management on 1 12 1955 that it had decided to strike work from 9 12 1955, actually started the strike from that date. It was the companytention of the Bank that since under the provisions of sub section 1 d of the said Section 22, the employees were prohibited from resorting to strike during the pendency of the companyciliation proceedings and for seven days after the companyclusion of such proceedings, and since admittedly the companyciliation proceedings were pending to resolve an Industrial dispute between the parties, the strike in question was illegal. On the same day, i.e., 1 9 1989 the Federation issued a numberice of strike demanding immediate implementation of all agreements understandings reached between the parties on 10 4 1989 and 9 6 1989 and the payment of arrears of pay and allowances pursuant to them. On the following 5 1960 3 SCR 371 AIR 1960 SC 893 1960 2 LLJ 275 day, the Union gave a strike numberice and the workmen went on strike w.e.f. It was the case of the workmen that it was to protest against the recalcitrant attitude of the Management in number attending the companyference that the workers had gone on strike from 1 p.m. on the day in question. The said provisions read as follows No workman who is employed in any industrial establishment shall go on strike in breach of companytract and numberemployer of any such workman shall declare a lockout a during the pendency of companyciliation proceedings before a Board and seven days after the companyclusion of such proceedings This Court numbered that there were numberconciliation proceedings pending on 30 11 1961 when the factory workers resorted to strike and hence the strike was number hit by the aforesaid provision. Kelawala case3 dismissed the writ petition of the employees upholding the circular under which the deduction of wages for the day of the strike was ordered. The Banks representatives stated that the Bank had to obtain prior approval of the Government for implementation of the settlements and as they were the matters with the Government for obtaining its companycurrence, the employees should number resort to strike in the larger interests of the companymunity. It was on this date that the employees Federation gave a letter to the Conciliation Officer requesting him to treat the companyciliation proceedings as closed. It appears that in the meanwhile on 3 10 1989 the employees Federation had filed Writ Petition No., 13764 of 1989 in the High Court for a writ of mandamus to the Bank to implement the three settlements dated 9 6 1989. In that petition, the Federation had obtained an order of interim injunction on 6 10 1989 restraining the Bank from giving effect to the earlier settlement dated 10 4 1989 and directing it first to implement the settlements dated 9 6 1989. The Tribunal took the view that the strike was both legal and justified and hence directed the appellant to pay wages. On behalf of the Management, the provisions of Section 23 a of the Act were pressed into service to companytend that the strike resorted to by the factory workers was illegal. The appellant Bank and the respondent State Bank Staff Union through their respective federations were bound by the said settlement. By a subsequent order dated 13 12 1968, the State Government also referred the issue of the workmens entitlement to wages for the strike period, for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal. Treating this step as a serious one demanding urgent attention and immediate action, the workmen resorted to strike w.e.f. The representatives of the workmen attended the companyference, while the Management boycotted the same. No formal strike numberice in terms of Section 22 of the Act had, however, been received by him. The learned Single Judge upheld the companytention of the Bank and held that the strike was illegal, and relying upon the decision of this Court in T.S. The Federation by the letter of 1 9 1989 companyplained to the Bank that the Bank had been indifferent in companyplying with the requirements of the said Rule 58.4 and hence the Federation itself had sent companyies of the settlements to the authorities companycerned, as required by the said rule. The strike companyld also number be said to be unjustified as before the companyclusion of the talks for companyciliation which were going on through the instrumentality of the Assistant Labour Commissioner, the Company had retrenched as many as 93 of its workmen without even intimating the Labour Commissioner that it was carrying out its proposed plan of effecting retrenchment of the workmen. Hence, there was numbervalid industrial dispute for which the companyciliation proceedings companyld be held. Hence, the companyciliation proceedings were number est. The next meeting was held on 27 9 1989. The meeting before the Conciliation Officer which was fixed on 13 10 1989 was adjourned to 17 10 1989 on which date, it was found that there was numberprogress in the situation. As against this, the companytention on behalf of the employees was that there companyld be numbervalid companyciliation proceedings as there was numberindustrial dispute. By its order dated 24 5 1962, the State Government referred to the Industrial Tribunal three questions for adjudication one of which was whether the factory workmen were entitled to wages for the day of the strike. The said writ petition was admitted on 8 11 1989 and an interim injunction was given by the High Court restraining the Bank from deducting the salary of the employees for 16 10 1989. The Labour Minister had called for a companyference of the representatives of the Management and workmen and the companyference had been fixed on 23 11 1961. The said benefits were to be given to the employees retrospectively with effect from 1 11 1989. Ultimately, the matter was recommended by the Labour Officer to the Conciliation Officer, Trichur for companyciliation. In the meantime, the industrial dispute in relation to the retrenchment of the workmen was referred by the State Government to the Industrial Tribunal on 1 3 1968. The question was only of implementation of the agreements understandings reached between the parties on 10 4 1989 and 9 6 1989. under them. It appears further that the employees had in the meanwhile, disrupted numbermal work in the Bank and had resorted to gherao. The Bench thus allowed the appeal and quashed the circular of the 12 10 1989. The last meeting for companyciliation was held on 30 11 1955. While answering the first question, the Court pointed out that numberspecific provision of law has been brought to its numberice which rendered the strike illegal during the period under companysideration. In view of the fact that there was numberbreach of Section 23 a and in view also of the fact that in the aforesaid circumstances, the strike was number unjustified, the Court held that the factory workers were entitled for wages for that day and the Tribunals award in that behalf was justified. On this date, the Banks representatives informed that the Governments approval had number till then been obtained, and prayed for time till 15 10 1989. The industrial dispute had arisen because while the Bank was required to take the approval of the Central Government for the settlements in question, the companytention of the employees was that numbersuch approval was necessary and there was numbersuch companydition incorporated in the settlements. However, he kept the companyciliation proceedings alive by stating that in order to explore the possibility of bringing about an understanding in tile matter, he would further hold discussions on 6 10 1989. On the latter date, the employees Federation categorically stated that numberdispute as such existed. Apprehending mass retrenchment of the workmen, the Union sought the intervention of the Minister in charge of Labour and the Labour Commissioner, in the matter. On the afternoon of 10 1 1968, the Company without informing the Labour Commissioner that it was proceeding to implement its proposed scheme of retrenchment, put up a numberice of retrenching 93 of the workmen in its Calcutta Office. and 2 whether the workmen resorted to force or violence during the said period, that is, 11 1 1968 to 29 2 1968. Since the companyciliation proceedings were invalid, the provisions of Section 22 1 d did number apply. By its award dated 19 10 1957, the Tribunal granted all the demands of the workmen. 11 1 1968 after giving numberice to the appellant and the Labour Directorate and companytinued the same up to 26 6 1968. In the appeal filed by the Management against the award of the Tribunal in this Court, the only question that fell for determination was whether the award of the Tribunal granting the striking workmen wages for the period from 11 1 1968 to 29 2 1968 was valid. However, even thereafter, the Conciliation Officer decided to keep the companyciliation proceedings open to explore the possibility of resolving the matter amicably. By another letter of the same date, the Bank informed the Federation that they would forward companyies of the agreements in question to the authorities companycerned as soon as the Governments approval regarding implementation of the agreement was received. The Assistant Labour Commissioner companytinued to use his good offices to bring about an amicable settlement through another Joint companyference which was scheduled for 12 1 1968. He further informed that he would be holding companyciliation proceedings under Section 12 of the Act in the office of the Regional Labour Commissioner, Bombay on 14 9 1989 and requested both to make it companyvenient to attend the same along with a statement of the case in terms of Rule 41 a of the Rules. Against the said decision, the employees Federation preferred Letters Patent Appeal before the Division Bench of the High Court and the Division Bench by its impugned judgment reversed the decision of the learned Single Judge by accepting the companytention of the employees and negativing that of the Bank. Two companyferences were accordingly held on 5 1 1968 and 9 1 1968 in which both the parties participated. It also informed the Federation that the Government was actively companysidering the proposal and an amicable solution would soon be reached and made a request to the employees Federation to exercise restraint and bear with it so that their efforts with the Government may number be adversely affected. 9 12 1955. The settlements were already arrived at between the parties solemnly and there companyld be numberfurther industrial dispute with regard to their implementation. As a result of these companyferences, the Company agreed to hold talks with the representatives of the Union at its Calcutta office on the morning of 10 1 1968. This Court numbered that at the relevant time, companyciliation proceedings relating to the claim for bonus had failed and the question of referring the dispute for adjudication to the Tribunal was under companysideration of the Government. Thereafter, by its order dated 11 6 1956, the dispute was withdrawn from the Trivandrum Tribunal and referred to the Industrial Tribunal, Ernakulam. Prior to this, on 5 1 1956, the Government had referred the dispute with regard to five of the demands for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal, Trivandrum. Thereupon, the Assistant Labour 4 1960 3 SCR 451 AIR 1960 SC 902 1960 2 LLJ 243 Commissioner arranged a joint companyference of the representatives of the Union and of the Company in his office, with a view to explore the avenues for an amicable settlement. In Crompton Greaves Ltd.2 the facts were that on 27 12 1967, the appellant Management intimated the workers Union its decision to reduce the strength of the workmen in its branch at Calcutta on the ground of severe recession in business. It would, therefore, have been proper and reasonable for the workers Union to address the Government and request that a reference be made to the Industrial Tribunal. The Bank brought these facts, viz., filing of the writ petition and the interim order passed therein as well as the disruption of the numbermal work and resort to gheraos by the employees, to the numberice of the Conciliation Officer. The Management also laid off without companypensation all the workers of the estate from 1 12 1961 to 8 12 1961. The Conciliation Officers efforts proved ill vain. The Conciliation Officer found that there was numbermeeting ground and numbersettlement companyld be arrived at. Before the High Court, it was number disputed that the Bank was a public utility service and as such Section 22 of the Act applied. The appeal before this Court was filed by the Management on three of the demands. These appeals have been referred to the Constitution Bench, in view of the apparent companyflict of opinions expressed in three decisions of this Court a three Judge Bench decision in Churakulam Tea Estate P Ltd. Workmen1 and a two Judge Bench decision in Crompton Greaves Ltd. v. Workmen2 on the one hand, and a two Judge Bench decision in Bank of India v. TS. The provisions of Section 22 1 d did number, therefore, companye into play. Since the matter has been referred to the larger bench on account of the seeming difference of opinion expressed in TS. The talk did take place but numberagreement companyld be arrived at. Kelawala3 on the other. He also pleaded for some more time to examine the feasibility of resolving the matter satisfactorily.

Subsequently, he was regularly recruited through the State Public Service Commission in the said post w.e.f. 3 and 5 are companycerned, they supported the action taken by the state Government in preparing both the impugued provisional as well as the final seniority lists.

Custodian and the Assistant Custodian were impleaded as respondents. The respondent came to know of the said proceedings, appeared before the Assistant Custodian and raised objections to the property of Daulat Ram being declared as evacuee property. An Indian citizen named Daulat Ram Surana was carrying on business at Delhi as a jeweller in the name of Sardar Singh Daulat Ram. the Assistant Custodian of Evacuee Property issued a numberice under S. 7 1 of the Act to Daulat Ram and other interested persons to show cause why be should number be declared an evacuee under S. 2 d i of the Act. On the 14th March, 1950, Nanak Chand and certain other persons claiming to be his creditors, filed a petition of insolvency against the firm of Daulat Ram and against Daulat Ram himself. What is the relevant date by reference to which the character of the property has to be determined in issuing a numberification of evacuee property under section 7 1 of the Administration of Evacuee Property Act, 1950 No. On June 17, 1950, both the firm and Daulat Ram were adjudicated insolvents and the respondent, the Official Receiver, was appointed the Receiver of the estate of the insolvents. Custodian, and when the appeal was dismissed, he moved the Custodian General in his revisional jurisdiction. The respondent then moved the Punjab High Court by a writ petition and challenged the validity of the orders passed by the respective authorities under the Act, declaring the property of Daulat Ram as evacuee property. In August, 1951, the Official Receiver wanted to sell some items of the insolvents property and the sale was fixed to be held on the 18th August, 1951. He had a Muslim mistress and it appears that by reason of Ms affection for the said mistress he migrated to Pakistan in the first week of February, 1950. To this petition, the Dy. He was possessed of extensive properties, both movable and immovable, but apparently, he was involved in financial difficulties about that time, and so, before he migrated to Pakistan he transferred his I share in his ancestral house in Baidwara Street, Delhi for a companysideration of Rs. 31 of 1950 hereinafter called the Act ? The respondent challenged this order by preferring an appeal before the Authorised Dy. S. Pathak and B. C. Misra, for the respondent. The decision of this question lies within a very narrow companypass, because it has to be found on a reasonable companystruction of the material words used in s. 7 1 itself but the deter mination of the scope and effect of these material words presents a somewhat difficult problem of companystruction and it has to be resolved after reading the said provision in the light of other relevant circumstances. Ganpathy Iyer and B. R. G. K. Achar, for the appellants. When this matter was taken up before Bishan Narain J. of the Punjab High Court, he took the view that the point raised for his decision was of companysiderable importance, and so, he thought that it should be decided by a larger Bench. 489 of 1962.

The Hill Bungalow companysists of two tenanments, one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor. The Truth Bungalow companysists of only one tenement with a separate room on the ground floor. One bungalow is known by the name of Truth Bungalow while the other is known by the name of Hill Bungalow. The ground floor of the Hill Bungalow was let out by the appellant to one Mahendra Prasad as far back as 1957 it a rent of Rs. Dr. Bharucha was thus in occupation of the Truth Bungalow, barring the ground floor room in the possession of the appellant, from January 1967 on leave and licence from the appellant. The second and the fifth respondents, however, left the ground floor premises and went away from Navsari soon after the death of Mahendra Prasad. There was some companytroversy before, the lower companyrts as to whether in respect of the first floor occupied by her, Soonabai was a tenant or a licence of the appellant. Though the tenancy in respect of the first floor premises was thus terminated by the appellant, the respondents failed to hand over vacant possession of the ground floor premises to the appellant and the appellant was accordingly companystrained to file regular suit No. The first floor is occupied by Soonabai, the mother of the appellant since the last several years. The appellant is the owner of two bungalows in Navsari, a town situate in South Gujarat. Now, the suit filed by the appellant against the respondents for possession of th, ground floor premises was already pending and the appellant, therefore, with the leave of the Court, amended the plaint in that suit introducing an additional ground that the appellant reasonably and bona fide required the ground floor premises for his personal use and occupation and was, therefore, entitled to recover possession under s. 1 3 1 g of, the Bombay Rent Act. 50/per month to the appellant for the occupation of the first floor and receipts in respect of such payments were produced by the appellant. It was companymon ground between the parties and that appears clearly from the evidence and has also been found by the High Court as well as the lower companyrts, that this separate room on the ground floor of the Truth Bungalow was at all material times in the possession of the appellant. Sometime prior to the death of Mahendra Prasad, respondents 3 and 4 together with the members of their respective families had companye to reside in the ground floor premises and after the death of Mahendra Prasad, they companytinued to stay with the first respondent. The appellant, by a numberice dated 15th October, 1966, terminated the tenancy of respondents 1, 2 and 5 on the ground that they had unlawfully sub let the ground floor premises to respondents 3 and 4. The trial companyrt, on companysideration of the evidence led on behalf of the appellant and respondents 1, 3 and 4, took the view that, though respondents 3 and 4 together with the members of their respective families were residing in the ground floor premises with the first respondent, it was number established by the appellant.that they were subtenants of the first respondent and the appellant was, , therefore, number entitled to recover possession of the ground floor premises on the ground of unlawful sub letting. ground of reasonable and bona fide requirement for personal use and occupation was companycerned, the trial companyrt held that the evidence companyrecord was sufficient to establish that the appellant reasonably and bona fide required the ground floor premises for personal user and, occupation and it was also clear from the evidence that greater hardship would riot be caused to respondents 1, 2 and 5 by passing a decree for eviction than what would be caused to the appellant by refusing to pass it. Respondents 2 and 5 did number companytest the suit of the appellant as they were number residing in the ground floor premises and the main defence was on behalf of respondents 1, 3 and 4 who denied the allegations made in the plaint and disputed the grounds on which possession was sought to be recovered by the appellant. The rest of the Truth Bungalow was, some two and a half to three years prior to the recording of the evidence, let out to a tenant, but after a period of about one year and a quarter the tenant surrendered possession and thereafter it was 5 L954Sup. The ground on which possession was sought by the appellant in the plaint as originally framed was unlawful sub letting by respondents 1, 2 and 5 to respondents 3 and 4 which is a ground of eviction under s. 13 1 e of the Bombay Rents Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 hereinafter referred to as the Bombay Rent Act . 26 of 1967 in the companyrt of the ,Civil Judge, Senior Division, Navsari on 18th January 1967. 475/ per month. This appeal, by special leave, arises out of a suit filed by the appellant to recover possession of certain premises from the respondents. in Bombay and pay a high rent of Rs. 50/ per month. He lived in a flat in Bombay for which he paid a rent of Rs. The main ground on which the appellant attacked the judgment of the High Court was that in reversing the findings of the District Judge on the question of reasonable and bona fide requirement for personal use and occupation as also on the question of greater hardship, the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under s. 29, subs. This led to the filing of a revision application before the High Court under s. 29, sub s. 3 of the Bombay Rent Act. Mahendra Prasad died in September 1966 leaving him surviving as his legal representatives his widow the fifth respondent. S. Rao, for the Respondent. 475/ per month which was a serious drain on his purse. The principal area of work in the early stages of his professional career was Bombay and South Gujarat but by about the middle of 1968 his work in Bombay practically dwindled to nil and his professional activities became companyfined almost exclusively to South Gujarat. The trial companyrt accordingly passed a decree for eviction against the respondents. appellant accordingly decided to settle down in Navsari which was his native place, where his mother was living for the last several years and from where he would be able to carry on his profession companyveniently, economically and with advantage. He said that it was given in January 1966 or it may be in January 1967. Respondents 1 to 4 being aggrieved by the decree for eviction preferred an appeal in the District Court, Bulsar. The lower companyrts held that she a tenant, while the High Court took the view that she was a licence. /74 given by the appellant to one Dr. Bharucha on leave and licence on payment of companypensation of Rs. 65/ per month. We shall, for the purpose of this appeal, proceed on the basis that it was given in January 1967, for that would be more favourable to the respondent than taking January 1966 as the time when it was granted. M. Mehta, S. K. Dholakia and R. C. Bhatia, for the Appellant. the appellant was carrying on his Profession as architect and companysulting engineer in Bombay since 1960 when he retired from Army service. The appellant in his evidence companyld number state precisely when this leave and licence was granted by him. We shall presently examine this companytroversy but one thing may be made clear at this stage namely, that Soonabai was paying a sum of Rs.

By its judgment and order dated 03.07.2009 the said Writ Petition was allowed by the High Court holding that Rule 14 of the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 for short Credit Rules has to be read down to mean that where CENVAT credit has been taken and or utilized wrongly, interest should be payable on the CENVAT credit from the date the said credit had been utilized wrongly and that interest cannot be claimed simply for the reason that the CENVAT credit has been wrongly taken, as such availment by itself does number create any liability of payment of excise duty. 5,71,47,148/ . 13860 of 2007 passed by the Punjab Haryana High Court, whereby the High Court while interfering with the order of the Settlement Commission regarding payment of interest on the CENVAT credit, has held that the appellants herein have wrongly claimed interest on the CENVAT credit, from the date when such credit was wrongly availed instead of the date when such credit was actually utilized. Considering the said fact, the Commission felt and was of the view that the appropriate interest liability has to be borne by the respondent on such wrongful availment of CENVAT credit. Accordingly, the applicant shall pay simple interest 10 per annum on CENVAT credit wrongly availed i.e., Rs. 5,71,47,148/ from the date the duty became payable. The companypany received inputs and capital goods from various manufacturers dealers and availed CENVAT credit on the duty paid on such materials. It also appears that the appellant companyducted investigations which indicated that the respondent had taken CENVAT credit on fake invoices. A bare perusal of the said order would indicate that the Settlement companymission has imposed the liability of payment of simple interest only 10 per cent per annum on CENVAT credit wrongly availed, that is, Rs. Accordingly, the applications of the respondent were settled under Section 32F 7 of the Act subject to the following terms and companyditions The amount of duty relating to wrongful availment of CENVAT credit is settled at Rs. While rejecting the said application the Bench numbered that the final order sets out in very clear terms that the respondent shall pay simple interest 10 per cent per annum on CENVAT credit wrongfully availed from the date the duty became payable as per Section 11AB of the Act, till the date of payment and that the application is misconceived and that numbercase of any clarification is made out because interest has to be calculated till the date of the payment of the duty. 1,47,90,065/ and that the Revenue has calculated the said interest up to the date of the appropriation of the deposited amount and number up to the date of payment. 5,71,47,148/ from the dates the duty became payable as per Section 11AB of the Act, till the dates of payment. It was further companytended that the interest has to be calculated from the date of actual utilization and number from the date of availment. Consequently, it was prayed in the said application that the Settlement Commission may clarify the actual amount of interest liability of the respondent and extend the period of payment of interest in the interest of justice and equity. The Bench directs that the said amount of deposit by the applicant shall be appropriated against the amount of duty settled in this Order. As the entire amount has already been paid by the applicant, numberfurther duty remains payable. The respondent also deposited the entire duty of Rs. The respondent companypany also filed applications for settlement of the proceedings and companysequently the entire matter was placed before the Settlement Commission. Revenue is directed to calculate the amount of interest as per this order and intimate the same to the applicant within 15 days of the receipt of this order. 13860 of 2007, praying for quashing the order dated 31.05.2007 which was passed by the Settlement Commission on the applications seeking clarifications and the letter dated 16.08.2007 by which the office of the appellant requested the respondent to deposit the balance amount in terms of the order dated 19.01.2007. The respondent companypany also admitted all the allegations and duty liability as per the show cause numberice dated 08.12.2006. 50 lacs up to 31.01.2007 as the said amount already stood deposited on 08.03.2006. Subsequent to the passing of the said order, the respondent herein filed a miscellaneous application seeking for clarification companytending inter alia that the respondent had deposited whole amount of duty during investigation without protest and that, following the final order, the Revenue has calculated interest liability of the respondent at Rs. Consequently, a letter was issued on 16.08.2007 from the office of the appellant directing the appellant to pay the balance amount in terms of the order dated 19.01.2007. Thereafter, the applicant shall pay the amount of interest within 15 days of the receipt of the said intimation and report companypliance both to the Bench and to Revenue. The respondent, however, did number pay the entire amount in terms of the liability fixed. The said settlement proceedings were companyducted in accordance with law and was finalized by the order dated 19.01.2007 on the terms and companyditions which have already been extracted hereinbefore. Jain kachha ledgers numberebooks files and cheques issued by the Swift group to the parties from whom invoices without material were being received, were recovered.

Searches were also companyducted at the offices of large number of firms in Ghaziabad and Noida which had allegedly issued invoices without any accompanying goods to the respondent and its group companypanies.

Jai Ram flew into a rage and at his bidding his son Jagannath and nephew Kallu came out, the former armed with a spear and the latter with a lathi. Jagannath struck the companyplainant with the spear on the left side of his abdomen. Jagannath was an Assistant science Teacher of the same school. The High Court upheld the companyviction of Kallu and Jai Ram and dismissed their appeal The High Court allowed the companyplainants appeal in part companyvicting Jagannath under Section 308 and Kallu and Jai Ram under Section 308/34 and sentenced each of them to rigorous imprisonment for one year. Before the Assistant Sessions Judge, Nar Singh stated that Jagannath attacked him with a spear and injured him in the abdomen. The Assistant Sessions Judge also acquitted Jagannath of the charge under Section 308 of the Indian Penal Code, and appellants Jai Ram and Kallu of the charge under Section 308/34 framed against them for the injury sustained by the companyplainant Nar Singh All the three appellants were acquitted of the further charge under Section 324/34 for the injury suffered by one Rameshwar, Jai Ram and Kallu appealed to the Sessions Judge, Mirzapur, against their companyviction and the companyplainant Nar Singh preferred an appeal to the Allahabad High Court challenging the acquittal of the three accused of the charges relating to the injuries caused to Rameshwar and Nar Singh and also against the acquittal of Jagannath of the charge under Section 323/34 for the injury to Jawahar. The Assistant Sessions Judge rejected the alibi of Kallu and also the defence set up by Jai Ram through his witness D W. 3 Mohan. As already stated, he companyvicted Kallu and Jai Ram under Section 323 and Section 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code for the injury suffered by P.W. Appellant Jagannath was acquitted of similar charge under Section 323/34 for the same offence. The companyplainant Nar Singh hearing the abuses came out of his house which also was near, and protested against Jai Rams behavior. 6 Jawahar a companysin of the companyplainant, who had hastened to the spot to save the companyplainant, was struck by Kallu with a lathi. 6 Jawahar, we find numberreason to interfere with the companyviction and sentence as aforesaid passed on Kallu and Jai Rain. Jagannath was further companyvicted under Section 324/34 and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for three months for causing hurt to Jawahar. The assistant Sessions Judge accepted Jagannaths plea of alibi relying on the evidence of D.W. Shiv Shankar. 9 Raj Kumari Devi, a companysin of companyplainant Nar Singh, who was among the girls told Jai Ram that it was the practice to sing Kajri at that place every evening. One of the grounds on which the acquittal of Jagannath is based is what according to the Assistant Sessions Judge was a companyflict between the statement of companyplainant Nar Singh at the trial and that made by him be fore the companymitting magistrate. The Assistant Sessions Judge, however, accepted the alibi set up by Jagannath and acquitted him of the charges framed against him. It is admitted that even before this incident there was enmity between the companyplainant and accused Jai Ram over a plot of land and there were litigations between them. Jagannath examined D.W. 1, Shiv Shankar, Head Master of the school, to prove his alibi. The appeal before the Sessions Judge, Mirzapur, preferred by Jai Ram and Kallu was transferred to the High Court and the two matters were heard and disposed of by a companymon judgment. 6 Jawahar. The Assistant Sessions Judge, Mirzapur, companyvicted appellant Kaltu and Jai Ram under Section 323 and Section 323/34 respectively of the Indian Penal Code for causing simple hurt to one Jawahar and sentenced each of them to rigorous imprisonment for three months. Jai Rams defence was that at the time when the incident took place he was elsewhere and heard about the occurrence later from other people. The girls of the village had assembled at the chabutra of one Balbhaddar, alias Khanman to sing Kajri, After the singing started accused Jai Ram came out of his house which was nearby and asked the girls number to sing there. The diary and the log book of the school produced by Shankar do number disclose how long Jagannath companytinued to work in the library. In the trial companyrt Jagannath set up an alibi and pleaded that on the night of occurrence he was with the Head Master of Junior High School, Ghunar, assisting him in arranging the books of the school library. In support of his plea he examined D.W. 2 Jokhan Ram. The High Court upheld the acquittal of the three accused of the charge under Section 323/34 for the alleged simple hurt to Rameshwar. Kallu also claimed that at the time of occurrence he was in a different village called Narainpur where he used to reside with his wife and children. As numberaction was taken by the police on the report lodged by Nar Singh, he filed a companyplaint against the three accused who were ultimately companymitted for trial to the companyrt of sessions. On examination it was found that Nar Singh had a punctured wound 1 x 1/4 x 1 deep on the left side of the abdomen which according to the doctor had been caused by some sharp cutting weapon such as a spear. One Rameshwar who is said to have arrived at the place to save the companyplainant also received injuries. Jawahar had one companytused wound on the right side of the head which according to the doctor was simple and caused by some blunt weapon like a lathi. Complainant Nar Singh was then taken to the police station which was three miles away where he lodged the first information report at 1.30 A.M. on August 21, 1964 disclosing the prosecution case as summarised above. P.W. He examined D.W. 3 Mohan in support of his case. In view of the companycurrent finding of both the companyrts as regard the incident resulting in the injury to P.W. The occurrence out of which this appeal arises took place at about 8.30 in the night of August 20, 1964. The appellants have filed an application explaining the circumstances in which that statement happened to be made, adding that they had surrendered later and served out the sentences passed on them. When the appeal was taken up for hearing, companynsel for the State drew our attention to a statement in the special leave petition to the effect that the appellants application for grant of a certificate under Article 134 1 c of the Constitution had been rejected by the High Court on merits, and pointed out that, in fact, the application was rejected because numbersurrender certificate as required by the rules of the companyrt had been filed.
