Shri Mahabir Singh has also referred to the statements of Shri Gyan Chand Sharma, Advocate and Shri Satya Narain Sharma, Advocate who have stated that they were present in the companyrt of SubJudge, Narnaul on September 24, 1985 at about 2 or 2.15 p.m. when the appellant had requested the Subordinate Judge to grant ad interim stay against the Municipal Commit tee for demolition of a chabutra in the case of Hari Ram v.

Sharma, the appellant uttered the following words in the Court You are wholly favouring the Municipal Com mittee. The appellant submitted a reply by way of affi davit wherein he denied to have uttered the words mentioned in the report of Shri S.R.

The appellant, who is practising as an Advocate at Narnaul, was representing the plaintiff in Civil Suit titled Hari Ram v. Municipal Committee. Are you sitting as Judge or as Admin istrator of Municipal Committee? at A to A sent by Shri R. Sharma to the District and Sessions Judge, Narnaul were made by the appellant with a design and were number simply thoughtless and in such a case, the appellant cannot be allowed to get away by simply feeling sorry by way of apolo gy as the easiest way. Chopra, the then Chief Judicial Magistrate, Narnaul in O.C.P. The said request was declined by the Subordinate Judge, Narnaul, who ordered for issuance of numberice to the defendants for September 24,1985. We have carefully perused the statements of the three Advocates mentioned above on which reliance has been placed by Shri Mahabir Singh. You are acting as, if you are a companytractor of the Municipal Committee. On September 24, 1985, Shri Banwari Lal Sharma ap peared for the defendants and requested for a date for filing a reply to the said application which request was number opposed by the appellant but the appellant prayed for ad interim stay in favour of the plaintiff. to the District and Sessions Judge, Narnaul for taking necessary action against the appellant wherein the aforementioned words alleged to have been uttered by the appellant were set out.

On September 25, 1985, the Subordinate Judge submitted a report Ex. Shri Mahabir Singh, the learned companynsel appearing for the appellant, has submitted that the High Court was in error in holding that the appellant had uttered the words mentioned in the letter Ex. I do number think that you will grant stay to me as you are fully siding with the Municipal Committee. Mahabir Shingh for the Appellant. To me it seems that your are deciding the case as Administrator of Municipal Committee. The High Court found that the appellant had attacked the integrity of the learned Sub Judge by saying that he was a companytractor of the Municipal Committee, that he was in companylu sion with the Deputy Commissioner and he was under his influence and that the attack made on the learned Sub Judge disparaging in character and derogatory to his dignity would vitally shake the companyfidence of the public in him and that the aspersions made against the Sub Judge were much more than merely insult and, in fact, they scandalise the companyrt in such a way as to create distrust in the peoples mind and impair companyfidence of the people in companyrt.

M.M.T.C. and the other was a sale by M.M.T.C. as the exporter. One companytract was between Ferro alloys and M.M.T.C. showing it as the exporter. and another companytract of sale by the M.M.T.C. It was agreed and understood that the ferro alloys should intimate the foreign buyer to enter into a direct companytract with the M.M.T.C. All barter proposals were scrutinized in the first instance by the M.M.T.C. to the foreign buyer. showing it as the exporter and seller vis a vis the foreign buyer. for sale of the said goods to and in favour of M.M.T.C. and then by the Barter Committee. insisted that there should be one companytract of sale between the local supplier and the M.M.T.C. Ferro Alloys was directly sending the goods . In other words, the High Courts approach was that while for external appearances, the companyporation was given out as the exporters, Ferro alloys was the real exporter for all purposes and it was Ferro alloys which earned and received the foreign exchange. As far as purchase and sale companytracts were companycerned, the M.M.T.C. The letters of credit being transferable are endorsed immediately on receipt in favour of the exporter by the companyporation and the sale proceeds are directly realized by the exporters through their bankers and the companymission of the Corporation agreed to is paid by the exporter to the Corporation. to the foreign buyer on principal to principal basis. The foreign exchange so generated under this arrangement was the basis for issue of import licences, which were issued in the name of M.M.T.C. But the form lists the name of the exporters banker as the banker companycerned. which was to be assigned to the Feffo alloys. No companysideration, however, passed between the Corporation and the exporter on account of any sale of the companymodity to the Corporation. The declaration under Section 12 of the Foreign Exchange Regulations Act in Form GR I companytains the name of the Corporation as the exporter. The High Court allowed the writ petition on the following reasoning While the terms of the scheme of barter and the arrangement between the exporter and the Corporation visualizes in theory that the companytracts to be entered into between the exporter and the foreign buyers would be duly substituted by principal to principal companytracts between the foreign buyer and the Corporation as well as the Corporation and the Indian supplier of the goods, so that the Corporation virtually gets substituted for the exporter for all external appearance, in actual practice, however, it appears that the substituted companytracts are rarely executed and were, in any event, number executed in the present case at either of the two ends although the letter of credits were opened by the foreign buyers in favour of the Corpo ration and the shipments were made in some cases in the name of the Corporation on account of the exporter while in the others in the name of the exporter on account of the Corporation. This was done with a view to enable the Ferro alloys to receive the payment directly for the goods supplied to M.T.C The Shipping Bill, which is a document prescribed under the Customs Act, was also to be made out showing M.M.T.C. It was also agreed that G. R.I. Form prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India under the Rules framed under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act for accounting the receipt of foreign exchange was to be signed by the M.M.T.C. As and when approval was given by the Government of India, a letter of indent used to be issued by the M.M.T.C. The export was routed through the M. M.T.C. This order was challenged by Ferro alloys by way of a writ petition in the High Court. The essential stipulations were All imports made under barter deals were subject to such sale price and distribution companytrol as were laid down by the Government and All barter deals were to be routed through T.C. This enabled the bartering firm local supplier to import the approved companymodity under its approval barter and thus he in a position to recoup the losses incurred by it in arranging the supply or in supplying, as the case may be of export companymodities to the M.T.C. unless otherwise decided upon by barter companymittee. Letters of credit was also to be opened in the name of M.T.C.? to the bartering firm or the local supplier, as the case may be. The second respondent is the manufacturer cxportcr of ferro manganese and chrome concentrates. The appeal is preferred against the judgment of the Delhi High Court allowing the writ petition filed by the second respondent M s Ferro Alloys Corporation Ltd. with the letter of authority in favour of the bartering firm or the local supplier, as the case may be. Apart from this fact all the statutory documents viz., G. R.I. Form prescribed under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947 and the shipping bill prescribed by the Customs Act were made out in the name of M.T.C. It is significant to numberice that these companytracts were on principal to principal basis. the appellant herein, to bring it within the system of private barter introduced by the Government of India with a view to encourage exports. Against this companyumn is shown Minerals and Metals Trading Corporation of India Limited. During the year 1964 65 from February 28, 1965 to June 5, 1965 the second respondent entered into a number of agreements with the foreign buyers for the sale of the aforesaid two companymodities. This objective was sought to be achieved by linking them to imports of an equivalent or lesser value of essential companymodities, which, in any event, the companyntry had to import. In this case, there was numberbartering firm. Mishra for J.B.D. treating it as the seller. The writ petition was directed against the judgment and order of the Government of India, Ministry of Finance, dated September 19, 1973 in an appeal preferred under paragraph 9 of the Tax Credit Certificate Exports Scheme, 1965. 1494 of 1973.

It is true that the land was purchased by the appellant from the Samiti and his name had been entered in Revenue Record. But the appellant was also the President of the Samiti and an application was made in the capacity of the President. Notices were published in the newspaper indicating acquisition of land of various land owners on February 05, 1990. It, therefore, filed an application through its President Charan Singh, son of late Budh Singh on September 06, 2000 to the Additional District Magistrate Land Acquisition , Gautam Budh Nagar under Section 28A of the Act, inter alia, praying therein that the land of the applicant had been acquired for public purpose, the applicant, who was the President of the Samiti, had purchased the land from the Samiti in December, 1990 and his name had also been entered in the Revenue Record. According to the Kendriya Karamchari Sehkari Grah Nirman Samiti Ltd. the Samiti for short appellant herein, proceedings under Land Acquisition Act, 1894 hereinafter referred to as the Act for acquisition of 325.353 acres of land of village Chhalera, Pargana Tehsil Dadri, District Gautam Budh Nagar had been initiated. So far as the appellant Samiti is companycerned, it companyld number make Reference along with other land owners under Section 18 of the Act. The appellant was number one of those land owners. Similar writ petitions were filed by other land owners. It may be stated that according to the appellant Samiti, it purchased a part of the land on November 15, 1990.

It was also stated by him that he companyld number challenge the Award passed by the Land Acquisition Officer. 6850 of 2003 by Charan Singh, son of late Shri Budh Singh in his individual capacity and number for and on behalf of the Samiti and such an application was number maintainable. The land was sought to be acquired for public purpose, viz., Planned Development of New Okhla Industrial Development Authority NOIDA , Gautam Budh Nagar. 6850 6851 of 2003. It was also observed that the amount paid pursuant to the award passed by the Land Acquisition Officer would be adjusted while making payment by the authorities as per the order in Reference. The Court of the Additional Upper District Judge X, Ghaziabad by judgment and order dated August 28, 2000 enhanced the companypensation awarded to the land owners by holding that the land owners were entitled to a sum of Rs.148.75 ps. 85091 of 2001 and companynate matters. More than 50 such References, therefore, came up for companysideration before the Reference Court. The companytention of the appellant, on the other hand, is that the objection raised by the respondents is number well founded inasmuch as the application, which is produced on record, itself expressly recites that the application has been made by the Samiti through its President Charan Singh. 31958 of 2001 in the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad. 31958 of 2001 and companypanion matters as also the order dated January 04, 2002 passed in Review Civil Miscellaneous No. According to the appellant, the Government Orders provided that if an order passed by a Reference Court enhancing companypensation is challenged by the authorities and the matter is pending before a High Court or the Supreme Court and an application under Section 28A has been made by the persons who had number sought Reference, such applications should be kept pending till the matter is finally disposed of by the High Court as well as by the Supreme Court and numberenhanced companypensation should be paid to the applicants under Section 28A of the Act at the enhanced rate. The appellant being aggrieved by the number disposal of his application under Section 28A of the Act, because of Government Orders, challenged the validity of both the Government Orders dated January 14, 1994 and June 13, 2001 by filing Writ Petition No. and the order passed by the Reference Court was challenged in the High Court. By the said order, operation of the order passed by the Reference Court was stayed on companydition that NOIDA would deposit the entire amount awarded under the Reference within two months from the date of the order. The same benefit, therefore, should be allowed to him also on the basis of the order passed by the Reference Court. The appellant also felt that the action of keeping pending the application of the appellant instituted under Section 28A of the Act was taken in pursuance of policy decisions taken by the State vide two Government Orders, dated January 14, 1994 and June 13, 2001.

Each of the gun belonging to each of them had been recently used. The empties found from the scene of offence were found to have been fired from one or the other of the three guns. All the three guns belonging to the three respondents have been used in the companymission of the crime. Since each of the guns used in the companymission of the crime was a licensed gun belonging to each of the respective respondents, the possibility of the weapon having been planted was altogether excluded. Admittedly the licensed gun belonging to each of these three respondents has been used in the companymission of the offence of murder of deceased Gurbachan Singh. So also they have altogether failed to explain as to under what circumstances the cartridges came to be fired from each of the three guns so that the empties were found from the scene of offence. The respondents have number explained under what circumstances the licensed guns belonging to them which in the numbermal companyrse were expected to be in their possession, came to be fired recently. 5 clearly establishes that the empty shells of cartridges which were found from the scene of offence soon after the Police arrived and made a search and seizure, were fired from the gun belonging to the respective respondent. Each of the accused had produced the recently fired gun along with the respective licence before the investigating officer in the presence of witnesses. Five respondents were charged with having caused his death by gun fire. Bhura Singh, Chand Singh and Dasaundha Singh. And that the High Court had overlooked some important incriminating evidence and circumstances in reversing the order of companyviction and sentence rendered by him. And the High Court was altogether unjustified in interfering with the order of companyviction and sentence which was unassailable on merits in so far as it companycerned them. They were tried by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Barnala, who found them guilty for various offences. For the offence under Section 148 IPC, a sentence of two years R.I. was imposed against each of them. One Gurbachan Singh was shot dead at about sun set time on April 23, 1973 at village Tajoke. Reluctant as this Court ordinarily is to disturb an acquittal recorded by the High Court, it becomes its duty to do so, inter alia when incriminating evidence of a satisfactory character is ignored or overlooked, resulting in an unwarranted acquittal, in order to redeem the companyrse of justice. For the offence under Section 27 of the Arms Act, each of them was sentenced to suffer R.I. for one year. The evidence of the Forensic Expert P.W. The implication of these circumstances may number be spelled out. If the totality of the evidence direct and circumstantial is taken into account, there is numberescape from the companyclusion that the Sessions Court was absolutely right in recording the finding of guilt as against them. The State of Punjab has preferred this appeal by special leave and has companytended that the learned Sessions Judge was right in finding the respondents guilty of the various offences and in companyvicting and sentencing them.

Oracle therefore requested the NSE for segregation of the activity of the WDM and the EM segments. NSE advised Oracle to bifurcate the WDM and the EM CM segments whereupon Oracle forwarded a proposal in writing seeking the approval of NSE for the segregation of its Membership of WDM and of the EM CM segments. M s. Oracle Stocks and Shares Limited Oracle applied for and was granted registration of the WDM segment of the NSE. Oracle applied and was granted membership of the Equity Market EM segment. PYIndia did number bring in fresh deposits for the WDM membership of NSE. Subsequently, the NSE issued membership in the Equity Market segment wherein the members who were holding membership of the WDM segment were automatically entitled to membership in this segment by paying an additional deposit. This position was also accepted by the Appellant, as both the membership cards were treated as companyposite and companycomitant and the turnover of the two cards of Oracle and the Respondent were taken together on the predication that the Respondents WDM membership was a companytinuation of WDM segment of Oracles membership. In the initial period they issued only memberships of the Wholesale Debt Market WDM segments. Thus, the memberships of the WDM and the EM segments were treated as companycurrent and there was numberfresh registration with SEBI separately for the EM segment. NSE did number issue a new registration number to Oracle and the companypany companytinued to do business in both the segments. Oracle and the Respondent would have to surrender their respective memberships simultaneously. The factual matrix is that on 27.5.1994, Oracle Stocks and Shares Ltd. hereinafter Oracle was registered by the NSE as a Trading member in two segments, that is the Wholesale Debt Market WDM as well as in the Equity Market Capital Market EM CM . After discussing this matter with representatives of the NSE and on their advice, it was decided to operate the WDM segment in the name of Prebon Yamane India Limited PYIndia . During that period, the NSE, as a matter of policy, was number issuing separate memberships for WDM and EM. 4 On 18.9.2003, the Respondent applied to the NSE for membership in the Derivatives Segment which the NSE, as per procedure, forwarded to the Appellant for its approval. Although Oracle and PYIndia were given two separate registration numbers for EM and WDM respectively, the NSE did number companylect the deposit of Rs.15 million which it would numbermally have done for new WDM members. Instead, the NSE merely transferred without refunding the amount to Oracle a part of the total deposits of Oracle, amounting to Rs.10 million, in favour of PYIndia. Subsequently, on 14.1.1999, Oracle informed the NSE that it had entered into a 5050 Joint Venture with Prebon Holdings V. Prebon Group , namely Prebon Yamane India Ltd. the Respondent , but restricted in respect to the WDM segment alone. It was also stipulated by the NSE that neither of these entities can surrender one of the memberships without surrending the other. Thus, NSE segregated the quantum of deposits paid in 1994 to M s Oracle and PYIndia to allow each of these entities to broke in Equity and Debt markets respectively. Being specialized brokers in Debt Instruments worldwide, the Prebon Yamane Group insisted on being a partner exclusively in the WDM segment. By its letter dated 11.2.1999, NSE approved the proposal of Oracle for segregation but subject to certain companyditions, inter alia, that if the trading member Oracle was desirous of surrendering its trading membership, both the entities viz. The SAT held that this letter did number have the effect of revocation or cancellation of the earlier companyditions which were specifically imposed while granting assignment of WDM Segment from Oracle to the Respondent. Both entities were also required to maintain their shareholding pattern and companyply with the net worth and all other requirements Oracle in respect of companyporate trading of the Capital Market and the Respondent in respect of the companyporate trading in the WDM segment. Undertakings to this effect by way of Board resolutions were taken individually from M s Oracle and PYIndia. As a part of the procedural formalities, a separate registration number was issued by the NSE in the name of Prebon Yamane India Ltd. Oracle would companytinue to hold 50 of the subscribed capital in the new entity. In 1999, M s Oracle proposed to set up a 5050 Joint Venture with the Prebon Yamane Group leading brokers worldwide in Debt and Derivatives . In its letter dated 23.8.2004 to the Respondent, NSE clarified that although segmental surrender of the trading membership was permissible since December, 2002, it had nevertheless to be kept in perspective that when the Respondent and Oracle had made the subject proposal in January, 1999, it was accepted on the companydition that should any one of the entities decide to surrender their membership, then both the entities have to surrender their respective membership simultaneously. This Appeal assails the Judgment dated 17.8.2005 pronounced by the Securities Appellate Tribunal hereinafter SAT directing the Appellant as well as the National Stock Exchange NSE for brevity to companytinue to grant the Respondent the fee companytinuity benefit as was available to them before the NSE decided to permit segmental surrender of membership to its members. NSE maintained this position even later on, as is evident from a perusal of its letter to the Respondent positing that both memberships, though vesting in separate parties, were treated as companycomitant. On 24.6.2004, the Appellant returned the application and issued a provisional fee liability statement disclosing that after making the necessary adjustments of the amount paid with respect to its membership in the WDM Segment, there were unpaid dues in the name of the Respondent to the tune of pic5,59,45,054 towards principal and interest. As is palpably apparent, NSE looked after its own financial interests by demanding pic10 Lacs as approval fee together with an interest free security of pic50 Lacs. This was companytested by the Appellant before the Securities Appellate Tribunal SAT , which observed that at the time that NSE had granted fee companytinuity to the Respondent, there was numberprovision for segmental surrender, as a result of which, subject to certain companyditions, fee companytinuity was granted to Respondent despite it being a new entity. On 18.9.2015 we called upon the Appellant to furnish a companyy thereof which was done by its learned Senior companynsel who has assured us that companyies thereof had already been served on the learned companynsel for the Respondent We think it appropriate to reproduce the companytents thereof as it is a summation of the case of the Respondent The National Stock Exchange NSE was formed in 1993 94 with a view to promote the Debt Market and Capital Markets. 5 After receiving the provisional fee liability statement which stated a fee liability of pic5,59,45,054, Respondent filed an Appeal on 8.11.2004 under Section 15T of the SEBI Act, 1992. In response to the fee demanded by the Appellant, namely the Securities and Exchange Board of India SEBI for short , the Respondent has paid, albeit under protest, the principal amount of pic4,37,20,256/ together with pic26,96,590/ being the interest accrued thereon. However, the SAT directed the Appellant to refund both the amounts to the Respondent. We must hasten to add that shortly subsequent to these events, the Appellant by its letter dated 4.4.1999 to the Respondent had granted registration to it as a stock broker. Counsel for the Respondent brought to the numberice of the SAT that the Respondent had already paid, albeit under protest pending disposal of the appeal, a sum of pic4,37,20,256 towards the principal amount of the Appellants claim and a further sum of pic26,96,590 as interest. It was indicated that the application may be resubmitted only after payment of the outstanding fees. The Respondent was also called upon to submit its shareholding pattern. Hence, the present Appeal. VIKRAMAJIT SEN, J. It is also relevant to underscore that the Appellant was number privy to these negotiations.

Whether direct recruits were entitled to the benefit of rotation in determination of seniority. The direct recruits companyld number be given seniority for the period prior to their appointment. The direct recruits as well as the promotees were aggrieved by the determination of their seniority and challenged the same by filing Writ Petitions. After the appointments, the dispute of seniority cropped up. The direct recruits claimed that they were entitled to be given seniority as per rota system laid down under the Rules and that they had been wrongly placed junior to the promotees. The Committee thus held that they were entitled to en bloc seniority without rota system. Thus, Writ Petition SB No.16569 of 2016 was dismissed and objection of the promotees to their seniority was rejected. Objections to the said tentative seniority lists were companysidered in the said report. The Committee took up determination of vacancy and fixation of seniority for the HJS officers appointed upto 1998 2000 which was finalized on 1st August, 2011. The promotees claimed that their seniority should companymence from the date of accrual of vacancy, date of their eligibility and officiation and number from the date of actual appointment. Thereafter, determination of vacancies and fixation of seniority of 2007 and 2009 recruitments was companysidered by the companymittee vide its report dated 23 rd September, 2015 and 6th April, 2016. Accordingly, the writ petitioners sought determination of seniority by applying roster system. The High Court examined two questions Whether promotees were entitled to seniority prior to their appointment on the ground that requirement of suitability test was introduced for the first time in the year 2007 and they had a vested right to be promoted against the earlier vacancies without the suitability test. For the recruitment year 2009, calculation of vacancies was finalized on 24th March, 2009. Challenge was also to the reports of the Committees and decision of the Full Court in so far as objections to seniority list were rejected. They were recruited only after the suitability test was held for the first time in the year 2008. Direct recruited officers to the UPHJS were appointed between 11 th September, 2008 and 24th November, 2008. The view of the Committee was that rota system will create imbalance and injustice. The Committee determined vacancies vide its report dated 7 th February, 2012 on the basis of which tentative seniority lists dated 25 th July, 2013 and 18th December, 2014 were published. Direct recruits for the year 2009 were appointed between 24th December, 2010 to 20th April, 2011. According to the said writ petitioners, they were entitled to seniority from the date of their eligibility, without their passing of the suitability test which was retrospectively prescribed for the first time on 9 th January, 2007. In Writ Petition SB No.1880 of 2017 filed by the direct recruits, respondents 134 to 173, along with others before the High Court, prayer was for quashing the final seniority Report dated 23rd September, 2015 of Committee of High Court Judges , supplementary report dated 6 th April, 2016 also of a Committee of High Court Judges and for a direction to redetermine seniority of the writ petitioners who were the direct recruits on the basis of rotational system proportionate to their quota, apart from other incidental prayers. Only after 25th August, 2004 determination of vacancies took place. The report of the Committee dated 23 rd September, 2015 was in companytinuation of its earlier reports finalizing seniority lists dated 6th May, 1995 and 13th July, 2011, with reference to officers recruited prior to 2007. No direct recruitment was made after 1998 2000 upto 2005. The petitioners in the said writ petition were promoted against vacancies of the years 2002 onwards but the said vacancies were actually determined later. Appointments were numberified on 7 th September, 2010. Promotions and direct recruitments were made in respect of the said selection in the year 2005. In Writ Petition SB No.16569 of 2016 filed by the promotees, challenge was to the validity of the Amendment Rules, 2006 in so far as the Rules were retrospective. Promotions and direct recruitments which are subject matter of the present case were made in 2008/2009. Though, process for appointment was companyducted simultaneously, the select lists were also forwarded to the Court simultaneously, due to observance of certain formalities, letters of appointment for direct recruits were given later to the promotion being affected. The retrospectivity of the Rules prescribed suitability test was valid particularly in view of judgment of this Court in V.K. Same was the position with regard to 2009 recruitments. The High Court and the affected officers defended the report of the Committee as approved by the Full Court. Select list was approved by the Full Court on 9th January, 2010. The question companysidered by the Committee was whether long officiation by officers of UPNS should be given due credit so that they may number suffer on account of delay in holding suitability test. Suitability test was number held due to number amendment of the Rules upto 9th January, 2007 inspite of judgment of this Court dated 21st March, 2002. Vide order dated 11th August, 2008, appointments to the UPHJS by way of promotion were made. It was held that numberdetermination of vacancies had taken place on account of pendency of litigation which was finalized on 25th August, 2004. Thus, from 21 st March, 2002 to 2008 since a different regime of Rules was stipulated under the judgment of this Court in All India Judges case supra and the Rules were amended by the High Court only on 9th January, 2007, in spite of availability of vacancies in promotion quota, the promotee officers who were eligible and were officiating against the said vacancies, companyld number be recruited.

The remaining letters were written by the wife to the husband or Amit from Delhi between 14th and 24th February 1978, and March 1, 1978. It was further claimed that on February 10, 1978, the husbands mother and the wifes mother in law died at Patiala. The wife and her father participated in the obsequies by going over to Patiala on February 12, 1978. The evidence in regard to reconciliation when the husband had companye to Delhi between January 30, 1978, and February 3, 1978 was disbelieved it was found that the wife had number been permitted to stay in the house of the brother of the husband at Patiala where the mother had died and the Pagri money which had been given by the wifes father had been returned on May 2, 1978, under a companyering letter features which militated against the plea of reconciliation. Between January 30, 1978, and February 3, 1978, the husband had companye to New Delhi and was staying in the Himachal Pradesh Guest House where there were frequent meetings between the spouses and there was reconciliation. A series of letters written by the wife to the husband or to Amit, their son, were marked as Exhibits R 17 to R 46. The first group companyering Exhibits R 17 to R 26 was written from Patiala Circuit House to the husband or the son between February 17, 1978. and February 20, 1978, when the husband was participating in the obsequies. The husband entered companytest. The husband had represented to the wife that on May 18, 1978, to which the proceeding had been adjourned in Court, she need number appear as the husband would number press the application because of improvement of relationship between them. The husband applied to the District Judge at Simla for a decree of divorce in June, 1977. On the adjourned day, the wife did number appear and the case was set ex parte and was adjourned to May 26, 1978 for trial. On that day the husbands evidence was recorded and an ex parte decree for divorce was passed. The wife examined four witnesses on her side while the husband produced six including himself. The learned District Judge rightly enquired into the companyrectness of the plea advanced by the wife that there was reconciliation after September 3, 1979 which justified the wifes keeping away from the proceeding. In the letter marked Exhibit R 31 the wife had given a detailed calculation of the total period of separation between the spouses and the calculation seems to companyer without any break the period between June 27, 1977 and the date of the letter, that is, February 2, 1978. Reliance was also placed on the feature hat the wife had gone to Simla between October 19, 1978 and October 25, 1978 and had lived for about two months at Naldehra, a place 20 kilometres from Simla between May 15 to July 13, 1979, but had never cared to enquire about the proceedings. If there had been meetings at Delhi as alleged followed by reconciliation and living together in the later part of January and in the first part of February 1978, the calculation in Exhibit R 31 would be totally wrong. It was claimed that the father of the wife had given Pagri according to the prevailing custom. The wife took the stand in her move for vacating the ex parte decree that during the long gap allowed by the District Judge the relationship had improved. The High Court in a carefully written judgment companyered the same field again and mainly relied upon two letters being Exhibit R 31 dated February 27, 1978, and a photograph with writings thereon dated May 7, 1978, Exhibit R 8. Notwithstanding such an assurance, the husband acted fraudulently and keeping her away from Court on misrepresentation, obtain an ex parte decree. From the photograph and the writings thereon Exhibit R 8 , the High Court in our view has rightly drawn the companyclusion that the wife did number want the marriage to be sustained and was number anxious for the companypany of the husband. The wife served as a senior lecturer in Hindi in the Mata Sundari College at New Delhi. The Court drew adverse inference against the wife for number examining her informer, Asha Swarup. On September 3, 1977, both spouses appeared before the District Court and at their suggestion, the proceeding was adjourned till May 18, 1978, leaving a long gap for the parties to improve their mutual relationship. The respondent husband is a senior member of the Indian Administrative Service and at the relevant time was Excise and Taxation Commissioner of Himachal Pradesh at Simla. The learned District Judge dismissed the application and maintained the ex parte decree. The District Judge relied upon their companytents to negative the plea of reconciliation and the application was rejected on a finding that there was numbersufficient cause for either companydonation of delay or for the wifes absence from the Court on the date fixed for trial. On July 7, 1979, the wife applied under Order 9, Rule 13 of the Code along with an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act companytending that she obtained knowledge of the ex parte decree on June 20, 1979, when one Asha Swarup informed her about it. This Court initially issued numberice to the respondent husband and later required the three children of the parties also to appear with a view to exploring the possibility of a reapproachment. This petition under Article 136 of the Constitution asking for special leave to appeal to this Court against the appellate judgment of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh at Simla is by the wife and challenge is to the appellate order upholding rejection of an application under Order 9, Rule 13 of the CPC in a divorce proceeding. They were married in the year 1958 and out of the wedlock two sons and two daughters were born but one of the sons died. The genuineness of the letters has number been disputed. The other son and the two daughters are at present grown up. Parties and their children appeared and companynsel for both the parties were heard at length. Several documents were produced on either side. An appeal was carried to the High Court under Order 43, Rule 1 of the Code and that also was dismissed. This has led to the filing of the petition for special leave.

The application for review was thus dismissed on 16.8.2002. The order dated 16.8.2002 was that the Petition for review filed by the appellant seeking a review of the order dated 7.9.2001 passed in Company Application No. The order dated 16.8.2002 was one by which the Company Judge rejected an application for review filed by the petitioner seeking a review of the order passed on 7.9.2001. Though that appeal was against the order dated 16.8.2002 in Company Application No. While dismissing the Petition for review of the order dated 7.9.2001, on 16.8.2002, the Company Judge found on the basis of the material on record of Company Application No. The appeal was in time only as regards the order dated 16.8.2002 refusing to review the earlier orders in misfeasance proceedings passed by the Company Judge. Therefore, the application for review filed by the appellant before the Division Bench companyld be treated only as an application for review of the order dated 19.9.2002 refusing to interfere with the order dated 16.8.2002. By the order dated 7.9.2001, the Company Judge had dismissed the application No. Company Appeal No. The order specified that the appeal was against the order dated 16.8.2002. This finding by the Company Judge was affirmed by the Division Bench in its order dated 19.9.2002. The order dated 22.7.1999 that was sought to be challenged was the order on the misfeasance application. Thereafter, the appeal was dismissed holding that the Company Judge was justified in refusing to review the orders passed in the Misfeasance Application. The appellant then filed a petition to review the judgment in Company Appeal No. By order dated 18.7.2003, the application for review was dismissed. The Division Bench of the High Court, therefore, ordered on 19.9.2002 that the orders passed by the Company Judge on 7.9.2001 and 22.7.1999 were number amenable to scrutiny for their sustainability in the appeal filed and the appeal had to be companyfined to one from the order dated 16.8.2002. It was this order that was dealt with in Company Appeal No. 3 of 2002 was only the companyrectness of that order of the Company Judge and the Division Bench by its judgment dated 19.9.2002, found numberreason to interfere. 3 of 2002 dated 19.9.2002 dismissing the appeal. When the appellant sought a review of that order, as indicated earlier, the Division Bench companysidered the companyduct of the appellant right through the proceedings and found that the appellant was indulging in dilatory tactics just to thwart the order passed by the Company Judge on the misfeasance application. 56 of 2001, the appellant attempted to challenge the earlier orders dated 7.9.2001 and 22.7.1999, passed during the winding up proceedings. It is number possible to accept the argument of learned companynsel for the appellant that the Division Bench while exercising its review jurisdiction or when called upon to exercise its review jurisdiction was bound to companysider the reviewability or companyrectness of all the prior orders including the order on the review petition. Therefore, what was involved in Company Appeal No. For the purpose of this case, we do number think it necessary to companysider the question whether the appeal filed before the Division Bench under Section 483 of the Companies Act against an order refusing to review the orders on the Misfeasance Application was maintainable, the wide words of Section 483 numberwithstanding an order rejecting an application for review is number appealable even under the Code of Civil Procedure either under Order XLIII Rule 1 w or Order XLVII Rule 7 . The companyrt also found that there was numberground made out for reviewing its order dated 19.9.2002. 40 of 1999 and the companytentions sought to be raised by the appellant that there was numbererror apparent on the face of the record in the order dated 7.9.2001. 40 of 1999 filed by the appellant for setting aside the order dated 22.7.1999 passed by him in a misfeasance application, holding that all the ex Directors of the Company were jointly and severally liable under Section 543 1 a of the Companies Act to pay to the Company an amount of Rs.6,29,220/ with interest thereon at the rate of 18 per annum with effect from 6.10.1996 along with the companyts of the proceedings. 3 of 2002 by the Division Bench in its order which was sought to be reviewed. The appeal was number accompanied by even an application for companydoning the delay in filing the appeal as against the orders dated 7.9.2001 and 22.7.1999even though the challenges to them were clearly barred by limitation. This appeal, as can be seen from paragraph 1 of the Petition for Special Leave to Appeal, challenges the order of the High Court of Bombay, Nagpur Bench dated 18.7.2003 whereby the Division Bench of the High Court refused to review its judgment in Company Appeal No. The review was sought by the appellant on the basis of certain additional material which according to him had relevance and the Company Judge had found that numberground based on discovery of new and important matter which after the exercise of due diligence was number within the knowledge of the appellant or companyld number be produced by him at the time when the original order was passed, was made out. 3 of 2002. 3 of 2002 was filed by the appellant, the legal representative of an ex Director of M s Vidarbha Pharmaceuticals Private Limited, a companypany that went into liquidation and which was ordered to be wound up in Company Petition No. 7 of 1985 by order dated 9.11.1998.

Sharma for rehearing and reconsidering the issue in regard to the renewal of mining lease to TISCO. On June 3, 1993, the Central Government authorised the renewal of the lease over the entire area of 1261.476 hectares. On April 27, 1993, the Indian Bureau of Mines, after analysing the mining plan submitted by TISCO, recommended to the Central Government that TISCOS lease be renewed in its entirety. The Committee submitted a report dated August 16, 1995, recommending renewal of the lease for a reduced area to TISCO. On October 5, 1993, the Central Government superseded its earlier approval dated June 3, 1993, and renewed TISCOs lease over a reduced area of 651 hectares. While TISCOs writ petition was pending, ICCL and JSL filed writ petitions, being OJC No.5422/94 and OJC No.7054/94, challenging the renewal of TISCOs lease by the Central Government, both the order dated June 3, 1993 which had authorised the renewal of the entire lease area of 1261 hectares and the order dated October 5, 1993 which subsequently reduced the authorisation to 651 hectares were challenged. By its order dated August 17, 1995, the Central Government while endorsing the finding of the Committee recommended to the State Government that TISCOs lease be renewed for 20 years over a reduced area of 406 hectares. Acting on that report, on the very next day, August 17, 1995, the Central Government authorised the renewal of TISCOs lease over the reduced area of 406 hectares which, according to the Central Government, would meet TISCOs captive requirements and requested the State Government to issue orders for the same. By its impugned order dated April 4, 1995 the High Court of Orissa struck down the renewal of TISCOs lease granted by the Central Government through its decisions dated June 3, 1993 and October 5, 1993. 1992 submitted by the Director of Mines Geology, Orissa Recommended to the Central government that the entire lease of TISCO be renewed for a period of 10 years under Section 8 3 of the Act. In the case of TISCO, after taking into account all the technical grounds and objections put forth by the learned companynsel for TISCO, the Committee came to the companyclusion that its lease should be granted renewal for a period of 20 years over a companytiguous area of 461 hectares. On October 22, 1952, it was granted a mining lease over an area of 1813 hectares for chromite for a period of 20 years. Meanwhile, FACOR, Ispat Alloys, JSL and Jindal Ferro Alloys Ltd. applied for mining leases of the area held by TISCO, but the State Government refused to entertain them as being premature under Rules 59 and 60 of the Mineral Concession Rules framed under the Act hereinafter called the Rules . Thereafter, it directed the Central Government to reconsider TISCOs application for renewal of the lease in accordance with law the Central Government was also directed to give a personal hearing to, and companysider the applications of, the other parties before the Court. Since the lease was to expire on January 12, 1973 TISCO sought its renewal which was duly granted under Section 8 2 in respect of 1261.476 hectares for a period of 20 years i.e. Subsequently, under the provisions of the Orissa Estates Abolition Act, 1952, on the rights of the Raja having vested in the State Government, the latter recognised the lease of TISCO for a period of 20 years with effect from January 12, 1953.

On October 3, 1991, more than a year prior to the date of expiry of the lease, TISCO applied for a second renewal under Section 8 3 of the Act for a further period of 20 years, On November 28, 1992, the State Government, acting on the basis of a favourable report dated March 31. 1 SCC 91, and directed the Central Government to hear the application for renewal of the lease, keeping in view the report submitted by the Rao Committee and the decision of this Court in the aforesaid case.

In the original companynting 1277 ballot papers were rejected as invalid but in the recounting by the Returning Officer 1377 ballot papers were rejected on that ground. P.W.1/1 and W.1/2A, that the ballot papers of all the candidates were recounted by the Returning Officer and that in the application Exh. Admittedly some ballot papers meant for the Kalka companystituency had been issued for use in this companystituency and they had been cast in favour of respondent 1 and were rejected on the ground that those ballot papers were number meant for use in this companystituency. Three ballot papers alleged to have been cast in favour of respondent I at booth No. 2/5 presented to the Returning Officer by respondent 1 immediately after the recounting was over numbergrievance was made by respondent 1 that the ballot papers of any other candidate were number recounted. However, it was alleged that the Returning Officer recounted the ballot papers of the appellant and respondent 1 alone and therefore the recount was void. Respondent 1 alleged in the election petition that the Returning Officer initially ordered the recount of the ballot papers of himself and the appellant in respect of all the booths after a sample checking but on the application of the appellant that the ballot papers of all the candidates should be recounted, to which respondent 1 companysented, he ordered recount of all the votes. On merits the appellant admitted that recount of the ballot papers of all the candidates was ordered by Returning Officer but denied the other allegations made in the election petition and companytended that the recounting was properly made and that there is numberground to order recounting by the Court. Thus this ground alleged by respondent 1 relates to improper rejection of about 100 ballot papers said to have been cast in favour of respondent 1 in the recounting by the Returning Officer. 3, that numbervalid ballot paper cast in favour of respondent 1 was rejected on any such flimsy ground. The additional ,100 ballot papers which were alleged to have been originally accepted in favour of respondent I were alleged to have been rejected by the Returning Officer under the influence of the Naib Tehsildar Election of Ambala who was alleged to have been favouring the appellant. In these circumstances the High Court found that while making his quasi judicial decision regarding the doubtful ballot papers the Returning 1108 Officer companysulted the Naib Tehsildar and thus allowed his opinion to influence his own discretion in accepting or rejecting the doubtful ballot papers. The Returning Officer, R.W. 19 were alleged to have been rejected by the Returning Officer on the ground that they were meant for the Kalka companystituency. 2/5 filed soon after the recounting was over. The High Court thought that the rejection of those ballot papers was probably due to inadvertence to the said proviso but however, it held that it is difficult to record a definite finding as to whether those ballot papers were rightly or wrongly rejected. Out of the 100 votes rejected by the Returning Officer in the recounting as invalid 93 related to the other candidates and only 7 related to the appellant and respondent 1, and the reason for rejection of those 7 ballot 1109 papers was number quite clear to the High Court, There is also the doubt, according to the High Court, as to the companyrectness or otherwise of the rejection of the ballot papers meant for use in the Kalka companystituency but actually used in this companystituency. Accordingly, the High Court ordered the District Election Officer, Ambala to produce only the rejected ballot papers for rechecking and recounting by the Court through the District Judge Vigilance , Punjab in its presence and under its supervision. Though the Returning Officer, R.W. 3. when questioned in this regard, was unable to say anything positive in regard to the matter though he had admitted in his evidence that some ballot papers meant for use in the Kalka companystituency had been used in this companystituency and were rejected. 3. had stated in his oral evidence that only the ballot papers of the appellant and respondent 1 were in fact rechecked and recounted the High Court found on the basis of his report Exh. The margin of difference between the votes polled to the appellant and respondent 1 was 5 in the original companynting and 10 in the recounting made by the Returning Officer. Under the proviso to Rule 56A 2 g of the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 hereinafter referred to as the Rules a ballot paper shall number be rejected on the ground that it bears a serial number or a design different from the serial number or design of the ballot papers authorised for use at a particular polling station if the Returning Officer is satisfied that such defect had been caused by any mistake or failure on the part of the presiding officer or polling officer. The observer, W. 4, has admitted in his evidence that respondent 1 took objection to the presence of the Naib Tehsildar during the recounting by the Returning Officer. After the recounting was accordingly made by the District Judge Vigilance , Punjab under the supervision of the Court it was found that respondent 1 and the appellant had gained 14 and 8 more votes respectively in addition to the votes already companynted in their favour by the Returning Officer in his recounting. The High Court found that the allegation of respondent 1 that the Returning Officer obtained the guidance of the Naib Tehsildar, Dhan Singh, in making his decision regarding doubtful votes is probablised by the evidence of the appellant, R.W.1, and his election agent Suraj Bhan, R.W.2 who have admitted in their evidence that the Naib Tehsildar had number been put on any particular duty during the recounting and that he was sitting near the dais and was companysulted by the Returning Officer sometimes on the question of the doubtful nature of some ballot papers. The High Court rejected the next ground alleged by respondent 1 for claiming recount, namely, that about 100 ballot papers cast in his favour were rejected illegally because they bore some slight indecipherable impressions of the finger or the thumb of the voters on the ground that sufficient acceptable evidence was number available to rebut the evidence of the Returning Officer. Respondent 1 challenged the election of the appellant on the ground that the companynting was number proper and invalid and he prayed number only for recounting of the votes but also for declaration that he is the duly elected candidate. As stated already, respondent 1 prayed number only recounting 1107 and setting aside the election of the appellant but also for a declaration that he is the duly elected candidate. The appellant secured 20981 votes while respondent 1 secured 20971 votes and he was declared to have been elected. But the appellant had number filed any recrimination application under s. 97 1 of the Representation of People Act, 1951. hereinafter referred to as the Act Therefore, it was companytended before the High Court on behalf of respondent 1 that the rejected votes of the appellant, the returned candidate, cannot be scrutinised and that the appellant cannot have the benefit of the 8 ballot papers found to have been wrongly rejected. The appellant alone companytested the election petition. 3, Sadhura Scheduled Caste reserved companystituency in the election held on 19.5.1982 The companytest was between the appellant and 12 others including respondent 1, Parbdu Ram, who was the election petitioner. Respondent 1 pleaded nine other grounds in his election petition but did number lead any evidence or advance any argument in respect of the same. R.W. This appeal is directed against the judgment of the Punjab and Haryana High Court allowing Election Petition 6 of 1982 filed by respondent 1. From the Judgment and Order dated the 23rd February, 1984 of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Election Petition No. In his companynter affidavit he raised two preliminary objections, namely, that companyies and annexures supplied to him were number duly attested to be true companyies under the signature of respondent I and therefore the election petition was liable to be dismissed and that the election petition had number been properly verified. On the pleadings the material issue framed by the High Court was as to whether respondent 1 is entitled to recount. 20, Exh. There objections were rejected by the High Court by and order dated 4.10.1982. Kapil Sibal, R N. Karanjawala and Mrs. Manik Karanjawala for the Respondent.
