For more than 2 years she did number have any companytact with Anisha till in May, 2005 she forcibly removed Anisha from her paternal grandmothers custody. Despite the finding that during the period when Anisha was in the petitioners custody she had been well looked after and cared for and the petitioner had dutifully discharged his parental responsibility towards her. The child remained in custody of the petitioner father between November, 2005 and 2nd February, 2007, when the husband was directed to make over the custody of the child to the respondent wife and since then she has been in the custody of the respondent wife. On 24th November, 2005, with the help of police personnel from Chamboor Police Station, she took away Anisha from the custody of the petitioners mother. The petitioner recovered the custody of the daughter on 30th November, 2005 and this resulted in both the husband as well as the wife filing separate Custody Petitions before the Family Court in December, 2005. It was submitted that having found that Anisha had been well looked after during the period of petitioners custody and the respondent wife was trying to poison the childs mind against the petitioner and having also held that from the psychiatric evaluation made that the respondent wife had a manipulative personality, apart from having a tendency towards psychosis which needed medical attention, the High Court erroneously chose numbere to interfere with the order of the Family Court directing custody of minor Anisha to be made over to the respondent wife. A girl child, Anisha, was born on 2nd March, 2002. The Family Court Appeal No.29 of 2007, which was filed by the petitioner husband, was directed against the judgment and order of the Family Court directing that custody of the minor child be made over to the respondent wife. On 20th December, 2005, the Family Court granted weekend access visitation right to the respondent wife and by a subsequent order dated 15th September, 2006. the Family Court granted interim custody of the child to the petitioner husband pending hearing and final disposal of the Custody Petition. Despite the said legal position, the High Court, after carefully companysidering the various other aspects companyducive to the childs welfare, and despite the interim order of custody in favour of the petitioner husband, chose number to interfere with the order of the Family Court and directed that the custody of minor Anisha should companytinue to be with her mother, the respondent herein, and that sufficient access provided to the petitioner father would meet the ends of justice. In fact, at one stage this matter also once appeared before us and certain specific directions were given regarding the manner of access of the petitioner husband to Anisha. The petitioners prayer for Anishas custody, therefore, was rejected and being aggrieved thereby, the petitioner husband has filed the instant Special Leave Petition. Two appeals being Family Court Appeal No.29 of 2007 and Family Court Appeal No.61 of 2007 were filed by the petitioner husband and the respondent wife respectively. In the other appeal, the respondent wife challenged the order of access made in favour of the petitioner husband on every alternate weekend and to share 50 of the School Vacations with the petitioner. These petitions involve the final stage of a custody battle on account of disruption and finally a break down of the marriage ties between the petitioner and the respondent. The nuclear family, along with the mother of the petitioner husband, resided together at Chamboor, Mumbai till July, 2004 when, for whatever reason, the respondent wife left the matrimonial home to stay with her parents at Bandra. It was further urged that the High Court had number properly appreciated the fact that when the respondent wife left the matrimonial home in July, 2004 to pursue film and television career, she left Anisha behind when she was only 2 years and 4 months old, thereby virtually abandoning the child when she needed her mothers care the most. On behalf of the petitioner husband it was urged that the judgment and order of the High Court suffered from various infirmities. While disposing of the pending appeals, the Division Bench of the High Court had occasion to companysider the legal and practical approach regarding custody of the minor in the light of the well established doctrine that in these cases, the welfare and interest of the minor was the paramount companysideration. The petitioner and the respondent got married in Hyderabad on 11th August, 2000. Having dealt with the relevant provisions of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, since the parents as also the minor is a Hindu and while passing the final order the Division Bench was fully alive to the fact that under Section 6 of the above Act the father is the natural guardian of the person of the minor during his minority.

Pursuant to an advertisement for appointment to a post of a temporary Asstt. the High Court has held that since the respondents were already working as on the date when the appellant had entered the service as Executive Engineers though as temporary Assistant Engineers, their seniority has to be reckoned from the date of their initial appointment. Thus be became a permanent Assistant Engineer in Bihar Roads and Building Department, which was formerly known as Public Works Department. Engineer made in 1973 he was selected by the Public Service Commission and was appointed to the post on July 29, 1974. The Government of Bihar had issued Circular dated June 21, 1969 in which it was stated that 30 of the posts of permanent as well as temporary Engineers were available to the demobilised Army officers and the date of entry into the State service would be the date of their attaining the age of eligibility for appointment in the military service or actual date of entry, whichever is later.

The learned S.D.M. Shakuntala Devi, the respondent and Kamta Prasad both preferred revision petitions against the order of the learned S.D.M. Shakuntala Devi, on becoming aware of the proceedings obviously on the information provided by Kamta Prasad , moved an application before the learned S.D.M. Having made that declaration the learned S.D.M. Kamta Prasad also submitted that the appellant had deliberately number impleaded the respondent as a party to the proceedings as he was in companylusion with the police and wanted to deprive Shakuntala Devi of her lawful possession over the shop. Kamta Prasad who alone was impleaded by the respondent as the party in the proceedings under Sections 145/146 of the Code was number impleaded as a party in the civil suit filed by the respondent Shakuntala Devi, inasmuch as the impleadment of Kamta Prasad who was number claiming any interest and number even possession over the shop was companysidered to be unnecessary. Kamta Prasad appeared and stated that he had numberhing to do with the shop and the owner of the property, who was also in possession thereof, was one Shakuntala Devi respondent No.1 herein, hereinafter referred to as the respondent, for short . The learned Civil Judge also directed a companyrt officer to go at the site of the shop and after opening the locks to put the respondent in possession of the shop. The respondent also sought for an ad interim preventive injunction so as to protect her possession over the shop. No opportunity was allowed to the respondent to join in the proceedings and to file her own claims as to the possession of the shop. Both these orders were put in issue by the respondent and Kamta Prasad by filing a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution in the High Court which too was dismissed on 6.12.93. By order dated 5.8.95 the learned Civil Judge allowed the application filed by the respondent and directed the appellant to remain restrained from interfering with the possession of the respondent over the shop. Soon after the decision by the learned Additional Sessions Judge on 27.2.93, Shakuntala Devi, the respondent, filed civil suit No.283 of 1993 based on title, seeking a permanent preventive injunction against Shanti Kumar Panda, the appellant herein. Sadar, Jaunpur, who made a preliminary order under Section 145 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 hereinafter referred to as the Code, for short recording his satisfaction that a dispute, likely to cause a breach of the peace, exists companycerning the shop, which is the subject matter of dispute hereinafter referred to as the shop, for short between the appellant and one Kamta Prasad number a party in this appeal and requiring both of them to attend his companyrt and put in the written statements of their respective claims as respects the fact of actual possession of the shop. directed that until the rights were determined by the companypetent companyrt, the shop shall be released in favour of Shanti Kumar Panda, the appellant. stating that she was a party interested in the subject matter of dispute and as she was in peaceful possession of the shop, she ought to have been joined as party to the proceedings and as that number done, she prayed for her impleadment and an opportunity of being heard. also found that the case was one of emergency and therefore he directed the shop to be attached under Section 146 1 of the Code. held that the appellant was in possession over the disputed shop on the date of the passing of the preliminary order as also in the two months prior thereto. By order dated 27.2.93 the learned Additional Sessions Judge directed the revision to be dismissed by holding that the order of the learned D.M. C. LAHOTI, J. Shanti Kumar Panda, the appellant before us lodged a companyplaint with Station Officer, Line Bazar, Jaunpur, whereupon the police filed a report before the Sub Divisional Magistrate S.D.M. The learned District Judge, vide his order dated 15.11.95, allowed the same and set aside the order dated 5.8.95 passed by the learned Civil Judge. The High Court has allowed the petition, set aside the order of the learned District Judge and restored the order passed by the learned Civil Judge. The preliminary order under Section 145 1 and the order of attachment under Section 146 1 were both made on 16.5.92. The Court will be loath to issue an order of interim injunction or to order an interim arrangement inconsistent with the one made by the Executive Magistrate. It would be relevant to numbere some of the observations, pungent to some extent, made by the learned Civil Judge during the companyrse of his order. The respondent preferred a petition under Article 227 of the Constitution. kept the application filed by the respondent pending till 6.7.92 when the proceedings were directed to be disposed of by a final order. One of the reasons which has prevailed with the High Court for dismissing the petition is that the respondent had already approached the Civil Court and the jurisdiction of the Civil Court having been invoked, which was an efficacious alternative remedy available to the respondent, it was number appropriate for the High Court to entertain the writ petition and exercise its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. did number suffer from any infirmity. The appellant preferred a miscellaneous appeal. Feeling aggrieved by the order of the High Court this appeal has been preferred by special leave.

indisputably the res pondents ancestor was assamidar of the land that is to say he was the land holder as distinguished from land owner. the land owner was the maharaja bahadur of jammu kashmir in whose riyasat the land was situate. the whole proceeding of land acquisition was a nullity. the respondents ancestor had merely a right of possession and numberproprietory right in the land. the land had become the state land in the full sense of the term and belonged to the state since then. proposals were made in the year 1893 to take this land from the ancestor of the respondent as it came under a timber depot established on adjacent government land. the land was taken possession of and as was the practice prevalent during the maharajas time only rent was remitted and numbercompensation was paid for taking over the land. a very queer procedure was adopted of acquiring the land under the state land acquisition act afresh thus determining the compensation on the basis of the market value of the land prevailing 60 years later. it is thus clear that in the year 1894 the assamidar lost his assamidari right when the state resumed the land from him. the findings of the learned single judge are that the lands in dispute were in companytinuous possession of the forest department since 1894 d. that numberrent or companypensation was paid to the defendant or his ancestor for these lands. sixty years later the a respondent filed an application before the then prime minister of jammu kashmir for payment of companypensation of the land. in the remarks companyumn the numbere made runs thus by order of durbar number 2381 dated 5th assuj 55 the total area of village has been excluded from the land revenue and the total land of this village has companye under the timber depot and therefore the total land has been recorded as khalsa. dated 29th assuj 55. the year 55 is samvat year 1955 which will roughly correspond to 1897. thus there is numberdoubt that the land was resumed by the durbar from the ancestor of the respondent before the end of the 19th century and it was recorded as khalsa. inquiries were made from the various officers of the various department and eventually instead of deciding as to whether the state was liable to pay any companypensation in respect of the land which had been taken over 60 years ago or number the decision taken was to start a new land acquisition proceeding under the jammu kashmir state land acquisition act 1934 which is at pari materia with the central land acquisition act 1894. numberice under s. 4 of the said act was issued in or about the year 1955 and the collector srinagar made an award determining the compensation for the land at rs. later a review petition was filed in the high court claiming that the land had already been acquired and the entire land acquisition proceeding was without jurisdiction and a nullity. that the lands in dispute were recorded as khalsa sarkar which means that the proprietory interest vested in the government. yet after 60 years the matter was re agitated by the respondent by claiming companypensation in respect of the land which had been taken possession of long ago by the state. the judgment of the companyrt was delivered by untwalia j. a piece of land measuring 113 kanals and 11 marlas situated in chawni badam singh chattabal srinagar in the state of jammu kashmir belonged to the forefathers of the defendant respondent in this appeal by certificate. the suit was filed on the original side of the high companyrt of jammu kashmir. whatever right was possessed by the respondents ancestor was dead and gone in the year 1894. p. w. 14/2 is intikhab jamabandi mauza chawni badam singh tehsil. no semblance of any right title or interest was left in the respondents ancestor thereafter. he lost the right of possession too on the government dispossessing him and taking possession for the purpose of the timber depot. 1/2 the letter dated 2 6 1955 written by the

In 1958, the School Board and the Superintendent of Schools filed a petition in the District Court seeking postponement of their programme for desegregation. However, President Eisenhower then despatched federal troops to the high school, as a result of which, admission of black students to the school was thereby effected.

Likewise the High Court companysidered the evidence of PWs 3, 8 and 9 who spoke about the attack on the 3rd deceased and there again after a close scrutiny held that the parts played by A4 and 7 companyld be accepted in view of the fact that the other eye witnesses also companyroborated their evidence. The prosecution case is as follows There are three deceased in this case and some injured witnesses. After companysidering the evidence of PW 3 in the light of the earlier statement, the medical evidence and with reference to the evidence of PWs 1, 2 and 4, the High Court felt that the part played by A3 alone companyld be accepted in respect of the attack on the first deceased.

804 and 805 and fixed companypensation for the land at the rate of Rs.800 per Kanal for land in Khasra number 804 and Rs.250/ per Kanal for land in Khasra number805. The learned single Judge enhanced the companypensation for land in Khasra number 804 to Rs.1000/ per Kanal and the companypensation for land in Khasra number805 to Rs.900/ per Kanal. The reference companyrt assessed the market value at Rs.800/ per Kanal in respect of land in Khasra number 804 and increased the companypensation only in respect of Khasra number805 from Rs.250/ per Kanal to Rs.720/ per Kanal. The petitioner claimed companypensation at the rate of Rs.12,000/ per Kanal for the land and companypensation for trees separately. This rate companyes to Rs.14,000 per Kanal. Since some of the land was partially earmarked and the other was number earmarked, the learned single Judge was of the view that the land in Khasra No.804 would have market value of Rs.1000 per Kanal and the market value in respect of land in Khasra No.805 should be fixed at Rs.900/ per Kanal. Daya Krishan has stated that he had sold land measuring 4 1/2 marlas at the rate of Rs.12,000/ per Kanal. He also awarded certain companypensation for trees on the land. The land acquisition companylector made an award in respect of the land bearing Khasra number. On 27.4.1985 the petitioner made a written application before the land acquisition companylector claiming that the market value of the land was number less than Rs.12,000/ per Kanal. The appellant still being dissatisfied moved a Letters Patent Appeal before the High Court claiming companypensation Rs.8000/ per Kanal in respect of land and Rs.75000/ for trees. The learned District Judge was of the opinion that the instances cited were of small pieces of land and it was number safe to rely on them because the land acquired was a large chunk of land admeasuring about 137 Kanals and 19 marlas. The appellant owned land measuring 137 Kanals and 19 marlas in Khasra No.804 77 Kanals and 7 marlas and Khasra No.805 60 Kanals and 12 marlas situated in Barshalla Tehsil, Doda Jammu in the State of Jammu Kashmir. He also specifically claimed that there were 350 trees standing on that land and claimed increased companypensation in respect of the said trees also. Upon a reference under Section 18, the reference companyrt after recording evidence came to the companyclusion that the companyparable instances of sale cited by the appellant were in respect of very small pieces of land while the acquired land was a big chunk measuring about 137 Kanals. Patwari Ghandarb Singh has stated that the average market rate was about Rs.500/ per marla but was number able to cite an instance where any equivalent chunk of land was sold. In respect of one such sale deed, it was claimed by witness Girdhari Lal that he had sold three marlas of land in the year 1975 at the rate of Rs.500/ per marla, though the sale deed was registered in 1981 because of ban on sale of land in the interregnum. Witness Om Prakash, Assistant Engineer, NHIS sub Division Thethri stated in his evidence that 1 Kanal 3 marlas was acquired from one Shukar Din for Rs.15,870/ and the land was 1 1/4 kilometer away from Thathri on the National Highway. The appellant whose land was acquired is aggrieved by the dismissal of his claim for increased companypensation by the Division Bench of the High Court. The Reference Court ought to have adjudicated the claim of the appellant for higher companypensation in respect of trees. The learned single Judge took the view that there was numberneed to go into other evidence in the light of the admission made by the State authorities that companypensation of Rs.1000 has been paid for the land which was only 400 500 yards away from the land acquired. Consequently, the reference companyrt was of the view that the instances cited companyld number be taken as companyparable instances of sale of land. Another witness Tej Ram stated that he had also purchased land Rs.500 per marla in the year 1975. It also rejected the claim in respect of companypensation for trees on the ground that the judgment of the single Judge did number mention anything about companypensation for trees which suggested that the said claim has number been argued before the single Judge. This land was acquired by a Notification under section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 hereinafter referred to as the Act issued by the State Government for the purpose of establishing a base camp of Sheep Breeding Farm, Thathri. The petitioner accepted it under protest and sought a reference for increase in the companypensation. The single Judge also increased the rate of interest to 6 per annum instead of 4 as directed by the District Judge. The declaration under section 6 of the Act and a direction under section 7 of the Act were issued on 10.12.1976 and possession of the land was taken on 16.1.1977. The reference companyrt also directed 4 per annum interest to be paid. On account of the unduly restrictive view taken of its own jurisdiction, the Reference Court fell into error. Being aggrieved by the decision of the reference companyrt, the petitioner moved an appeal under section 54 of the Act before the High Court. Srikrishna, J. In this view of the matter the Division Bench dismissed the appeal.

The Advisory Board companysidered the case of the detenu and by a letter dated 16th March 1981, the Secretary of the Advisory Board intimated to the advocate of the detenu that the Advisory Board had by its report dated 12th March 1981 advised the Government of Maharashtra that there was sufficient cause for the detention of the detenu. It appears that on 6th February 1981 the advocate of the detenu addressed a letter to the Superintendent, Bombay Central Prison where the detenu was then companyfined and alongwith this letter he forwarded nine companyies of the representation which was to be submitted by the detenu to the Government of Maharashtra against the order of detention. In the meantime, the case of the detenu was referred to the Advisory Board and on 11th March 1981, the detenu was called for an oral hearing by the Advisory Board and at this meeting the detenu handed over to the Chairman and Members of the Advisory Board four companyies of a further representation dated 11th March 1981 addressed by him jointly to the Chairman and the Members of the Advisory Board and the Government of Maharashtra praying that the Government of Maharashtra may be pleased to revoke the order of detention and set the detenu at liberty. This letter was delivered by the authorities in charge of the Bombay Central Prison to the detenu on 6th February 1981, but on the same day the detenu was shifted from the Bombay Central Prison to Nasik Road Central Prison and the nine companyies of the representation were therefore carried by the detenu with him to the Nasik Road Central Prison and from there, the requisite number of companyies of the representation duly signed by the detenu were forwarded to the Government of Maharashtra and the Chairman of the Advisory Board on 10th February 1981. It appears that a companyy of the representation was also sent by the detenu to the Central Government and by its letter dated 26th February 1981 the Central Government too rejected the representation. This order of detention though dated 31st December 1980 was served on the detenu on 17th January 1981 and alongwith the order of detention, a companymunication, also dated 31st December 1980, was served on the detenu companytaining the grounds of detention. 1892 of 1981.

This representation was however rejected by the Government of Maharashtra by its letter dated 25th February 1981. The representation made by the detenu against the order of detention was also therefore required to be companysidered by the State Government and either it companyld be disposed of by V. Nayak acting for the State Government under the earlier Standing order dated 18th July 1980 or the Minister of State for Home companyld dispose it of under the later Standing order dated 18th July 1980. The State Government thereafter in exercise of the powers companyferred under clause f of section 8 passed an order dated 23rd March 1981 reciting the opinion given by the Advisory Board and companyfirming the order of the detention.

Some of the farmers had some other crops. It was also claimed that there was numberprivity of companytract between the farmers and the insurance companypany because the policy was taken by the companyd store and number by the farmers. The farmer, the Bank, and the companyd store were parties to the tripartite agreement. The loan was advanced by the Bank to each one of the farmers on security of the agricultural produce stored in the companyd store. Before this Court, appeals have been filed by the insurance companypany, the farmers, the companyd store and the Bank. The case of the farmers was that in terms of the tripartite agreement, the companyd store had got the stocks insured from the insurance companypany. The insurance companypany went to the extent of denying that the claimants were farmers or they had produced the agricultural produce or that they had stored it in the companyd store. The State Commission also found that as per the tripartite agreement entered into between the farmers, the Bank and the companyd store, it was mandatory for the companyd store to insure the goods so hypothecated by the farmers with the Bank. The insurance companypany was held liable to pay the amount to the farmers. After the fire, the companyd store, which had taken out a companyprehensive insurance policy, raised a claim with the insurance companypany but the claim of the companyd store was repudiated by the insurance companypany mainly on the ground that the fire was number an accidental fire. from 20122013 till the occurrence of fire, the companyd store was admittedly insured with the insurance companypany. The farmers had also issued numberice to the insurance companypany in respect of the plant, machinery and building but this claim was repudiated by the insurance companypany on the additional ground that the farmers had numberlocus standi to make the claim as the insured was the companyd store and number the farmers. These farmers had stored their agricultural produce in a companyd store run by a partnership firm under the name and style of Sreedevi Cold Storage, hereinafter referred to as the companyd store. The companyd store was insured with the United India Insurance Company Limited, hereinafter referred to as the insurance companypany. The stand of the companyd store was that the fire was accidental and that since the stock was insured, the amount was payable by the insurance companypany. It would be pertinent to mention that a tripartite agreement had been entered into by each one of the farmers while taking a loan from the Bank and hypothecating the agricultural produce which was stored in the companyd store. It was further pleaded that Condition No.8 of the insurance policy had been violated, and that there was numberprivity of companytract between the farmers and the insurance companypany. The Bank supported the claim of the farmers with the caveat that the amount should be paid to it so that it companyld set it off against the loans advanced to the farmers. The entire building of the companyd store and the entire stock of agricultural produce was destroyed. According to the insurance companypany, there was an element of arson involved and the companyd store seems to have been deliberately set on fire. A fire took place in the companyd store on the night intervening 13.01.2014 and 14.01.2014. The plant and machinery of the companyd store was insured for Rs.5 crores and the stocks were insured for Rs.30 crores. Since the claims of the farmers were either rejected or number answered, they filed claim petitions against the companyd store, the Bank and the insurance companypany in which the primary relief claimed was the value of the agricultural produce as on the date of fire and interest thereupon and each of the farmers also claimed damages of Rs.1,00,000/ per head. These farmers also obtained loans from Canara Bank, hereinafter referred to as the Bank. The fire was an accidental fire and, therefore, in terms of the policy, the insurance companypany was liable to pay the amount of value of the agricultural produce stored with the companyd store as on the date of fire and was also liable to pay interest on the amount payable. The farmers had also filed appeal claiming that in terms of the insurance policy they should have been paid the value of the goods as on the date of fire. In the claims filed it was pleaded that the companyd store while levying the general charges had also charged the insurance premium paid by it. interest and damages, would be given to the farmers. The companyd store and the insurance companypany were held jointly and severely liable and were directed to pay the value of the agricultural produce hypothecated with the Bank to the farmers claimants as on the date of tripartite agreement together with the interest at the rate of 14 per annum payable from six months from the date of the incident till the date of realisation. The case of the insurance companypany is that numberody in his right mind would store agricultural produce for such a long period of time. The companyd store issued a warehouse receipt giving the particulars of the crop stored, the value thereof and also the date of the tripartite agreement. Malhotra, learned senior companynsel appearing for the insurance companypany, Dr. Rajeev Dhavan and Shri Gopal Shankaranarayanan, learned senior companynsel appearing for the farmers, Shri Sajan Poovayya, learned senior companynsel appearing for the companyd store and Shri Dhruv Mehta, learned senior companynsel appearing for the Bank. Appeals of the Insurance Company Shri P.P. As far as the appeals filed by the Bank were companycerned, the National Commission held that in the peculiar facts of the case where the farmers had suffered substantial losses, the principal amount of loan advanced by the Bank would be remitted by the insurance companypany to the Bank but the other amount i.e. The insurance companypany resisted the companyplaint mainly on the ground that the farmers were number companysumers within the meaning of Consumer Protection Act, 1986, hereinafter referred to as the Act. Briefly stated the facts of the case are that most of the claimants, hereinafter referred to as the farmers, had grown Byadgi Chilli Crop during the year 20122013. It is also companytended that the farmers were number companysumers and therefore the companysumer fora have numberjurisdiction to decide the dispute. The State Commission assessed the value of the goods by taking the value as reflected in the warehouse receipts issued at the time of taking of loan and did number accept the plea of the farmers that they should get the market value of the goods as on the date of fire. One of the companytentions raised by him is that the fire in question was number an accidental fire. There were 91 claim petitions filed and in most of them the agricultural produce was Byadgi Chilli. Malhotra, learned senior companynsel appearing for the insurance companypany raised several issues for companysideration of this Court. The Karnataka State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at Bangalore, hereinafter referred to as the State Commission vide judgment dated 28.04.2017 held that the farmers had proved that the fire took place on account of electrical short circuit and numberelement of human intervention or use of kerosene was found. In a few petitions, the agricultural produce was Dabbi Chilli, Guntur Chilli, Bengal Gram, Coriander Dhania , Jwar etc. Therefore, the very genuineness of the tripartite agreement was challenged. In some of the companyplaints, the Bank was also held jointly and severely liable to pay the companyts of Rs.10,000/ whereas in a large number of cases the companyplaint against the Bank was dismissed. Aggrieved by the aforesaid judgment dated 28.04.2017 of the State Commission, an appeal was filed before the National Commission. The other main ground taken was that the fire was number an accident and there was numberspontaneous companybustion on account of electrical short circuit. All these appeals are being decided by one companymon judgment since they arise out of a companymon order dated 08.06.2018 of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, hereinafter referred to as the National Commission. The details companytaining the name of the claimants, the nature of the produce, number of bags and quantity thereof, rate, and number of kilograms have been set out in Para 7 of the judgment of the National Commission which we are number reproducing for the sake of brevity. It is possible that these unburnt chillies may have been introduced later on. It was alleged that the entire story of loans was a false story. It was also alleged that the Bank was negligent as it did number take any step to recover the amount due for more than two years. We have heard Shri P.P. One companyplaint being Complaint No.597 of 2015 was dismissed. On merits, any companyceivable objection which companyld be taken was taken. Deepak Gupta, J.

It was further alleged by Mohinder Singh that Darshan Singh opened the attack with Toki blow from reverse side on Ajaib Singhs head whereas Ram Singh had dealt him blows with the butt of his gun and when Bir Singh tried to rescue Ajaib Singh, Joginder Singh and Ranjit Singh gave blows on his head and that on medical examination Ajaib Singh was found to have four injuries by blunt weapons and Bir Singh was found to have suffered one injury with a blunt weapon. Hardev Singh for the Respondent. The facts giving rise to the appeal may be stated thus At the instance of one Mohinder Singh a criminal case was registered at Police Station Dakha against Joginder Singh, Ram Singh the two appellants , Bhan Singh, Darshan Singh and Ranjit Singh on the allegation that each one armed with a Toki had entered his house on April 30, 1977 at 10.00 a.m. and had caused a number of injuries to Ajaib Singh and Bir Singh who were present in the house, with the respective weapons. The learned Magistrate who held a preliminary inquiry companymitted the three accused Bhan Singh, Darshan Singh and Ranjit Singh to the Sessions Court and the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, framed charges against the three accused for offence, under ss. Thereupon at the instance of Mohinder Singh, the Public Prosecutor moved an application before the learned Additional Sessions Judge for summoning and trying Joginder Singh and Ram Singh along with the three accused, who were already facing their trial. 909 of 1977. 909 of 1977, whereby the High Court companyfirmed the order passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana on October 19, 1977 directing that the attendance of the two appellants Joginder Singh and Ram Singh be procured and they be ordered to stand trial together with three accused who had been companymitted to his Court to stand their trial for offences under ss. 501 of 1977. The application was opposed by the companynsel for the accused principally on the ground that the Sessions Judge had numberjurisdiction or power to summon the two appellants and direct them to be made accused to stand their trial along with three accused because they had neither been charge sheeted number companymitted and the Sessions Court had numberjurisdiction or power directly to take companynizance against them in respect of any offences said to have been companymitted by them. The learned Additional Sessions Judge negatived the said companytention and presumably exercising his powers under s. 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 passed an order on October 19, 1977 directing that the attendance of the two appellants be procured and further directing that they should stand their trial together with the three accused. had involved the two appellants in the alleged incident, on investigation the police had found numbermaterial against them with the result the police had submitted a charge sheet only against the three accused and number the appellants and even the Committal Order passed by the Magistrate was only in respect of the three accused and, therefore, it was number open to the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, to take the impugned action against the appellants. Secondly, companynsel companytended that the only provision in the Criminal Procedure Code which empowered the Court to try anybody number prosecuted by the police, was to be found in s.319 but that provision was inapplicable to the facts of the present case for two reasons, first, that s.319 in so far as it is applicable to Sessions Court would be subject to or subordinate to s.193 and second, the phrase any person number being the accused occurring in the section excludes from its operation an accused who had been released by the police under s.169 of the Code. CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Criminal Appeal No. In the first place relying upon sections 193 and 209 of the Code of Criminal Procedure companynsel companytended that there was a bar to the Court of Sessions taking companygnizance of any offence as a Court of original jurisdiction unless the appellants were companymitted to it by a Magistrate under the Code and it was pointed out that admittedly in the instant case though the F.I.R. 452/308/323 read with s. 34 I.P.C. by special leave from the Judgment and order dated 24th November, 1977 of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Criminal Revision No. persons who had companymitted the offence were number known at that time. 452, 308 and 323 each read with 34 I.P.C. 2 of the charge sheet.

They were also intimated that the posts of Temporary Engi neers in Class II service would be advertised in due companyrse by the Haryana Public Service Commission and they should apply for such posts through the Commission, and that if they were number selected by the Commission, their services would be liable to be terminated without numberice. 5 24 were made in relax ation of the provisions companytained in rr.6 b and 15 of the Haryana Service of Engineers, Class I, Public Works Depart ment Irrigation Branch Rules, 1964. 1 2 in the seniority list prepared by the Public Service Commission were ranked junior to the appel lants and respondents Nos. the period during which respondents Nos. In the letter of appointment issued by the Commissioner and Secretary to Government of Haryana Irrigation Power Department dated January 13, 1975 it was specified that inter se seniority of Assistant Engineers would be determined on the basis of the companybined merit list prepared by the Public Service Commission In the companybined merit list prepared by the Commission, respondents Nos. 5 24 was assailed by respondents Nos. 5 24 being placed at serial Nos. namely The promotions were subject to the approval of the Public Service Commission as also to the claims of other officers. 1 and 2 were however companytinued by the State Government from time to time, six months at a time, till the Secretary, Haryana Public Service Commission by his letter dated July 8, 1973 addressed to the Commissioner and Secretary to the State Government of Haryana, Public Works Department Irri gation Branch companyveyed the approval of the Commission to the ad hoc appointment of 251 Temporary Engineers beyond the period of six months till regular appointments were made to the posts through the Commission. 1 2 were recruited to the post of Assistant Engineer on April 21, 1975 and thus had only about 31/2 years service on December 20, 1978 to their credit when appellants and re spondents Nos. prior to their appointment as Assistant Engi neers on regular basis on April 21, 1975 along with the six appellants and respondents Nos.

Mittal, J. by his judgment dated October 8, 1980 quashed the impugned order of the State Government making ad hoc promotions of the appellants and respondents Nos.

Presumably, the State Government excluded from companysideration the case of respond ents Nos. He also upheld their companytention that the power companyferred on the State Government under r.22 was number a general power of relaxation but a power exercisable only to mitigate any undue hardship in the case of a particular individual and therefore the impugned order of the State Government permitting relaxation in the case of respondents Nos. It was also pleaded that the power companyferred on the State Government to grant relaxation under r.22 was number a general power but a power to mitigate hardship in a particular case and thus the general relaxation granted by the State Government to some of the respondents who had number passed their departmental profes sional and revenue examinations was invalid. 1 2 appeared at a companypetitive examination along with the appellants and respondents Nos. 5 24 was number invalid on that account. January 2, 1971 for a period of six months i.e. They were specifically informed that the appointment would number entitle them to any seniority or other benefit under the service rules for the time being in force and would also number companynt towards increment in their salary.

2 to restore the linguistic minority status of the appellant. MES 2007/264/CR 145/2007/35/D 1 Date11.7.2008 CERTIFICATE FOR THE RECOGNITION OF MINORITY CADRE Educational Trust and Management Society, Solapur had submitted the Application on 9.7.2007 for obtaining certificate for the reorganization of their society in the cadre as Linguistic Minority Educational Institute. It was on the basis of these documents that the certificate of recognition as a minority institution had been issued on the 11th July, 2008. the application of the so called Dayanand Institutions Solapur by its letter dated 15.07.08 for a certificate of recognition of linguistic minority status to the Dayanand Anglo Vedic College Trust and Management Society, New Delhi was rejected in the light of the above facts. It was for the first time that the appellant by letter representation dated 15.7.2008 addressed to the Competent Authority, Minority Development Department, Mumbai, stated that the recognition certificate for linguistic minority has been issued in the name of Dayanand Anglo Vedic DAV College Trust and Management Society, Solapur. For the year 2006 07 also, the appellant Society was declared a linguistic minority after appreciation of documents. On the basis of said Resolution, the respondents issued a Certificate on 11.7.2008 recognizing the appellant Society at Solapur as a linguistic minority institution for the academic year 2008 09 also. The withdrawal of the recommendation for the appellant Society as linguistic minority institution was on the ground that the earlier order granting recommendation was under the mistake that the trustees of the appellant were residing in the State of Maharashtra. However, in the year 2008, the Government of Maharashtra issued a new Resolution dated 04.07.2008 laying down the procedure for granting status of religious linguistic minority to educational institutions run by the minorities in the State of Maharashtra. The main ground for cancellation of recognition of the linguistic minority status of the appellant was that though the appellant Trust was registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act by the Charity Commissioner, Mumbai, a majority of the trustees were number residents of the State of Maharashtra and, therefore they cannot be called a linguistic minority. Admittedly, in the instant case, the appellant Trust Society is registered at New Delhi and majority of the trustees reside at New Delhi and, therefore, these persons cannot be treated as minority in the State of Maharashtra and they cannot claim the protection of linguistic minority in the State of Maharashtra. The certificate of registration submitted by the Dayanand Institutions Solapur in the name of Dayanand Anglo Vedic College Trust and Management Society issued by the Charity Commissioner Mumbai and their application dated 6.7.07 on the letterhead styled Dayanand Institutions Solapur led the Competent Authority to believe that the trustees were located in Maharashtra, when in fact they were number residents of Maharashtra. The respondents by the aforesaid order cancelled the recognition of the appellant as a minority linguistic educational institution for the years 2004 05 and 2006 07 also. The said respondent, after hearing the appellant Society, finally rejected the application in terms of order dated 26.10.2009 refusing to restore the earlier recognition of linguistic minority status granted to the appellant. The Authority, while rejecting the application for the grant of minority status, recorded the following reasons On scrutiny of papers, it was seen that although the companyering application cited the name of the institution as Dayanand Institutions Solapur, the trust deed was registered in the name of Dayanand Anglo Vedic College Trust and Management Society and the majority of the trustees resided at New Delhi. Therefore, a request was made in the said representation that since the appellant Society is based at New Delhi, Certificate of Recognition may be issued in the name of Dayanand Anglo Vedic DAV College Trust and Management Society, New Delhi instead of Solapur. The appellants further case is that the Society started educational institutions at Solapur in the State of Maharashtra in 1940 and is having other schools and companyleges at different places in the State of Maharashtra. The said representation was rejected by the respondents mainly on the ground that only those Hindi speaking persons who are residing in Maharashtra, will be treated as minority in Maharashtra. By the said order, the Division Bench dismissed the writ petition and refused to interfere with the order dated 26.10.2009 passed by respondent No.2 The Principal Secretary and Competent Authority, Minority Development Department, Government of Maharashtra withdrawing the linguistic minority status of the appellant institution which was earlier granted by order dated 11.7.2008. Sd TF.Thekkekara Competent Authority Principal Secretary Minority Development Department Mantralaya,, Mumbai 400032. Therefore, being formed by the persons belonging to Arya Samaj and speaking Hindi language, the appellant Society claimed to be a linguistic minority within the meaning and purview of Article 30 of the Constitution of India. 1 to issue certificate of recognition in the name of appellant New Delhi instead of Solapur. During the hearing which was companyducted of the said Institute before me on 11.7.2008, on the basis of submissions made by the Officials of the Institute, I have satisfied that, the said Institute is being established and companyducted through persons from Linguistic Hindi Minority or Group of persons, declared by State Government as per touchstone prescribed under Minority Development Department, Government Resolution No. The appellant Dayanand Anglo Vedic DAV College Trust and Management Society has challenged the order dated 24.2.2010 passed by a Division Bench of the Bombay High Court in Writ Petition No.1053 of 2010. For better appreciation, the last Certificate granted on 11.7.2008 for the academic year 2008 09 is reproduced hereinbelow GOVERNMENT OF MAHARASHTRA Competent Authority and Principal Secretary Minority Development Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai 400032.

The persons speaking Hindi language and the followers of Arya Samaj in the State of Maharashtra companystituted less than 50 of its total population. Instead of companyrecting the alleged mistake in the Certificate, respondent No.2 passed an order dated 2.8.2008 cancelling the Certificate dated 11.7.2008 issued to the appellant. The aims and objects of the appellant Society as stated are to establish educational institutions to encourage the study of Hindi, classical Sanskrit and Vedas and also to provide instructions in English and other languages, Arts, science including Medicine, Engineering etc. The brief facts leading to this appeal are thus The appellant Society was formed in the year 1885 and it was originally got registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 at Lahore subsequently in the year 1948 in the State of Punjab. 11.7.2008 it companyld number have been withdrawn by the impugned order. Challenging the aforesaid order of the respondents cancelling the recognition, the appellant Society moved the Bombay High Court by filing Writ Petition No.284 of 2009, which was finally disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pass a fresh order after giving opportunity of hearing and companysidering all the documents of the appellant. In companypliance of the said direction, the respondents passed the impugned order dated 26.10.2009. Since then, the appellant is said to have established a large number of schools and companyleges all over India and is running such institutions all over the companyntry. MES 2008/CR133/2008/D 1 dated 4.7.2008. In companypliance of that order, the appellant filed a fresh application on 20.08.2009 together with all the necessary documents requesting respondent No. The aforesaid order was impugned in the writ petition which ultimately resulted in a direction to the respondents to pass a fresh order after giving opportunity of hearing to the appellant.
