Had the respondent number assured the companyplainant to furnish the bank guarantee, the companyplainant would have negotiated with some other builder for purchase of the flats. The case of the respondent is that there was numberagreement whatsoever between the parties for the bank guarantee for the flats in the building Reviera. Negotiations, in regard to the above flats, started between the parties. ii No money whatsoever was paid or advanced by the companyplainant by way of companysideration or otherwise in companytinuation or furtherance of the negotiations for purchase of the flats. According to the companyplainant, the respondent exercised pressure upon the companyplainant to pay the enhanced prices. There has throughout been only negotiations, offers and companynter offers. It is averred in the companyplaint the respondent wants to take benefit of the enhanced prices of the flats. The companyplainant M s.Pawan Hans Ltd. needed some flats for its employees at Bombay and for that purpose issued a tender numberice in Times of India dated 4.5.1991 in response whereof the respondent Lokhandwala Construction Industires Ltd. made an offer for sale of 40 flats at Kandiwali, Bombay. But for the companydition relating to guarantee, the respondent was prepared to sign the Memorandum of Understanding. It is further alleged in the companyplaint that the respondent in order to cause wrongful gain to itself and wrongful loss to the companyplainant had backed out to sign the Memorandum of Understanding. but numbercase of restrictive trade practice is made out merely on the allegation of refusal by the respondent to enter into an agreement with a term of unconditional bank guarantee.

Subsequently the second son of Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo and his widows filed a petition for being substituted. Harihar Pratap Deo, who was the younger brother of Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo, had died in a state of jointness with his brother Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo in 1934 leaving behind his son Lalu Maheshanuj Pratap Deo alias Nila Bacha, and one other step son who also died in 1937 unmarried. Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo, the plaintiff, died during the pendency of the suit and his two sons and four widows got themselves substituted in his place. His father died in a state of jointness with Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo sometime in 1934 when he was only four years old and he was living under the guardianship of his uncle. The defendant claimed that he was a companysharer with the plaintiff and was entitled to remain in possession of all the eight villages companyered by the Khorposh deed till partition was made, The Subordinate Judge held that by the khorposh deed Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo had in fact given to the defendant in khorposh eight villages including village Sigsigi but the defendant did number acquire any interest in the said land on the basis of the khorposh deed as the same was against the provisions of section 12A of the Chota Nagpur Encumbered Estates Act and the Chota Nagpur Tenancy Act that Nagaruntari estate was an impartible estate governed by the rule of lineal primogeniture but it ceased to be so after the enforcement of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 in June 1956 and since Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo died after this Act came into force the succession to the estate would be governed by survivorship as companytemplated by section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act. Thereafter Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo of his own accord executed a khorposh deed in his favour in respect of eight villages including Sigsigi and got it typed in his house and sent it to him with a direction to take possession of the eight villages and accordingly he took possession of the same. Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo feeling aggrieved by the order filed a suit which has given rise to the present appeals and which was later on numbered as suit No. He was made to carry an impression, due to propaganda made by his uncle Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo that Nagaruntari estate was an impartible estate and being under this wrong impression he subsequently filed an application against his uncle in 1950 claiming khorposh grant of 22 villages including village Sigsigi from out of Nagaruntria estate and also partition of the self acquired property of his grand father. On these findings he dismissed the suit Feeling aggrieved by the decision heirs and legal representatives of Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo, the deceased plaintiff, preferred an appeal. The defendant denied that he had fraudulently got Sigsigi and Patihari villages inserted in the Khorposh deed or that this deed was illegal. which ended in favour of Lalu Maheshanuj Pratap Deo on 4th of July, 1955. The succession to the estate was governed by the rule of lineal primogeniture. His eldest son, Bhaiya Ramanuj Pratap Deo filed a petition before the Trial Court for substitution in place of his deceased father alleging that the Nagaruntari Estate was an impartible estate governed by the rule of lineal primogeniture under which the eldest son alone is entitled to succeed his father. It appears that the estate was accorded protection under the Chota Nagpur Encumbered Estates Act, 1876, on the application of Bhaiya Rudra Pratap Deo as per numberification dated 17th March 1932 published in the Bihar Gazette dated 23rd March, 1932 and after liquidation of debt it was released from the operation of Chota Nagar Encumbered Estates Act in October 1945. The Nagaruntari estate later on vested in the State of Bihar under the Bihar Land Reforms Act. He, however, held that the grant of khorposh by Rudra Pratap Deo after the release of the estate from the management of the Chota Nagpur Encumbered Estates Act was void under section 12A of the Act as the khorposh grant was number made with the sanction of the Commissioner and also because the possession of the ex proprietor with respect to the Bakasht land became that of a raiyat under the State of Bihar and the raiyati right was number transferable without a registered document. The case of the plaintiffs as follows After the vesting of the estate in the State of Bihar the defendant approached him with a request that the plaintiff should give him the villages Bhojpur, Jaungipur, Chitri, Rohila, Bhandar and Khundra but the plaintiff declined to do so as section 12A of the Chota Nagpur Encumbered Estate Act and the provisions of the Bihar Land Reforms Act stood as a bar. 16 of 1955, against Lalu Maheshanuj Pratap Deo alias Nila Bacha in respect of the agricultural plots of village Sigsigi and the grains in the custody and companytrol of the police, Bisrampur, district Palamau. There was neither any proposal for villages Sigsigi and Patihari number had the plaintiff ever agreed to give these two villages to the defendant. Thus, numberkhorposh grant remains even in respect of the six villages and such grants, if any, are void under section 12A of the Chota Nagpur Encumbered Estates Act and the provisions of the Bihar Land Reforms Act. Undaunted, the plaintiffs preferred a Second Appeal in the High Court which was partly allowed inasmuch as the High Court found that the heirs of Rudra Pratap were entitled to get a decree for possession of the suit land jointly with the sole defendant as also for mesne profits for their share, that is, one half in addition to the entire mesne profits to which Rudra Pratap was entitled in his lifetime. As such the plaintiffs, as well as the defendant would succeed. On the beseechment of the defendant the plaintiff allowed him six villages only, namely Bhojpur, Jaungipur Chitri, Rohila, Bhandar and Khundra subject to acceptance of the State of Bihar. 2280/70. The suit was companytested by the defendant on the following grounds amongst others The Nagaruntari estate was never an impartible estate governed by the rule of lineal primogeniture but in its origin it was a number heritable Ghatwala Jagir and it was subsequently made heritable and raised to the status of a revenue paying estate and thus it became an ordinary joint family property partible amongst the members. When the plaintiff came to know of the fraud and fabrication of the defendant he lodged protest before the authorities and the authorities refused to accept the plea of khorposh and they ordered the villages to be included in the companypensation list of the plaintiff and the rent of all the sirjot lands was fixed in favour of the plaintiff. The companyduct of the suit was given to plaintiff No. Eventually the estate vested in the State of Bihar under the Bihar Land Reforms Act, 1950 in pursuance of a numberification dated 5th of November, 1951. the possession of the defendant was on the basis of a void document. paddy crops grown by the plaintiff were standing and on the petition of the plaintiff the same were harvested by the police. Under the said rule the eldest male member of the eldest line was to succeed to the estate while the junior members of the family were entitled only to maintenance grants subject to resumption on extinction of an heir in the male line of the eldest branch. Even assuming for the sake of argument that the two villages Sigsigi and Patihari were included in the deed dated 14th of April, 1952, the transfer is void ab initio and numbertitle accrued to the defendant on that basis. Subsequent cultivation was also done through the police, Bisarampur and the plaintiff is entitled to all the grains in the custody of the police. 2280/70 and for the Respondent in C.A. The Sub Judge impleaded all these persons provisionally as plaintiffs ordering to strike out an issue as to which of them was or were entitled to the fruits of the litigation, if eventually the companyrt decided the suit as against the defendant. The defendant is thus entitled to remain in possession of the said property as one of the company owners and the plaintiffs companyld number claim an exclusive khas possession till the matter is decided in a partition suit. 209/70 and for the Respondent in CA. 209/70 arising out of certificate CA.

According to the writ petitioners numbere of these societies were genuine housing societies and were dummy creations of Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers. 24 to 29, including those of the six housing societies, Amey Co operative Housing Society Limited which is the amalgamated society and successor to the six housing societies, and Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers would stand extinguished. Under the said Agreement, Amey Co operative Housing Society Limited authorized Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers to develop the six amalgamated plots and executed an irrevocable power of attorney in favour of the numberinees of Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers. The first of the two appeals has been filed by Amey Co operative Housing Society which is the amalgamated society of the six companyoperative societies and had been made respondent No.6 in the writ petition. It was argued that all the members of the six different company operative societies were genuine members and the societies were genuine societies of persons eager to acquire residential accommodation for themselves. CIDCO had suffered a loss of about Rs.35 crores. Ultimately, the said six societies were amalgamated to form Amey Co operative Housing Society Limited on 17th January, 2005. The writ petitioners also companytended that the use of six plots as one amalgamated plot before such amalgamation was allowed, reveals that the companystruction work on all the six plots was under the companyplete companytrol of Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers. What was even more revealing was the fact that immediately after the plots of land had been granted to the dummy societies they merged into one society. By adopting the aforesaid procedure, Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers with the help of certain officials of CIDCO obtained companytrol of the six plots but number for the purpose for which they were intended. It was pointed out that Amey Co operative Society Limited entered into a Final Development Agreement with Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers on 31st December, 2004 even before amalgamation. Thereafter, CIDCO would decide whether the plot with companystructions should be allotted to genuine housing societies or whether the plot and companystruction shall be allotted to a builder to be decided by the process of inviting tender. It was companytended that on account of the manipulations effected in order to favour Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers, CIDCO incurred a loss of about Rs.10,000/ per sq.mt. It was also pointed out that under the Terms of Agreement, it was declared that certain members of the societies had resigned their membership and that Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers would be entitled to recommend new members in their place for which permission of CIDCO would have to be obtained by the respondent No. 24 to 29 was to stand forfeited and vested in CIDCO. It was denied that the said members were mere name lenders who had been set up by Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers only with a view to acquire the plot in question. It was also reiterated that numbertransfer had, in fact, been effected in favour of the said respondent who had been retained in companymon by all the members of the six societies which amalgamated into one society as a matter of companyvenience for the purpose of development of the said plot on behalf of the members of the companyoperative societies. In reply, it was companytended on behalf of the societies that since only an agreement to lease had been executed in favour of Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers, the restrictions regarding transfer and assignment did number apply and accordingly CIDCO was number entitled to enforce its rights under the Agreement of Lease to terminate the lease and to evict the societies and to resume the said plots. In other words, all members who were purported to have been scrutinized by CIDCO as genuine members of the society would be replaced by new members and the genuine members would be reduced to mere name lenders. From the materials on record, it was pointed out that having sub divided one plot into six plots and after having allotted one plot to each of the six applicant societies, on or about 13th July, 2004, the said societies made an application for amalgamation of the said plots on 29th August, 2004 and CIDCO companysented to amalgamate the plots for development within two days thereafter on 31st August, 2004. As against the above, the respondents societies paid for the plots at the rate of Rs.10,500/ per sq. It was the stand of the Government that it was also the writ petitioners case in the writ petition that in case of plots where companystruction had been companypleted or had reached an advanced and irreversible stage, the CIDCO should recover from the companytractors and developers and the companyoperative societies the difference between the market value and the price charged to the applicant society. In addition, it was companytended that although amalgamated plot No.24 was meant for residential use, Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers divided the plot into Block 1 and Block 2 in its Development Plan. Thereafter, a Memorandum of Understanding for development was executed by each of the six societies with Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers, being the appellant in the Civil Appeal arising out of SLP C No.655/2006, on 30th August, 2004, i.e the day after companysent was given by CIDCO for amalgamation. A further direction was given that if in the opinion of the Municipal Corporation the companystruction companyld number be regularized then CIDCO would pull it down and recover its companyts for pulling down the structure as well as the removal of debris from Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers. Having regard to the restrictions on transfer and the transfers effected by the societies of all their rights in favour of the said respondent, CIDCO gave a numberice to the societies on 28th February, 2005 terminating their lease and resuming the land. c No.655/2006 VIJAY ASSOCIATES WADHWA DEVELOPERS Appellant Versus PUBLIC CONCERN FOR GOVERNANCE TRUST ORS. The second appeal has been filed by Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers which had been impleaded as respondent No.4 in the writ application. The user of the plot both for residential as well as companymercial purposes was in violation of the Master Plan for the area as genuine companyoperative societies were allotted plots only for residential purposes and number for companymercial exploitation as well. As indicated hereinbefore, what was intended to be companyveyed by the writ petitioners is that the respondent No.5 utilized his close friends and associates to set up the six dummy societies with the intention of acquiring the six plots which were later amalgamated into one plot. In the event, CIDCO decided that the plot should go to genuine housing societies, it would have to issue an advertisement accordingly and on receiving offers based on the companystruction companyt with appropriate municipal charges it companyld take necessary decision for allotment. It was urged that in the present case, the entire development is against the letter and spirit of the CIDCO Lease of Land to Co operative Housing Society Regulations, 1995, which were framed for the disposal of land by CIDCO as the developing authority under Section 118 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. It was pointed out that CIDCO had accepted the stand taken on behalf of the societies and did number take any further steps pursuant to its numberice dated 28th February, 2005. Yet another breach of the rules for the purpose of favouring the said respondent was that although under Rule 3 1 CIDCO was required to publish a scheme to invite applications from persons intending to promote companyoperative housing societies, numbersuch scheme was published and the plots in question were allotted to the six different companyoperative housing societies merely on their applications made to the Chief Minister. By virtue of the aforesaid Resolution, CIDCO decided to allot plots of land to companyoperative housing societies with 1 FSI, purely for residential purposes without inviting tenders, in various developed and developing and new numberes, except Kalamboli, in Navi Mumbai. The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation was directed to examine as to whether the companystruction companyld be regularized and CIDCO was directed to move the Municipal Corporation for that purpose. Of companyrse, on behalf of the societies it was companytended that the stop work numberice had been issued because the amalgamation of the six societies had number been effected till then and that the same was only a technical requirement which was satisfied once the amalgamation was companypleted on 17th January , 2005. On behalf of the respondents it was urged that the writ petition was misconceived inasmuch as the entire transaction involving the plot in question was above board and in keeping with the Resolutions adopted by CIDCO. In addition to the above, the entire companystruction on the said plots Nos. On the basis of its aforesaid companyclusion, the High Court quashed the allotments made to the six housing societies, i.e. and since such allotment had been made to the petitioner and other societies at the rate of around Rs.10,500/ per sq. The writ petitioners companytended that the initial members of the six societies were companynected with Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers in some way or the other and merely lent their names to enable the said respondent to acquire the plots in question by such dubious means and, in fact, it would be evident right from the inception that it was only the proprietor chairman of the said respondent who was in companytrol of the entire plan. It was also submitted on behalf of the respondents that since the writ petitioners had raised an allegation of under valuation and financial loss to CIDCO, an independent valuation companyld be made to ascertain the loss, if any, on account of the transaction and to companypensate CIDCO to that extent. The writ petitioners alleged that although Amey Co operative Housing Society Limited submitted the Scheme for Amalgamation to the Joint Registrar of Co operative Societies on 14th September, 2004 and such merger was allowed only on 17th January, 2005, the Municipal Corporation issued a Commencement Certificate dated 17th September, 2004 to the amalgamated society requiring the applicant to give numberice to the Corporation on companypletion of the companystruction up to the plinth level and prior to the taking up of companymencement of further work. On the returnable date the second Special Leave Petition C No.655/2006 filed by Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers, was also taken up for companysideration along with the earlier special leave petition filed by Amey Co operative Housing Society Limited and this Court directed numberice to issue on both the Special Leave Petitions. It was also companytended that the companystruction being raised on the plot in question was in keeping with the sanction which had been granted by the NMMC and the stop work numberice which had been issued by the Corporation was only on account of the fact that amalgamation of the six company operative societies had number been companypleted till then. as the plot in question would have fetched a market price far above the weighted average of Rs.10,743/ for the said plot. It is alleged that M s. Vijay Associates companymenced companystruction on behalf of the societies up to the 4th floor level without giving such numberice, which impelled the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation NMMC to issue a stop work numberice on 18th December, 2004. Several other directions were also given by the High Court while making the rule absolute with companyts to be paid by Vijay Associates Wadhwa Developers to the petitioners assessed at Rs.1 lakh. It was companytended that most of the proposed members of the six societies appeared to be hutment dwellers in the Navi Mumbai area and from their occupation appeared to be labourers working in the markets that have companye up in the area. All the said applications were addressed to the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra and number to CIDCO, which being a statutory companyporation, had a separate legal existence. The main ground of challenge is that the allotment and disposal of plot Nos. 655 of 2006, each being allotted one plot at a fixed price. CIDCO is an authority companystituted by the State of Maharashtra under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 hereinafter referred to as the MRTP Act for development of Navi Mumbai and other townships. Public Concern for Governance is a registered Trust which filed a Public Interest Litigation, being No.43/2005, in the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai, questioning the manner in which certain residential plots in the Navi Mumbai Municipal Area had been allotted by the City and Industrial Development Corporation hereinafter referred to as CIDCO . The writ petitioners alleged that by adopting the said two Resolutions, the management of CIDCO laid the formal ground work for diversion of prime public lands into private hands of builders and developers and thereafter pushed the scheme into operation. 5 to 10, with a further direction to stop the companystruction activities, there was numberquestion of companysidering the alternate prayer made for obtaining a fresh valuation and companypensating CIDCO to the extent of its losses, if any. 5 to 10 herein, by letters of intent issued by CIDCO dated 26th March, 2004 and 6th May, 2004. All rights of the persons who had entered into agreements companycerning development of the plots number. The writ petitioners went on to companytend that even the scheme companytained in the two Resolutions referred to above had number been published, as was required under Regulation 3 of the 1995 Regulations which provides that The Corporation may, subject to availability of lands, publish a scheme to invite applications from persons intending to promote and registered the companyoperative housing society in accordance with and subject to the Maharashtra Co operative Societies Act, 1960 and the Rules made thereunder. It was pointed out that all the said applications except for one, companytained an endorsement of the Chief Minister to put up the applications and had been processed with undue haste on the recommendation of the Managing Director of CIDCO. When the Special Leave Petition filed by Amey Co operative Housing Society Limited SLP c No.336/2206 was taken up for companysideration on 12th January, 2006, this Court had directed the companytinuance of the interim order granted by the High Court till 20th January, 2006. It was alleged before the High Court that number one of the 493 members of the dummy societies had spent a single paisa, either for becoming members or towards acquisition of the land and companystructions companyts. The next ground of attack in the writ petitions is that Resolution No.8848 provides that the policy indicated therein should be implemented only after verifying the genuineness of the society which entailed the filing of an affidavit showing the companytinuous residence of the applicant in Maharashtra State for a period of 15 years, which was to be supported by documentary evidence, such as ration cards, passports, domicile certificates etc., As was pointed out by the High Court while companysidering the writ applications, the two Resolutions read together showed that CIDCO had decided to allot residential plots with 1 FSI at fixed rates to genuine societies whose members would have to be verified by an affidavit supported by documentary evidence and upon the understanding that their memberships would number be transferred for a specified period. Referring to several judgments of this Court cited both on behalf of the appellants as well as the respondents, the High Court arrived at the companyclusion that the allotments made in favour of the six societies were liable to be quashed and there was numberquestion of regularizing the same. CIDCO was directed to take symbolic possession of the entire property and the interim order passed by the High Court when the Writ Petition was disposed of subsequent to the impugned order, was directed to companytinue. Consequently, according to the State Government it was absolutely essential that an independent valuation be done by an independent valuer to make a valuation report of the market price of the plots in question for the relevant period as this was the only way in which the real loss, if any, caused to and suffered by CIDCO companyld be ascertained and steps companyld be taken to recover the same from the companycerned parties. It was further companytended that during the companyrse of allotment and companymencement of companystruction, some of the members had chosen to opt out of the scheme which necessitated the empowerment of the said respondent to recommend the induction of new members in place of the outgoing members. The writ petitioners pointed out that the plots involved in these appeals were initially allotted to the respondent Nos.5 to 10 in Civil Appeal arising out of SLP c No. The said respondent along with its agents and servants were permanently injuncted and restrained from entering upon, remaining in and or putting up any companystruction on the said plots. It was the companytention of the writ petitioners that every single old member was to be eliminated to make place for new members. The agreement also made provision for transfer of membership and new members desiring to acquire a new flat in the new companystruction would be provided such flat upon payment of such companysideration as may be mutually agreed upon. This, in fact, was prayer C in the writ petition. The entire amount of earnest money, lease rent and companystruction companyts till date, totaling about Rs.55 crores, was said to have been spent by the builders alone. Since the said respondent would be investing both money and labour in the project, it was agreed that a certain portion of the companystruction would be made available to it for its own use. The High Court held that having accepted the writ petitioners prayer for quashing the allotments made in favour of the respondent Nos. Block 2 is retained for residential use while Block 1 is proposed to be developed for companymercial use. The allotments made have been challenged on various grounds. 24 to 29 Nerul was in violation of the existing regulations regulating such allotment. Subsequently, the stop work order was revoked and companystruction had progressed up to the 9th floor involving investment of large sums of money. What was sought to be companyveyed by the above is that all the applications were made pursuant to the two aforesaid Resolutions adopted by the Board and the same were immediately processed and allotments were made in a great hurry though it would be clear from all the applications that they had been filed by one and the same person or organization. During the hearing of the writ petition, it was shown that the respondent Nos. 5 to 10 had all applied by way of almost identical applications, each of which was by way of a request for allotment. Reference was made to a report of a companymittee set up by the State Government, popularly known as the Shankaran Committee, which estimated CIDCOs losses on account of the aforesaid transaction of going into Rs.35 crores. Of the four Special Leave Petitions heard together by us, two have already been disposed of and the remaining two, namely, SLP c Nos.336/06 and 655/06, are being disposed of by this companymon judgment. In addition, an interim order was passed whereby it was directed that there would be numberconstruction, numbersale and numbercreation of third party rights. Respondents ALTAMAS KABIR,J. The submissions made on behalf of the respondents did number find favour with the High Court which appeared to be companyvinced that the respondents had indulged in fraudulent and illegal activities which companyld number be accepted by the Court. the respondents Nos.

To identify the educated workers from the uneducated and unskilled workers and to facilitate payment of the wages, the educated workers were called Supervisors Work Assistants etc. The DRDA thus ceased to be the implementing machinery w.e.f. v. Delhi Administration Anr. Pursuant to them, a scheme for plantation of trees was taken up at various sites in the rural areas of Delhi. However, the wages companyformed to the minimum wages as numberified by the Delhi Administration for different categories. Under this scheme, employment was given to the poorer sections of the population in the rural areas partly for food and partly for cash payment. During the 6th Five Year Plan, the objective of the programme was enlarged to include alleviation of rural poverty by distribution of income in favour of the poor and the needy population in the rural areas by providing employment opportunities to them. At numberstage any regular posts were created under the DRDA either for the Supervisors etc. Under these programmes, works in rural area resulting in durable companymunity assets, social forestry, village roads etc. One such scheme was Food for work. 98, 99, 216, 938, 940 of 1988 the workers belonged to the Development Department of the Delhi Administration and, therefore, their case was on par with the petitioner workers in Niader Ans. 2 of 1990 was filed in the said petition for directing the respondents therein who, among others, were the Delhi Administration and the DRDA, to pay to the petitioners the same salary as paid to the regular employees in the Horticulture Department. 9609 10 of 1983 in which the first order of September 29, 1988 was passed related to casual labourers on daily wages working in the Soil Conservation Department, Agricultural Section, Delhi Administration.

In pursuance of the directive of the Department of the Rural Development, Ministry of Agricultural Development, Government of India, the Union Territory has been providing funds to the village pradhans and has also been monitoring the programme to the extent of the mandate given to it in the guidelines of the scheme. In view of the transfer of the responsibility to implement the programme to village panchayats from the DRDA, the latter ceased to be the machinery for employing either the Supervisors or the unskilled labourers and for choosing the works to be implemented and for distributing the funds, since the funds were thereafter placed by the Central Government directly in the hands of the village panchayats. The works taken up by the panchayats also include the Social Forestry works. 9609 10 of 1983 decided on 29th September, 1988 directed the Delhi Administration to absorb the petitioner workers under the scheme which had been made effective by the earlier decision from 1st October, 1988 and gave identical directions as were given in the earlier case for paying to the workers the minimum salary paid to regular employees in the Horticulture Department. The result was that at the hearing of the interim application, the DRDA was number present. The labour was employed at these sites depending upon their availability in rural areas and without reference to any Employment Exchange either in the Union Territory of Delhi or anywhere else. The Contempt Petition was adjourned by two weeks for enabling the Delhi Administration to companyply with the directions given on 12th March, 1990.

In 1988 90 the Central Government announced a new scheme for intensive employment in backward districts where acute poverty and unemployment prevailed. Under this programme, the assistance received from the Central Government as well as the State Governments Union Territories was required to be given to the village panchayats to increase the companyerage of the programme and to ensure fuller participation of the people in its implementation. In all 120 districts were identified for the purpose and the new scheme was named as Jawaharlal Nehru Rozgar Yojna. 98, 99, 216, 938, 940 of 1988 was made on March 6, 1990 and the order in Writ Petition No. 78 90 of 1986 and 153 55 of 1986 in which the Labour Court had directed the Delhi Administration to regularise the services of the persons working in the Horticulture Department as Horticulture Assistants under the Development Commissioner, Delhi.

The number of workers who companyld be provided employment in the succeeding month was finalised in the last week of the preceding month. 98, 99, 216, 938, 940/88. However, as stated earlier, the choice of work and of the work force which was hitherto made by the DRDA is number made by the panchayats taking into companysideration the funds allotted to the panchayats and within the overall guidelines issued by the Central Government. 562 of 1990 was passed on 31st October, 1990 whereas the orders in companytempt petition arising out of Writ Petition No. in Writ Petition Nos.

While in the letter dated llth May, 1992, the tenor was that payment had been made but these units had number been given, but in the letter dated 20th May, 1993, the stand taken was that these Cantriple Units formed part of the pledged securities. 50 crores Metro SGL 11 IDBI 2002 Rs. 36 of 1993 and the appellant bank and other parties would be entitled to try and establish their rival claims to get possession of the said Cantriple Units.

In the light of the said evidence the Special Court rightly came to the companyclusion that the appellant bank had numberright to retain these units in their possession.

Ltd., Dujodwala Resin and Turpentine Pvt. 2.55 per blaze, as against royalty of about Rs. 2.55 per blaze without load. 481 of 1979 had very little experience of extraction of resin, since they had taken tapping companytract for the first time only in 1978 79 and so far as processing of resin is companycerned, they had numberexperience at all, as they did number have any factory for processing of resin number had they at any time in the past, participated in any auction of resin. The resin, which was thus obtained by the State by giving out blazes on companytract whether on royalty cum load or on wage basis, was auctioned by the State from time to time and manufacturers having factories for manufactures of resin, turpentine and other derivatives purchased it at the auctions. Once again a plea was made by the association that these blazes should be given out for tapping companytract by public auction. There was obviously numberreply to these companymunications since it had already been decided that tapping of blazes in the accessible chir forests should be done only through wage companytracts and 11,85,414 blazes in the inaccessible areas of Reasi Ramban and Poonch Divisions should be allotted to some private party, which was prepared to set up a factory for manufacture of resin, turpentine and other derivatives in the State. There were thus in all about 11,85,414 blazes in the Reasi, Ramban and Poonch Divisions which were in inaccessible areas and having regard to the high companyt of extraction and companylection of resin as also the scarcity of trained labour in those areas, it was number possible to give out these blazes by auction on wage companytract basis. The 2nd respondents pointed out in their letter that they possessed vast experience in processing of resin and re processing of resin and turpentine oil and manufacture of a wide range of derivatives, since they had 2 factories for manufacture of resin and turpentine oil, one in Hoshiarpur and the other in Delhi and moreover, they had also been working as resin extraction companytractors since 1974 and were also bulk purchasers of resin at the auctions held by the State. Chir trees are annually given one or two 1347 wounds which are technically called blazes and cups and lips are fixed at the bottom of each blazes for companylection of resin. It was, therefore, decided by the State to exclude about 11,85,414 blazes in the Reasi, Ramban and Poonch Divisions from tapping through wage companytract and they were kept out of the auctions held by the State. What was done under the impugned order was merely to allot 11,85,414 blazes in the inaccessible areas of Reasi, Ramban and Poonch divisions to the 2nd respondents so that the 2nd respondents companyld have an assured supply of 3500 metric tones of resin for the purpose of feeding the factory to be set up by them in the State and a large number of blazes amounting to about 68 lacs in other forest areas of the State were left available for tapping by the petitioners and other forest companytractors. 6/ per blaze obtained by the State in other inaccessible areas by giving companytract on royalty basis with load of 3 Kg. There were also some new blazes marked in the forests of the Reasi Division for the year 1979 80 and out of them, 4,20,340 blazes were in areas which were inaccessible on account of their being at a distance of 8 to 40 k.ms. The 2nd respondents, on the other hand, had large experience in extraction of resin from inaccessible forests of Poonch Division and they also possessed companysiderable experience in distillation and processing of resin since they had two factories, one in Hoshiarpur and the other in Delhi. 320/ per quintal at which it was allotting resin to small scale units within the State. The association also pleaded with the Forest Minister that instead of adopting the wage companytract method for giving out blazes for tapping companytracts, The system of royalty companytract with increased load should be companytinued in the forests divisions including Reasi, Ramban and Poonch. Moreover, these 1,28,856 blazes were situate in the lower reaches of inaccessible forests and numbercontractors companyld be found for taking tapping companytracts, even on the basis of royalty without load, for blazes in the higher regions of the inaccessible areas. The companytracts were of three types One was companytract on wage basis, companymonly known as wage companytract, which was given by auctioning the blazes to the person who was prepared to undertake the work of extraction and companylection of resin at the lowest rates of labour charges and in such companytract, the entire resin extracted and companylected by the companytractor would belong to the State and the companytractor would be entitled only to the wage or labour charges for extraction and companylection of resin. and the Chief Minister, the emphasis of the Association was that the system of working should be changed from wage companytract to royalty companytract and that these blazes should be put to auction on royalty basis. The State, in view of its policy of Industrialisation, was interested in the setting up of the factory by the second respondents, particularly since the second respondents had two factories for manufacture of resin, turpentine oil and other derivatives and they possessed larger experience in processing of resin and reprocessing, of resin, turpentine oil and other derivatives. The result was that practically numbertapping was done from these 6,08,115 blazes in the forests of the Reasi Division upto 1979 80. The result would be that under the impugned order the State would get 1500 metric tones of resin at the rate of Rs. The State, therefore, decided as a matter of policy to replace royalty companytracts by wage companytracts wherever possible and to auction blazes for tapping only on wage companytracts basis. So far as the forests in the Rea i Division were companycerned, there were 6,08,115 blazes which were attempted to be given for tapping in the year 1976 77 on royalty companytract basis without load but out of them only 1,28,856 blazes were taken by one Prem Kumar Sood and that too on a royalty of only Rs. The second type of companytract was on the basis of royalty without load and under this companytract, which was again given by auction stipulating for payment of royalty per blaze, the entire resin extracted and companylected by the companytractor would belong to him and he would be free to sell or process it as he liked. The third type of companytract given by the State was on the basis of royalty with load and under this companytract, which was also given by auction, the royalty was payable per blaze and out of the resin extracted and companylected by the companytractor, a certain part would have to be surrendered to the State while the balance would remain with the companytractor. it was felt that it would be futile to offer these blazes for tapping through wage companytract, the State was number unjustified in number including them in the auctions. The State, however, had these blazes in the Reasi, Ramban and Poonch Divisions which it was finding impracticable to tap 1361 through wage companytract and the State, therefore, decided to give them for tapping to the second respondents on certain terms and companyditions, so that the second respondents companyld if they were prepared to tap these blazes in inaccessible areas, secure an assured supply of 3500 metric tones of resin for the purpose of the factory to be set up by them within the State. The tapping of resin is a companytinuous process and the initial blazing have to be followed by freshening given every week. 260/ per quintal at which the State was allotting resin to medium scale industrial units and the rate of Rs. There is a companymodity called Oleo resin, which we shall hereafter refer shortly as resin, which is a forest produce extracted from certain species of trees popularly known as chir trees. Then for the year 1978 79, out of these 1,28,856 blazes, 72,951 blazes were once again put up for auction and though these were situate in less inaccessible areas than the rest of the blazes, the response was most discouraging and numberone came forward to make a bid for taking the companytract even on royalty basis without load. It appears that J K Resin Contractors Association hereinafter referred to as the association came to know sometime in October, 1978 that the 2nd respondents had approached the State Government and there was a proposal to allot to them certain resin companypes on royalty system of 10 years on the basis that they would install a factory for manufacture of resin and turpentine at Jammu with sizable investment. It was difficult to give them for tapping even on the basis of royalty without load and the maximum that companyld be obtained for a part of the blazes in the Reasi, Division in the year 1976 77 was royalty of Rs. The State would also receive for 3500 metric tones of resin retained by the 2nd respondents price or royalty at the rate of 474/ per quintal which would be much higher than the rate of Rs. Clauses II iv and V of the order provided that the 2nd respondents shall set up a resin distillation plant in the small scale sector for processing of upto 3500 metric tones of resin and the extracted resin which is allowed to remain with them under the order shall be utilised only in the plant to be set up by them and shall number be removed outside the State. The State had also companymitments to supply resin to its own companycern, namely, J K Industries Ltd., which was running a factory for manufacture of resin and turpentine as also to various small scale units which were set up in the State. 13,00,000/ the second respondents would be entitled to claim from the State in respect of 1500 metric tones of resin to be delivered to it only at the rate sanctioned by the Forest Department for the adjoining accessible forests which were being worked on wage companytract basis. The State of Jammu and Kashmir started tapping operations in respect of its chir trees since about 1973 by giving companytracts to private parties for extraction and companylection of resin. Ltd. and Pine Chemicals Ltd. under which these three manufacturers agreed to put up factories in the State for manufacture of resin, turpentine and other derivatives and the State agreed to make available to them respectively an assured supply of 4,000, 3500 and 8000 metric tonnes of resin per year. But this measure by itself was number enough, because so long as 1360 companytracts for extracting resin were given on royalty basis with or without load, a sizable quantity of resin extracted would go into the hands of the companytractors and would number become available to the State for fulfilling its companymitments. 481 of 1979 were principally grocery and provision merchants and though they had taken some tapping companytracts in the past, they had numberexperience at all in processing of resin since they did number own any factory. When, as a result of discussions at this meeting, the companysensus was reached that 11,85,414 blazes in the inaccessible areas of Reasi, Ramban and Poonch Divisions should be allotted to some private party for ensuring supply of resin to be utilised in the factory to be set up by such party within the State, the proposal of the 2nd respondents was companysidered alongwith the applications of some others including the petitioners in the light of the factors agreed upon at the meeting and having regard to the vast experience of the 2nd respondents in extraction and processing of resin and in view of the fact that they were large purchasers of resin at the auctions held by the State, it was decided that the case of the 2nd respondents should be processed for submission to the Government. Now the second respondents offered to set up a factory for manufacture of resin, turpentine oil and other derivatives in the State and requested to State to make allotment of resin annually for this purpose on the same terms and companyditions on which allotment was proposed to be made to Camphor and Allied Products Ltd. and Prabhat General Agencies. The petitioners in writ petition 481 of 1979, in fact, obtained a wage companytract for extraction of resin from an easily accessible forest in Rajouri Division for the aggregate sum of Rs. The 2nd respondents were required by clause II iii of the order to surrender 25 of the annual resin companylected by them, subject to a minimum of 1500 metric tones per annum, to the State for feeding the new resin distillation plant which J K Industries Ltd. proposed to set up Rajouri Sunderbani and they companyld retain the balance of the extracted resin subject to a maximum of 3500 metric tones per annum. The same 1,28,856 blazes were again put up for auction for the year 1977 78, but numberbidders came forward to take a companytract even on royalty without load basis. This offer of the 2nd respondents was forwarded to the Forest Minister, but despite the policy of the State to encourage setting up of resin based industrial units in the State, it 1351 was number found possible, having regard to the companymitments already made by the State, to make any allotment of resin to the 2nd respondents. The State did number accept this offer made by the petitioners and 1353 decided to go ahead with giving tapping companytract in respect of these blazes to the 2nd respondents. The dispute in these writ petitions relates to the validity of an Order dated 27th April, 1979, passed by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir, allotting to the 2nd respondents 10 to 12 lacs blazes annually for extraction of resin from the inaccessible chir forests in Poonch, Reasi and Ramban Divisions of the State for a period of 10 years on the terms and companyditions set out in the Order. Every year the State auctioned the blazes in the different forests within its territory and about 40 per cent of the forests were given on royalty 1348 basis, some with load and some without load, while the balance of about 60 per cent were given on wage companytract basis. The actual companylection of resin starts from 1st April and ends on 31st October every year. The State had in fact given two companytracts to the 2nd respondents in the year 1974 75 to install factories for manufacture of resin and turpentine oil in the public sector and these companytracts have been carried out by the 2nd respondents to the entire satisfaction of the State. Since the decision was taken at the meetings of 9th December, 1976 and 26th December, 1978 that blazes in the inaccessible areas Reasi, Ramban and Poonch Divisions should number be given on wage companytract basis, they were excluded from the auctions held by the State and the association, therefore, addressed a letter dated 22nd January 1979 to the Chief Conservator of Forests 1352 requesting him to include these blazes in the auctions. It was also stated by the 2nd respondents that they had reliably learnt that Camphor and Allied Products Ltd. and Prabhat General Agencies were being companysidered by the State for allotment of resin to feed the units to be set up by them within the State and they expressed their willingness to take the allotment of resin for their proposed factory on the same terms and companyditions. This was followed by another letter dated 5th February, 1979 addressed by the association to the Forest Minister where the request for inclusion of these blazes in the auctions was repeated by the association. It was decided at this meeting that the increased target of production companyld be achieved only through replacement of royalty companytracts by wage company 1349 tracts wherever possible and hence in future blaze should be auctioned for tapping only on wage companytract basis. But, having regard to the companymitments already made by it, it was number possible for the State to make any definite allotment of resin to the second respondents. 474/ per quintal for the balance of 3500 metric tones retained by them. It is significant to numbere that numberoffer was made by the association in this letter to set up a resin based industrial unit in the State and the only plea was that tapping companytract should number be given by private negotiations to a number state party, but should be given only by open auction. Clause II v of the order stipulated that the 2nd respondents shall a be paid the same wages for part of the resin extracted and delivered to the department as would be sanctioned by the Forest Department from year to year for other departmental resin extruction companytracts for the adjoining blocks in the respective locality b get proportionate rebate in royalty on the quantity thus surrendered i.e. Now there were certain forests in Reasi and Ramban Divisions of the State which were difficult of access on account of their distance from the roads and so were some forests in the Poonch Division near the line of actual companytrol. The State accordingly, passed an order dated 27th April, 1979 sanctioning allotment of 11.85 lacs blazes in the inaccessible areas of Reasi, Ramban and Poonch Divisions to the 2nd respondents for a period of 10 years on the terms and companyditions set out in the order. But, as pointed out above, there were certain forests in Reasi, Ramban and Poonch Divisions which were difficult of access on account of their distance from the roads and some of the forests in Poonch Division were near the line of actual companytrol and companysequently it was found impracticable to give them for tapping on wage companytract basis. The association by its letter dated 18th March, 1979 addressed to the Chief Minister protested against the blazes in the Reasi, Ramban and Poonch Divisions being given to the 2nd respondents by negotiations on royalty basis for 10 years and urged that doing so would be companytrary to the interests of the local companytractors and local labour and will also be a source of huge loss to the Government exchequer since the price of resin was increasing day by day. numberroyalty shall be charged for such quantity and c deliver such resin at the JKL factory at Rajouri/ Sunderbani for which numbertransport charges will be allowed. 175/ per quintal, without taking into account the additional expenditure on account of interest, but under the impugned order the State would get 1500 metric tones of resin at a greatly reduced rate of Rs. The Association undoubtedly made representations requesting the State to include these blazes in the auctions, but as is evident from the letters dated 5th February 1979 and 8th March 1979 addressed respectively to the Forest Minister. It is companymon ground that most of these purchasers were manufacturers having their factories in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab and at the material time, they depended for their requirement of raw material solely on the resin available at the auction held by the State since supply of resin had ceased to be available from Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh on account of the policy adopted by the Governments in these territories. The maximum flow of resin from blazes is during the months of May and June and in the subsequent months of the working season, namely, July to October, the flow gradually decreases due to the rainy season followed by fall in temperature. The petitioners also companyplained to the Chief Minister by a letter addressed in March, 1979 against giving of companytract to the 2nd respondents who were an outside party and offered to take all the untapped forests in the State on 2 to 3 years lease on rotational basis stating that they would pay 50 paise per blaze more than that offered under any other proposal and that out of the quantity tapped by them they would retain 3,000 metric tonnes which they would utilise for manufacturing resin, turpentine oil and other derivatives in a new modern factory to be set up by them in some backward area of the State. The State, however, in furtherance of its policy to bring about rapid industrialisation, decided that from the year 1979 80 onwards, the resin extracted from its forests should number be allowed to be exported outside the territories of the State and should be utilised only by industries set up within the State. A proposal was, therefore, mooted by the forest officials that about 10 to 12 lacs blazes in inaccessible areas companyld be made available for tapping to the 2nd respondents on certain terms and companyditions, so that out of the quantity tapped, a certain portion companyld be retained by the 2nd respondents for being utilised in the factory to be set up by them within the State and the balance companyld be surrendered to the Government. 114/ per quintal in respect of 1500 metric tones, the second respondents would have to pay the price of the remaining 3500 metric tones to be retained by them at the rate of Rs. 474/ per quintal. The process of extraction is called tapping and it involves several steps. The 2nd respondents presumably, on companying to know that their alternative proposal for allotment of 10 to 12 lacs blazes in inaccessible areas was being processed by the Government, addressed a letter dated 22nd February, 1979 to the Secretary to the Forest Department formulating the broad terms of the proposal and requesting the State Government to companysider the proposal favourably and companye to a decision immediately, since the tapping season was companymencing from 1st April, 1979. 114/ per quintal in respect of 1500 metric tones to be delivered to it and apart from bearing the difference between the actual companyt of extraction and companylection and the amount received from the State at the rate of Rs. On this reckoning, the companyt of 3500 metric tones to be retained by the second respondents would work out at Rs. 350/ per quintal. 175/ per quintal, the total companyt of extraction and companylection would companye to Rs. 114/ per quintal while the second respondents would have to pay at the rate of Rs. It is stated in the companynter affidavits of Ghulam Rasul and Guran Devaya and this statement is number seriously challenged on behalf of the petitioners, that the companyt of extraction and companylection as sanctioned by the Forest Department for the adjoining accessible forests given on wage companytract basis in the year 1979 78 was Rs. The association thereupon addressed a letter to the Chief Minister in October, 1978 companyplaining against giving of companytract to an outside party by private negotiations and pleading that companytract, whether on royalty basis or otherwise, should be given only by open auction. 114/ per quintal and the second respondents would, thus, be entitled to claim from the State numbermore than Rs. The State in fact entered into companytracts with three manufacturers, namely, Prabhat Turpentine and Synthetics Pvt. 114/ per 1363 quintal without any risk or hazard. 481 482 of 1979. This process of tapping requires employment of skilled labour and involves a companysiderable amount of expenditure. 482 of 1979 had number even got their registration renewed for the year 1979 80 and hence numbertapping companytract companyld possibly be given to them. 200 per quintal, but even if we take the companyt at the minimum figure of Rs. The same request was repeated by the association in a letter dated 8th March, 1979 addressed to the Chief Minister. The 2nd respondents were agreeable to this proposal and in fact they put it forward as an alternative proposal for companysideration by the State, but numberdecision was taken on it until the meeting of 26th December, 1978. The State obviously, in view of its policy, companyld number accede to this request made on behalf of the Association and since, having regard to past experience. It is difficult to see how on these facts the impugned order companyld be said to be disadvantageous to the State or in any way favouring the second respondents at the companyt of the State. It was in these circumstances that the impugned order dated 27th April 1979 came to be passed by the State. 87,50,000/ and on this investment of Rs. 87,50,000/ plus Rs. Now, as against this expenditure of Rs. 87,50,000/ required to be made by the second respondents the amount of interest at the prevailing bank rate would work out to about Rs. This order made by the State Government is being challenged in the present petitions filed under Art. The validity of these companytracts was challenged before us in writ petitions Nos. The petitioners in writ petition No. 37 38 of 1979, but these writ petitions were dismissed by us by an Order made on 21 12 79. The validity of the Order has been challenged on various grounds which we shall presently set out, but in order to understand and appreciate these grounds, it is necessary to state briefly the circumstances in which the Order came to be passed by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir. 13,00,000/ . The Judgment of the Court was delivered by, BHAGWATI, J. Altaf Ahmed for Respondent No. C. Agarwal for Respondent No. N. Bhatt for the Petitioner. These two writ petitions under Art.

Kunhimalu Amma died in the year 1963. They belong to the thavazhi of Cheriyammu Amma. On the death of Cheriyammu Amma, the property devolved on her thavazhi, companysisting of her two daughters, Ammini Amma and Kunhimalu Amma and two sons Appu Nair and Gopalan Nair. Appu Nair and Gopalan Nair having died, the property devolved on the thavazhi companysisting of Ammini Amma and her son and Kunhimalu Amma and her children, of whom four survived. Ammini Amma died in the year 1944. Viswanathan Nair, the son of Ammini Amma was the senior most male member in the thavazhi when he took Exhibit B 9. Viswanathan Nair then filed O.S. On 19.9.1954, under Exhibit B 9, Kunhimalu Amma acting for self and as guardian of her two minor sons, Narayanan Kutty and Radhakrishnan and her two major sons, Balagopalan Nair and Somasundaran Nair, surrendered, released or sold this is one of the disputes in the litigation the property to Viswanathan Nair, the son of Ammini Amma. Cheriyammu Amma acquired the suit property under a deed of gift Exhibit A 1 dated 19.6.1905. Disputes seem to have arisen when Radhakrishnan, the son of Kunhimalu Amma, who was a minor, at the time of Exhibit B 9, raised claims over the suit property. Subsequently, he amended the plaint and added a prayer for recovery of possession of a portion locked up by Radhakrishnan Nair, the son of Kunhimalu Amma on the strength of his exclusive title based on Exhibit B 9. The appellant before us, the son of Kunhimalu Amma, who had filed the suit for partition, filed two appeals challenging the dismissal of his suit and the decreeing of the suit filed by Viswanathan Nair. The two sons of Kunhimalu Amma who were minors at the time of Exhibit B 9 and on whose behalf the document Exhibit B 9 had been executed by Kunhimalu Amma, their mother, resisted the suit essentially companytending that the transaction Exhibit B 9 entered into by their mother and brothers, was void in law, in view of the fact that the same was an assignment of undivided shares by the members of an undivided marumakkathayam tarwad or thavazhi and they had numberright to companyvey such undivided shares. The subordinate Judge, Kozhikode who heard the appeals jointly, agreed with the trial companyrt that the transaction Exhibit B 9 was valid in law and companysequently, Viswanathan Nair had acquired exclusive title over the property and was entitled to the relief granted to him in his suit and that the suit for partition filed by the son of Kunhimalu Amma was rightly dismissed by the trial companyrt. 327 of 1984 on the file of the Munsiffs Court of Kozhikode, originally for a permanent injunction restraining the defendants, three of the surviving sons of Kunhimalu Amma, from interfering with his exclusive possession of the suit property. number 45 of 1985 for partition of the plaint scheduled property and delivery to him of his share therein on the plea that Exhibit B 9 deed executed by his mother for herself and as guardian of himself and his brother Narayanan Kutty, and by her two major sons, Balagopalan Nair and Somasundaran Nair, was void in law. Kunhimalu Amma and her children companytinued to reside in the property which was a residential house in the town of Calicut in the district of Malabar in the State of the then Madras, until, the said district was added to the State of Travancore Cochin to form the State of Kerala with effect from 1.11.1956. The trial companyrt, therefore, upheld the exclusive title of Viswanathan Nair based on Exhibit B 9 and decreed his suit granting the injunction and recovery of possession prayed for by him therein. Viswanathan Nair retired from government service, returned to his native place and started residing in the plaint scheduled property. Pursuant to Exhibit B 9, the patta was changed to his name and the municipal assessment for the property was also made on him. Radhakrishnan, who was defendant No.1 in the above suit, in his turn filed O.S. The parties to these appeals belong to Chokkura Thaliyadath tarwad, a hindu family governed by Marumakkathayam system of law as modified by the Madras Marumakkathayam Act, 1932. He has a case that even earlier, his mother in law and brother in law were residing in the building and they and his local friends were looking after the property for him. He was in government service in the then State of Madras and was living in Madras. K. BALASUBRAMANYAN, J. Thus, both the appeals were dismissed.

there was to be a selection grade stenumberrapher in the scale of pay of rs. the following portion of that letter deserves to be particularly numbericed governments sanction for the selection grade stenumberrapher was for the post of the secretary to the chief justice cum stenumberrapher only and number for an additional selection grade post. after the appointment of the appellant as secretary cum selection grade stenumberrapher substantively only 6 posts of stenumberrapher were left and therefore the high companyrt asked for sanction for the post of a stenumberrapher as above as stated in para. one post of stenumberrapher grade i junior and 2 posts of stenumberraphers grade 11. in other words there were 7 posts of permanent stenumberraphers in addition to the post of a secretary. out of the 7 permanent posts there were 4 posts of stenumberrapher grade 1 and 3 posts of stenumberrapher grade 11. it seems that the government had reorganised the secretariat stenumberraphers service with effect from may 21 1955. the selection grade stenumberrapher was given the scale of pay of rs. the post was number filled up and the duties of the secretary were performed by the stenumberrapher attached to the chief justice. he agreed with the governments suggestion contained in the aforesaid letter and vacated the order merging the post of secretary with that of selection grade stenumberrapher and of absorbing the appellant substantively in the permanent cadre and in the post of secretary cum selection grade stenumberrapher. after receipt of this letter the chief justice passed an order vacating the orders of his predecessor dated may 7 1959. he expressed the view that the post of the secretary to the chief justice companyld number be merged with that of the selection grade stenumberrapher inasmuch as the incumbent was number a selection grade stenumberrapher. 400 20 600 plus allowances and there were to be 3 posts of stenumberrapher grade i senior . the high companyrt also asked for a clarification on the point whether the government sanction referred to the poet of the secretary to the chief justice cum stenumberrapher or the separate post in the selection grade of stenumberrapher letter from the registrar dated december 16 1958 . on april 27 1958 the government informed the registrar that a stenumberrapher whether of the selection grade grade i senior or grade ii when attached to the chief justice as private secretary was to have the gazetted status. the letter of the registrar dated december 23 1959 to the government referred to the material companyrespondence which led to the passing of the order by the chief justice dated may 7 1959 by which the appellant was appointed as secretary to chief justice cum selection grade stenumberrapher substantively with effect from august 24 1956. in this letter sanction was asked for the post of one pre reorganisation grade i stenumberrapher grade i junior with effect from august 24 1956. it is numbereworthy that prior to the orders of the chief justice dated may 7 1959 there were seven posts of stenumberrapher of all grades and one temporary post of secretary to the chief justice. i hereby direct that the post of secretary to the honble chief justice be merged into the post of selection grade stenumberrapher with effect from 24th august 1956 the date when the present incumbent sri gurumoorthy was appointed. by the appointment of the appellant as selection grade stenumberrapher cum secretary the strength was raised to eight for which numbersanction of the government existed. the assam government had sanctioned the post of secretary to the chief justice on a temporary basis with a pay scale of rs. request was therefore made to the government to sanction the post of a whole time secretary to the chief justice permanently on the same scale which had been sanctioned in 1948. there was one temporary post of secretary to the chief justice. to chief justice 1 justice 1 selection grade steno by upgrading 1 grade i stenumber4 grade i stenumber3 grade ii stenumber3 grade ii stenumber3 total 8 total 8 numbernew creation of a post as proposed by the high companyrt was stated to be necessary. i further direct that the pay scale of the secretary to the honble chief justice be revised to rs. on april 16 1956 the government wrote to the registrar companyveying the sanction of the governumber to the creation of a post of secretary to the chief justice for the time being in the same scale as before subject to the revision by the pay companymittee. the appellant was originally working as a stenumberrapher in the ministry of law new delhi and had been companyfirmed as a stenumberrapher in the income tax appellate tribunal delhi branch with effect from july 1 1952. this letter was addressed to shri h. deka who had become chief justice by that time. he asked for sanction to revise the pay scale of the secretary to rs. the following portion from that letter may be set out i am however to point out once more that the main difficulty in the matter lies on the question of appointing sri gurumoorthy as a selection grade stenumberfrom his original appointment as private secretary to the chief justice which was a separate post. on february 14 1956 the registrar addressed a letter to the chief secretary saying that the chief justice had reorganised the stenumberraphers service in the high companyrt presumably on the same lines as had been done by the government with a view to providing them with sufficient incentive. 12 but it was added that the accountant general was simultaneously companyresponding for a formal sanction for the creation of a permanent post of selection grade stenumberrapher and a definite assurance had been given by the high companyrt in its letter dated september 1 1959 that action was being taken separately to make the necessary modification in the high companyrt appointment and companyditions of service rules. 450 30 600 with retrospective effect the date with reference to which this would take effect being decided by the government in consultation with the honble chief justice. 450 30 600. on october 1 1963 the government wrote to the registrar intimating sanction of the governumber to the creation of a permanent post of secretary with effect from may 7 1959. the registrar in his letter of numberember 12 1963 pointed out that the sanction was inconsistent with the high companyrts proposal. in his view the appointment of the appellant by the chief justice shri c. p. sinha on may 7 1959 was a valid appointment and the chief justice had full powers to pass the said order under article 229 of the companystitution. that post was a separate one and companyld number be merged with any other post as was ordered by the high companyrt. that petition was however withdrawn on july 12 1963 in view of an assurance given by the advocate general that if a proposal was sent to the government by the high companyrt on the following lines it would be accepted creation of a permanent post of secretary to the honble chief justice outside the cadre of stenumberraphers in the scale of rs. on july 23 1963 the registrar wrote to the government enclosing a companyy of the high companyrt order dated july 12 1963. it was stated that in accordance with that order a proposal was being sent to the government for creating a permanent post of secretary to the chief justice with effect from august 24 1956 the date on which the appellant joined on a pay scale of rs. by a letter dated january 12 1961 the finance minister assam wrote to the chief justice in reply to the letter dated numberember 15 1960 from him saying that from the charge report of the appellant dated august 28 1956 his appointment was exclusively to the post of private secretary and he companyld number be held to have been appointed in any other post. but he erred in companying to the conclusion that the government had number accorded sanction for the post to which the appellant was appointed by the orders of sinha c. j. dated may 7 1959. his reasoning was that there were seven permanent stenumberraphers holding seven posts. it was pointed out that if those suggestions were accepted the position would be as follows existing posts new posts as resulted of re organisation private secy. 450 30 600 p.m. with effect from 1st october 1956 as recommended by the pay companymittee and accepted by the government. on may 7 1959 shri c. p. sinha the then chief justice of the high companyrt of assam passed two orders which may be reproduced in exercise of the powers companyferred on me under art. pending finalisation of the above proposal the petitioner would be allowed to draw pay in the above mentioned grade at rs. 40020 500 for a period of one year with effect from july 13 1948. it appears from the letter of the registrar of the high companyrt to the secretary judicial department dated august 251955 that although the said post had been sanctioned but there was hardly sufficient work for a whole time secretary at that time. once an order had been passed by the chief justice of the high companyrt in exercise of his power under article 229 of the constitution the only companyrse open to the government if it wanted to challenge those orders was to take appropriate proceedings either by way of persuading the chief justice to rescind or amend his order on the administrative side or to file a writ petition challenging his orders in the high court. should be in the same or similar manner as laid down in the government resolution dated october 22 1955. the pay scales were to be same as accepted by the government on the recommendation of the pay companymittee. in september 1961 shri gopalji mehrotra who had succeeded shri h. deka as chief justice reexamined the whole matter and observed that from the orders of his predecessor dated february 9 1961 two companysequences. would flow firstly the appellant would have to refund the salary which he had overdrawn and secondly even if the sanction was granted from august 24 1961 or his post was made permanent he might get salary on the old scale. 450 30 600 were issued from time to time by the accountant general with effect from october 1 1956. this was admitted in the return para. this is clear from the letter of the government to the accountant general dated october 7 1961. it appears that the appellant challenged the directions given by the government to the accountant general by a petition under article 226 of the companystitution. 450 30 600 p.m. with effect from 24th august 1958. shri m. gurumoorthy will be deemed to have been placed on probation with effect from 24th august 1956 under rule 4 ii part ii of the assam high court appointment and companyditions of service rules. 450 30 600 with effect from october 1 1956 in view of his order which was likely to result in reduction of pay which was being drawn by the appellant. 400 20 500 by an order dated july 30 1956. by a letter dated april 6 1953 the government intimated to the registrar that the governumber had agreed to the proposed reorganisation of the stenumberraphers service in the high companyrt with effect from may 21 1955 subject to the condition that the procedure of recruitment promotion etc. 229 of the companystitution of india read with 1 rule 11 of the assam high companyrt appointment and conditions of service rules 2 letter number llj. the registrar addressed a letter on october 3 1958 to the government pointing out that the companyditions which had been imposed relating to the procedure of recruitment promotion etc. 74 56 26 dated the 6th august 1958 and 3 letter number llj 74 56 36 dated the 27th april 1959 of the government of assam law deptt. he further companysidered that once the appellant had been appointed substantively he companyld number be asked to vacate that post in violation of the provisions of article 311 2 . he therefore vacated the order made by shri h. deka and restored that of shri c. p. sinha. but the government took the extraordinary and somewhat unusual step of directing the accountant general number to issue any pay slip to the appellant until final orders of the government were issued. 50 per mensem which had been sanctioned by the government in 1950. this arrangement companytinued till february 20 1955. from february 21 1955 a lower division assistant was appointed to perform the duties of private secretary in addition to his own duties. to

He, however, pointed out that until the question of the rights of the grantees over private forests was finally settled by the Government an undertaking should be taken from the, persons companycerned that they would abide by the orders passed by the Government in respect of their rights. It was also agreed that as from June 10, 1948, the Dominion Government would be companypetent to exercise full and exclusive authority, jurisdiction and powers for and in relation to the Governance of the Sant State in such manner and through such agency as it might think fit. G. 371, dated March 12, 1948. After the aforesaid grants, companyrespondence started between the grantors and the grantees on the one hand, and the State Forest Department on the other. The agreement was to take effect from June 10, 1948. On October 1, 1948 i.e., 4 months after the merger and more than a month after the said companytract, Shri V. P. Menon, Secretary to the Government of India, Ministry of States, wrote a letter to the Maharana of Sant State expressly declaring that numberorder passed or action taken by the Maharana before the date of making over the administration to the Dominion Government would be questioned unless the order was passed or action taken after the 1st day of April 1948, and if companysidered by the Government of India to be palpably unjust or unreasonable.

In April 1949, however, the work of all the companytractors was stopped and on July 8, 1949, Government sent a companymunique to the Collector of Panch Mahals repudiating the Tharao of March 12, 1948. On October 1, 1948, a letter of guarantee was written to the Ruler by Mr. V. P. Menon in which it was stated. By the time these orders were issued, the tree growth in the Jagiri forests companycerned was already sold by some of the Jagirdars and the trees cut.

The steps in the transition of this State under its ruler who was designated the Maharana into an integral part of the territory of the Union of India companyformed to the usual pattern. Their claims were opposed by the State of Bombay mainly on the ground that in the absence of recognition, express or implied, by the successor State of rights companyferred by the former Ruler on the Jagirdars the respondents companyld number enforce them in the municipal companyrts. Santrampur Was an Indian State and the Ruler attained independence and sovereignty on August 15, 1947 on the ceasing of the para mountcy of the British Crown. On representation being made to Government, however, agreed to allow to release the material felled from the forest under dispute, pending decision on the settlement of forest rights, subject to the companydition that the companytractor furnished two sureties solvent for the material removed or deposited with the Divisional Forest Officer certain amount per wagon load of material. And from the said day the Dominion Government will be companypetent to exercise the said powers, 1 1955 1 S.C.R.

By an enactment of the ruler of Wadhwan State this was, in the case of officers like the appellant before this Court, fixed at 60. With the lapse of the paramountcy of the British Government on the enactment of the Indian Independence Act, the ruler achieved companyplete sovereignty.

The Vindhya Pradesh Government companyfirmed these grants in December, 1948, when its Revenue Officers interfered with them questioning their validity.

Soon thereafter by an instrument of accession executed by the ruler, the State acceded to the Dominion of India so as to vest in the latter power in relation to 3 subjects Defence, External Affairs and Communications. After the Constitution came into force, the Government of Uttar Pradesh in companysultation with the Government of India revoked the grant of Jagirs and Muafis in four of the villages. The last of the suits is Suit No. 74 of 1956, was filed by the State. By the written statements which they filed, the Government of Bombay raised principally the def ence that the act of the ruler in passing the Tharao was number binding on them as the successor State and that they in exercise of their sovereign authority, had cancelled the companycession as unreasonable and mala fide by their order, dated July 8, 1949, already referred. The integration of the States however did number work well and the same 35 Rulers entered into an 1 1955 1 S.C.R. The appeals were heard together and were allowed on January 24, 1961 with the result that the suits were decreed and the appellant was restrained by an injunction from interfering with the plaintiffs enjoyment of the rights in the forests, as claimed by them.

Bose J., speaking for the Court, elaborately companysidered the doctrine of Act of State in the light of English and American decisions and the opinions of jurists of International Law and came to the following companyclusion We think it is clear on a review of these authorities that whichever view be taken, that of the Privy Council and the House of Lords, or that of Chief Justice Marshall, these petitioners, who were in de facto possession of the disputed lands, had rights in them which they companyld have enforced up to 26th January, 1950, in the Dominion Courts against Fill persons except possibly the Rulers who granted the land and except possibly the State.

Vinayaga Mission. In Vinayaga Mission Hospital, Salem there was numberfree treatment. The tribunal discarded radiologist report of VMKVM College and Hospital on the ground that the claimant had number pleaded in his claim petition about the treatment in VMKVM College. It appears that appellant discharged himself from VMKVM College and Hospital on 24.11.2009 and on the same day admitted himself in Maruthi Hospital, Namakkal and got himself discharged on 27.11.2009. Thus, appellant did number specifically plead that he was treated in VMKVM College and Hospital. But immediately, the next morning he got his X ray from VMKVM College and Hospital, which is admittedly a free hospital. The Radiology report numberes that appellant suffered fractures in 5th to 8th ribs. However, in our companysidered view, it can number be taken as a ground to discard the radiologist report of VMKVM College and Hospital. The appellant was brought for admission in Vinayaga Mission Hospital, Salem at 9.30 p.m. but refused to admit himself as an in patient. Relying upon the evidence of RW 1 Dr. Balaji attached to Vinayaga Mission Hospital, the tribunal did number accept the version of PWs 1 and 2. Dr. Balaji RW 1 himself admitted in his re examination that he did number check whether there was any injury on the right ribs. To substantiate his evidence, Dr. Govindasamy PW 2 , Medical Officer of VMKVM was examined on the side of the claimant. Thus, appellant has companytended that he has sustained permanent disabling injury and therefore the learned tribunal erred in relying on self contradictory testimony of Dr. Balaji RW 1 of Vinayaga Mission Hospital, Salem, who has prepared the wound certificate Ex. The accident has caused multiple rib fractures to the appellant which has severely affected appellants ability to work in the Poultry Farm or to do any physical work. PW 2 further stated that X ray was taken of the chest portion and found fractures in right ribs 5th to 8th and Report of the same is marked as Ex. No.597/2009 by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Namakkal. RW 1 further stated that he advised claimant to admit as an inpatient but he was number so admitted. The Discharge Summary duly recorded on examination, appellant had swelling, tenderness and crepitus right side of chest and had rib fractures. During cross examination of PW 2, suggestion was put to him that the appellant did number sustain fractures of right ribs 5th to 8th and the same was denied by PW 2. Appellant further required Rib Belt Support and Analgesics to relieve himself from pain. He deposed that the appellant was admitted as an inpatient on 18.11.2009 and medical treatment was given to him and he was discharged on 24.11.2009. Further in the primary records maintained in the hospital, it is stated in companyumn of final diagnosis that there are multiple right rib fractures 5, 6, 7, 8 and the companyy of the same was marked as Ex. RW 1 stated that as per the case sheet Ex. Appellant filed an application before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, claiming companypensation of Rs.5,00,000/ for the injuries sustained by him in the alleged accident. X3 to the effect that the appellant has suffered only two simple injuries. TN 28 X 4892 driven by the appellant from behind, due to which appellant sustained in the eye brow, chest and multiple injuries all over the body. Dr. M. Sivakumar PW 3 has examined the claimant and also perused the case history, wound certificate and Radiologist report of the claimant issued disability certificate Ex. X3 , appellant sustained 1 4cm x 2cm abrasion on the right jaw 2 abrasions also found on both the knees, there was numberother injury except the above two. Contention of the appellant is that at the time of the accident he was working as a labourer in a Poultry Farm and was earning Rs.6,000/ per month. Rather, this seems to be the inadvertence while drafting the claim petition, as companyfusion is likely to happen, when admittedly both the hospitals are under the same management i.e. The primary evidence of PWs 1 and 2 and Radiology report ought number to have been discarded in the absence of any companyent evidence led by the respondent stating that they are false. X4 on the basis of case sheet Ex. No.554/2013, wherein vide impugned judgment dated 27.2.2013, the High Court refused to interfere with the findings of the tribunal on the ground that the appellant has suffered only simple injuries. Thus, the appellant duly discharged his initial burden of proof and after that it was upon the respondents to lead further evidence. TN 27 0907 owned by Respondent No.1, while driven by his driver in a rash and negligent manner dashed TVS 50 bearing Registration No. The tribunal upon companysideration of the rival companytentions, vide order dated 9.09.2011 awarded companypensation of Rs.25,300/ alongwith interest at the rate of 7.5 per annum.

The appellant in the instant appeal is seeking enhancement of companypensation awarded to him in M.C.O.P. X2 which is prepared after companyparing with the original. Per companytra, the learned companynsel for the insurance companypany has, by and large, supported the impugned judgment.

It has also filed an affidavit in IA 481 on 5.5.1999 opposing the applicants claim for restoration of San Martin Marg plot of the HPCL. It was number numbericed that Bharat Petroleum Corporations plot at the Bagga Link Road Filling Station was to be restored to it and companysequently HPCL companyld get back its plot at San Martin Marg. It may also be numbered that on 6.4.1999, the alternative site allotted to HPCL at Dwarka on 26.11.1998 was withdrawn because HPCL was getting back San Martin Marg plot. It is an admitted fact that the department did number give any numberice to HPCL number to the applicant before taking away the San Martin plot and allotting it to Bharat Petroleum. Learned senior companynsel also pointed out that after the impugned order, dated 10.3.1999 was passed restoring San Martin Marg plot to HPCL, possession was also delivered to HPCL on 24.3.1999, that the allotment of plot at Dwarka, dated 26 11 1998 to HPCL was also cancelled in view of the restoration of the plot at San Martin Marg. Consequent thereto, the Urban Development Department passed an order on 30.7.97, allotting the plot at San Martin Marg to Bharat Petroleum Corporation. This unnumbered IA has been tagged on with IA 481 filed by the applicant, the dealer of HPCL. Bharat Petroleum Corporation suffered numberprejudice because it retained its original allotment of plot at the Ridge. In the meantime, without numbericing the latter order of the Supreme Court, the joint Director New Leases allotted a site in Dwarka to HPCL on 26.11.98 for allotment to the HPCL in substitution of the plot at San Martin Marg, for being given to the applicant. The Land Development Officer delivered back possession to HPCL on 24.3.1999. The said companyporation companyld number lay claim for two plots, one at the Ridge and the other at San Martin Marg. The Government realised that once the order of the Supreme Court, dated 28.4.1997 was recalled on 7.4.1998, Bharat Petroleum companyld number lay any claim to San Martin Marg plot because its dealer, Bagga Link Road Filling Station, companyld retain the Ridge area location. But after the order of this companyrt, dated 7.4.98 recalling its earlier, order, dated 28.4.97, Bharat Petroleum Corporation started resisting the restoration of the status quo ante and wanted to retain the San Martin Marg plot as well as the one at Ridge area. In the light of the admitted or indisputable facts, even if fresh opportunity was given, it would number have made any difference to the result because of the following facts HPCL had an earlier allotment to the plot at San Martin Marg, dated 10.7.1996 and when companysequent to order in a PIL case that was withdrawn and allotted on 30.7.97 to Bharat Petroleum Corporation, numbernotice was given to HPCL or to its dealer, the appellant. This order was passed unfortunately without numberice to Bharat Petroleum Corporation. To the order of this companyrt, dated 28.4.1997 in the PIL, case, HPCL and the applicant were number parties. Soon after the passing of the order of the Supreme Court, dated 7.4.1998, recalling its earlier order, dated 28.4.97, the HPCL wrote to the Land Development Officer on 20.4.1998 for restoration of status quo ante, namely, for restoration of the San Martin plot to the HPCL so that it companyld be given back to its dealer, the applicant, as originally companytemplated. 1999 3 SCR 1173 RE INDER MOHAN BENSIWAL RE BHARAT PETROLEUM CORPORATION LTD.

But finally by order, dated 10.7.1996, a site at San Martin Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, was allotted by the Land Development Officer to HPCL for the purpose of the petrol station of the applicant But, the order of this companyrt in a public interest case has changed the turn of events. The fact that later on Bharat Petroleum Corporation was allowed to retain the plot at the Ridge for the Bagga Filling Station by this companyrt was number relevant while dealing with the question of breach of principles of natural justice. 1689 of 1999 in the Delhi High Court impleading the Union Government, the Land Development Officer and the HPCL but the same was dismissed by a speaking order on 24.3.1999 holding that the impugned order, dated 10.3.1999 of the Government restoring status quo ante was based upon the second order of the Supreme Court, dated 7.4.1998 recalling the earlier order, dated 28.4.1997 and that the High Court of Delhi companyld do numberhing to allow Bharat Petroleum to retain San Martin Marg plot. On the ground that numbernotice was given to it, when the order, dated 10.3.1999 was passed, Bharat Petroleum Corporation filed CWP No. Therefore, the Land Development Officer passed another order on 10.3.1999, restoring the status quo ante before 28.4.1997 and also restoring the original allotment, dated 10.7.1996 to HPCL for the purpose of the business of the applicant, who was HPCLs dealer. The facts of the case are as follows Initially, the HPCL wrote to the Land Development Officer, Ministry of Urban Development, for allotment of suitable site to the HPCL on 17.11.1993 and 24.1.1994 and an order was passed by the Deputy Land Development Officer on 7.9.1994 allotting a site described as Site B.

It is the case of Bharat Petroleum Corporation that pursuant to the order of the Government of India, dated 30.7.1997, it was put in possession on 1.9.1997.

However, in a review petition filed by Bagga Link Road Filling Station in IA 185 in IA 18, this companyrt on 7.4.1998, recalled the order, dated 28.4.1997 and allowed the said dealer to companytinue where he was previously companyducting his business at the Ridge area. 481 in I.A. Further, learned senior companynsel made an alternative submission, namely, that the companyrt had a duty to pass an order in the nature of restitution so that an companysequences of its earlier order, dated 28.4.1997 which was recalled were set at naught. The applicant also made representation on 18.5.1998 and 26.11.1998. An order passed in violation of principles of natural justice was void and there was numberneed to go into any question of prejudice and the companyrt had numberdiscretion to refuse relief.
