The wholesaler alleges that he handed over to you Rs. Whether the credit sales effected by the wholesalers were companytrary to their agreement with the companypany? You deny the receipt of this money from the wholesalers and in fact it appears that you have filed a criminal companyplaint against the wholesaler for alleged extortion of certain receipts from you. The said agreement provided that the wholesalers would have to deposit with the Company a sum of Rs. It is clear that the facts of misconduct alleged against the respondent as his acts were 1. taking personal loans from the wholesalers, 2. denial by him of these loans and filing a criminal companyplaint against the wholesalers, and 3. 5 that the respondent had taken loans on his personal account from the wholesalers for which he had executed the said two bonds. On December 6, 1960, the Company received a telegram from the wholesalers that there was cash shortage of Rs. The Appellant Company had also appointed by an agreement M s. Hari Bhagat Laxmi Bhagat at Kathmandu as its wholesalers. On August 26, 1956 the Company sent the respondent to Kathmandu for promoting sales and for assisting the said wholesalers in their sales. The respondents case, on the other hand, was that he had number taken any loans from the said wholesalers, that companytrary to the said agreement With the wholesalers, the Companys officers at Patna Branch companynived at credit sales effected by the wholesalers, that the wholesalers, on companying to know that on December 5, 1960 the respondent had handed over charge to a new salesman, got panicky and realising that they would number be able to recover the sale proceeds of the said credit sales, they and the said K. P. Sinha, the Branch Manager arranged between them to get the said loan bonds executed by the respondent, that the wholesalers thereafter also extorted under companyrcion the said two receipts, and that therefore the wholesalers version that there was cash shortage of Rs. On December 27, 1960, the respondent intimated to the Company that the said receipts were extorted from him by the wholesalers, and that pending instructions from the Company he was filing a criminal companyplaint against them. It may be mentioned that it was number the Companys case that the respondent had embezzled the Companys monies, its case all throughout being that the monies for which the respondent was said to have executed the said bonds and the said receipts were number the Companys monies but were for loans advanced by the wholesalers. On December 9, 1960, the wholesalers wrote to the Company that they had paid the said two amounts to the respondent for remittance to the Company and asked the Company to send them the requisite credit vouchers therefore. The respondent was also said to have written on 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th December, 1960, letters to the said Branch Manager admitting that he had obtained the said loans from the wholesalers. On December 28, 1960, the wholesalers also enclosed companyies of two receipts purported to have been executed by the respondent in respect of the said two amounts. The Labour Court on these pleadings framed four questions for its companysideration Whether the said wholesalers had advanced to the respondent the said two sums? On receipt of the telegram, one K. P. Sinha, the Branch Manager at Patna, went over to Kathmandu and made a preliminary enquiry in the companyrse of which it was said that the respondent admitted that he had taken personal loans from the wholesalers and had executed two loan bonds for Rs. 6 that by executing the said two receipts he had made it appear as if the said monies were part of the monies given to him for remittance, thus enabling the wholesalers to allege that they had hand ed them over for remittance and were numberlonger liable to the companypany for them. 20,000/ , that they would be paid companymission at 3 on all sale proceeds in respect of sales effected by them, that out of the stock supplied to the wholesalers the Companys own salesman posted at Kathmandu would also be entitled to effect sales and that the sale proceeds in respect of sales effected by both of them should be remitted to 1969 S. C./63 XI G 6 the Company through its salesman. In his reply to the said charge sheet, the respondent denied the said alleged transactions, his case, as aforesaid, being that the said bonds and the said receipts as also the said four letters written by him from the 7th to the 10th of December, 1960, were secured from him either under the influence of the Branch Manager or extorted from him under force and companyrcion by the wholesalers. It is clear that the wholesalers had changed their case, their case first being that the said two amounts were advanced by way of loans to the respondent and later on stating that the said two amounts were given to the respondent for remittance but the respondent had failed to remit them and that therefore there was cash shortage of Rs. By such companyduct and behavior you have brought down the reputation of the Company at Kathmandu and therefore, you have companymitted a gross misconduct prejudicial to the interest of the Company. The Company thereafter served a charge sheet on the respondent alleging therein that he had abused the position of trust and responsibility as a Companys employee and brought down thereby its reputation and had companymitted the following acts of misconduct, namely You have given room for allegations to be made against you by the wholesalers Hari Bhagat Laxmi Bhagat with respect to transactions admittedly entered into by you in your personal capacity. Aggrieved by the order of discharge, the respondent filed a companyplaint in the Labour Court, Patna under Section 26 of the Bihar Shops Establishment Act, 1953 in which he pleaded inter alia a that there was numberreasonable cause for dispensing with his services, b that he was number guilty of any misconduct, c that he had number entered into personal transactions with the wholesalers, and d that the officers of the companypany in companylusion with the wholesalers, and to save their gross negligence, took statements from the petitioner under threat and undue influence. The enquiry officer companycluded his report by holding that the charge that the respondent had entered into personal transactions with the wholesalers taking advantage of his position was satisfactorily proved and that he had made abuse of the trust reposed in him by the companypany and by systematic irregular work and disobedience of the instructions of the companypany he had managed to keep everybody in the dark with a view to companyering his illegal activities. 11,000/ by the respondent. No difficulty appears to have been experienced by the Company by this arrangement until the middle of 1960. 4,600/ on 3 12 1960. 7 that the letters of the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th December, 1960, were voluntarily written by the respondent to the Branch Manager, and 8 that it was possible that the said two receipts were extorted from the respondent. It was admitted before us that the Appellant Company has number framed any rules of companyduct for its servants and further that there was numberrule forbidding a Companys employee from entering into personal transactions such as loans. 11,000/ . The result was that the Company sent one P. N. Saxena to Kathmandu and also a relief salesman, one K. B. Sinha, who on December 5, 1960, took over charge from the respondent. The Labour Court with the companysent of the parties admitted the evidence recorded at the domestic enquiry as substantive evidence and also recorded certain other evidence led by the parties, and ultimately found 1 that the domestic enquiry was properly held, 2 that the companypanys companytention that it had jurisdiction to interfere with the findings of the domestic enquiry only, if it was proved that there was want of good faith or victimisation or unfair labour practice or that the enquiry officer had companymitted any basic error or violated the principles of natural justice or that his findings were baseless or perverse was wrong, and that under Section 26 2 and 5 it companyld record evidence and companye to its own findings irrespective of the findings of the domestic enquiry, 3 that the respondents companytention that the wholesalers extorted from him on December 8, 1960, the said two receipts bearing dates October 3, 1960 and December 2, 1960 was right, 4 that the denial by the respondent of having taken any loan from the whole? 6,400/ on 2 10 1960 and Rs. At the end of the enquiry the enquiry officer gave the following findings 1 that between August to December 1960, the respondent was guilty of irregularities in his work, 2 that stocks were sold on credit and further that the respondent had failed to remit sale proceeds thereof, 3 that in spite of assurances given by him to be regular in future the respondent failed to live up to these assurances, 4 that during the time when the respondent was at Kathmandu the Companys business was low and that was due to his failure to inform the companypany of the market position there and his failure to obey instructions given to him by the officers at Patna Branch. Whether they were with companysent and knowledge of the companypanys officers at Patna, and Whether the companypanys said officers for fear that they might be taken to task by the Head Office for permitting such credit sales got the respondent to admit in various letters that the said two sums were advanced to him as personal loans? It is clear from the aforesaid findings that although the charge sheet alleged only two acts of misconduct on the part of the respondent, the enquiry officer ad allowed evidence to be led on several other matters outside the scope of the charge sheet such as the alleged irregularities on the part of the respondent prior to December 1960, his alleged disobedience of instructions given to him by the Patna Branch, his failure to live up to the assurances given by him etc., and further the enquiry officer had given his findings on those matters which were number the subject matter of the charges. Further, by such irresponsible companyduct on your part you have also forfeited the companyfidence of the Company reposed on you. In the absence of any such rule, it is prima facie difficult to say how a loan or its denial companyld be said to be acts of misconduct. 11,000/ made up of Rs. But it was said that thereafter the respondent became irregular in remitting the sale proceeds and that numberwithstanding his assurances to regularise his work he did number do so. 11,000/ was false. In reply to the said companyplaint the companypany alleged that after a careful enquiry and on the basis of evidence adduced thereat and the findings of the enquiry officer the companypany had companye to the companyclusion that the petitioner was guilty of the charges leveled against him, and had decided to discharge him from the service of the companypany instead of dismissing him which however would have been perfectly warranted by the facts and circumstances of the case and the charges established against the petitioner. 6,400/ and Rs. An enquiry into the said charges was duly held thereafter wherein the respondent admittedly was given an opportunity of being heard and to lead such evidence as he desired. 4,600/ . This appeal, by special leave, is against the order by which the Labour Court, Patna, set aside the order of discharge from service passed by the Appellant Company against the respondent and which also directed his reinstatement. The charge sheet called upon the respondent to show cause why for the aforesaid gross misconduct companymitted by you, you should number be dismissed from service or otherwise suitably dealt with. By an order dated September 20, 1961, the respondent was discharged from the companypanys service with immediate effect for the aforesaid items of misconduct companymitted by and proved against you. The last allegation is obviously an inference from the alleged acts 1 and 2 , and number an independent act of misconduct. The respondent was appointed a salesman on August 19, 1954, by a letter of appointment, clause 9 whereof provided that either party companyld terminate the companytract of employment by a numberice of 28 days. The report ended by stating that all the charges had been satisfactorily established by companyent evidence beyond any reasonable doubt. M. Shelat, J.

1 in W. P. No. 2 in W. P. No. 77 of 1957. In Writ Petition No. R. L. lyengar, for the petitioner in W. P. No. Pritam Singh Safeer, for the petitioner in W. P. No. N. Sinha and Raghunath, for petitioner in W. P. No. Naunit Lal, for the petitioner in W. Ps. The previous petition for a writ filed by the petitioner No. B. Agarwala and K. P. Gupta, for the petitioner in W. No. Veda Vayasa and C. P. Lal, for respondent in W. P. No. Our decision in this writ petition will govern the other writ petitions as well. 66 and 67 of 1956. 66 and 67 of 1956, 8 of 1960, 77 of 1957, 15 of 1957 and 5 of 1958. 77 of 1957 the petitioner has stated in paragraph 11 of his petition that he had moved the High Court of Punjab by a writ petition under Arts. 1 in W. Ps. Petition No. In Petition No. It is under these circumstances that the petitioners have filed the present petition under Art. It appears that a companylessee of the petitioner had also filed a similar Writ Petition, No. 3a and 4 in W. Ps. 15 of 1957. No 15 of 1957. These six writ petitions filed Gaje, under Art. The opponents in all these petitions have raised a preliminary objection against the maintainability of the writ petitions on the ground that in each case the petitioners had moved the High Court for a similar writ under Art. Since the said respondents refused to deliver possession of the land to the petitioners the petitioners had to file suits for ejectment under s. 180 of the U. P. Tenancy Act, 1939. 66 of 1956 alleges that for the last fifty years the petitioners and their ancestors have been the tenants of the land described in Annexure A attached to the petition and that respondents 3 to 5 are the proprietors of the said land. 67 of 1956, is exactly the same. P. Lal, for respondent No. The argument is that the dismissal of a writ petition filed by a party for obtaining an appropriate writ creates a bar of res judicata against a similar petition filed in this Court under Art. Thus it would be clear that the dismissal of this writ petition on 17 3 1958 also cannot companystitute a bar against the companypetence of the present writ petition. K. Daphtary, Solicitor General for India, R. Gana Dar pathy Iyer and R. H. Dhebar, for the respondent in W. P. No. ORIGINAL JURISDICTION Writ Petitions Nos. Aggrieved by this decision the petitioners moved the High Court at Allahabad under Art. The effect of the said decision was plainly against the petitioners companytentions, and so the learned advocate who appeared for the petitioners had numberalternative but number to press the petition before the High Court. The preliminary objection raised against this writ petition is therefore rejected and it is ordered that this writ petition be set down for hearing before a Constitution Bench. 5 of 1958. In pursuance of the appellate decree the petitioners obtained possession of the land through Court. The decision of the Board was based on the ground that by virtue of the U. P. Zamindary Abolition and Land Reforms Amendment Act XVI of 1953 respondents 3 to 5 had become entitled to the possession of the land. This order the writ petition withdrawn which was passed on February 3, 1955, cannot therefore support the plea of res judicata against the present petition. Before the said petition was filed a Full Bench of the Allahabad High Court had already interpreted s. 20 of the U. P. Land Reforms Act as amended by Act XVI of 1953. The position with regard to the companypanion petition, No. Writ Petitions under Article 32 of the Constitution of India for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights. It appears that the petitioner further filed an application for review of the said order under O. Bhawani Lal and P. C. Agarwal, for respondents Nos. In companysequence the said petition was dismissed on March 29, 1955. Respondents 3 to 5 then preferred a second appeal before the Board of Revenue under s. 267 of the U. P. Tenancy Act, 1939. On March 29, 1954, the Board allowed the appeal preferred by respondents 3 to 5 and dismissed the petitioners suit with respect to the land described in Annexure A, whereas the said respondents appeal with regard to other lands were dismissed. 226 and 227 but the same was dismissed in limine on July 14, 1957. In the trial companyrt the petitioners succeeded and a decree was passed in their favour. 299 of 1958. On this writ petition the High Court numberdoubt made certain observations and findings but in the end it came to the companyclusion that a writ petition was number the proper proceeding for deciding such old disputes about title and so it left the petitioner to obtain a declaration about title from a companypetent civil or revenue companyrt in a regular suit. In the result these two petitions fail and are dismissed there would be numberorder as to companyts. K. Daphtary, Solicitor General for India, N. S Bindra and R. H. Dhebar, for respondent in W.P. Owing to companymunal disturbances in the Western District of Uttar Pradesh in 1947, the petitioners had to leave their village in July, 1947 later in November, 1947, they returned but they found that during their temporary absence respondents 3 to 5 had entered in unlawful possession of the said land. 226 of the Constitution for the issue of a writ of certiorari to quash the said judgment. 47, r. 1 read with s. 151 of the Code but the said application was also heard and dismissed in limine on March 1, 1957. 8 of 1960. M. Sikri, Advocate General, Punjab, N. S. Bindra and D. Gupta, for respondent No. It is number clear from this statement whether any speaking order was passed on the petition or number. 68 of 1952 in the Allahabad High Court was withdrawn by his learned companynsel and the High Court therefore dismissed the said petition with the express observation that the merits had number been companysidered by the High Court in dismissing it and so numberorder is to companyts was passed. 8 of 1960 the position is substantially different. The said decree. Govind Saran Singh, for respondent. was companyfirmed in appeal which was taken by respondents 3 to 5 before the learned Additional Commissioner. These suits were filed in June, 1948. It is also number clear whether a speaking order was passed on this application or number. March 27.

The respondent was indeed guilty of a serious misconduct by writing to his client the letter as aforesaid. In the order the State Bar Council stated that keeping in view the interest of the litigating public and the legal profession such a practice whenever found has to be dealt with in an appropriate manner. They have requisite power and rather a duty while supervising the companyduct of the members of the legal profession, to inflict appropriate penalty when members are found to be guilty of misconduct. The exercise of power of review does number empower a Disciplinary Committee to modify the earlier order passed by another Disciplinary Committee taking a different view of the same set of facts. In this appeal while issuing numberice this Court had stayed till further orders the impugned order passed by the Disciplinary Committee of the Bar Council of India. It is evident that the earlier Committee, on companysideration of all relevant facts, came to the companyclusion that the advocate was number worthy of remaining in the profession. By order dated 31st July, 1999, the Disciplinary Committee of Bar Council of India companyprising of three members enhanced the punishment and directed that the name of the respondent be struck off from the roll of advocates, thus debarring him permanently from the practice. The punishment, of companyrse, has to be companymensurate with the gravity of the misconduct. The age factor and the factor of number of years put in by the respondent were taken into companysideration by the Committee when removal from the roll of the State Council was directed. The disciplinary bodies are guardians of the due administration of justice. Holding respondent guilty of misconduct under Section 35 of the Advocates Act, State Bar Council suspended him from practice for a period of two years with effect from 15th June, 1997. The said public interest is required to be protected by those on whom the power has been entrusted to take disciplinary action. Under these circumstances it was urged that the respondent had number companymitted any professional misconduct. The earlier order had taken into companysideration all relevant factors for companying to the companyclusion that the advocate was totally unfit to be a lawyer having written such a letter and punishment lesser than debarring him permanently cannot be imposed. In the present case, the earlier order companysidering all relevant aspects directed expulsion of respondent from profession which order companyld number be lightly modified while deciding a review petition. In substance, the companyplaint was that respondent while appearing as a companynsel in a suit pending in a civil companyrt wrote a letter to Mahant Rajgiri his client inter alia stating that his another client has told him that the companycerned judge accepts bribe and he has obtained several favourable orders from him in his favour if he can influence the judge through some other gentleman, then it is different thing, otherwise he should send to him a sum of Rs.10,000/ so that through the said client the suit is got decided in his Mahant Rajgiri favour. Considering the nature of the misconduct, the penalty of permanent debarment had been imposed on the respondent which without any valid ground has been modified in exercise of power of review. In reply to companyplaint, respondent pleaded that the services of the Presiding Judge were terminated on account of illegal gratification and he had followed the numberms of professional ethics and brought these facts to the knowledge of his client to protect his interest and the money was number sent by his client to him. The letter further stated that if Mahant can personally win over the judge on his side then there is numberneed to spend money. This letter is number disputed. This vital point which touches the root of the companytroversy seems to have been ignored at the time of the passing the impugned order. K.SABHARWAL,J. On facts, there is number much dispute. The petitioner is an old man of 80 years. There is numberhing on the record to suggest it. We admit the appeal and heard learned companynsel for the parties.

According to the election petitioner on account of the aforesaid omission the returned candidate was number eligible to participate in the election. However as two other numberinations filed by the respondent election petitioner as an independent candidate was accepted, he companytested the election in which he lost. Acceptance of respondents numberination form has materially affected the election result. According to the respondent election petitioner, one of the numberinations filed by him as a candidate of the Indian National Congress Party was wrongly rejected on the ground that the symbol allotment letter was submitted by the election petitioner after the stipulated time. On a reading of the election petition filed by the respondent No.1, it would appear to us that several grounds were urged to invalidate the election in question. It is also submitted that the respondent number only failed to submit order by Competent Authority accepting his resignation but also failed to furnish a certified companyy of the voter list to entitle him to companytest the election from Devsar companystituency as he is registered voter of 80, Singrauli companystituency and without filing the certified companyy of relevant part of voter list he was number eligible to companytest from other companystituency. In addition to the above, it was pleaded that the appellant returned candidate had failed to furnish, along with the numberination paper, a companyy certified companyy of the electoral roll of No.80 Singrauli companystituency in which electoral roll his name was claimed to be appearing against serial No.118. Apart from the above ground, the election petition was also filed alleging that the appellant returned candidate was a government servant. The election of the appellant to the No.81 Deosar Constituency of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly which was held on 11.05.2013 has been set aside by the High Court in an election petition filed by the respondent No.1 herein. Consequently, he challenges the rejection of his numberination as a Indian National Congress Party candidate as being wrongful. His numberination, therefore, was wrongly accepted. The High Court answered the first two questions in favour of the returned candidate. RANJAN GOGOI, J. The validity of the said order of the High Court is the subject matter of the present appeal.

The main Basti is to the West of the Railway line. but has also attracted substantially a large number of refugees there is a great dearth of houses and the acquisition of the land in question is essential as it is just in the heart of ever growing locality of this town As numbericed by the High Court the land had certain disadvantages also.

This sale deed has been rejected on the ground that plot No. But more and more land were required for building purposes due to the extension of the town as also due to influx of a large number of refugees from Pakistan in the year 1947. Very near the North of the land there was a bungalow of Church Mission Society, It will appear from the Societys application dated March 11, 1947 as also from the report of the Sub Divisional Officer who was the Land Acquision Officer that the land was class to the inhabited area of New Mandi and was the best of all other available lands from the point of its hygienic companyditions and healthy enviranments, The Sub Divisional Officer had summed up his report thus I have companye to the companyclusion that due to the acute housing problem in this thickly populated town which is number only a big companymercial and business center of the western districts of U.P. 19.403/ . 6/ per sq.yard. 7 the sale deed dated 15 5 1946 Rs.

In these circumstances, the appellant prayed for companydonation of delay in filing the objections and. By another letter the appellant undertook to pay Shri Singh according to schedule of fees by 1st week of October, 1976. The objection for setting aside the award was filed in the High Court on 29th September, 1976 within the period of limitation. In the meantime Shri B. Singh wrote a letter to the appellant stating his stand in the matter of settlement of his fees. The letter also stated that Shri B.

Stating that the appellant has decided to challenge the award, the companynsel was requested to draft and file the objections within the time allowed for filing the objections. On 21 10 1976 the appellant wrote to Shri B. Singh stating the facts and saying that it was never agreed to between them that a sum of Rs. The Plea for companydonation of delay and for the extension of time for filing the objection for setting aside the award Was on the ground that the appellant was unable to file the petition as its advocate Shri B.

The Registrar of the Court having returned the objections for re filing after removing the defects, the objections ought to have been refiled within a reasonable time but as the appellant did number file them within reasonable time there was numbersufficient cause for exercising its discretion. When the matter was taken up by the Deputy Registrar on 25th October, 1976, Shri D. P. Mukherjee, Advocate, appearing on behalf of the appellant made a submission that the appellant wanted to change its advocate and that it may be given some more time for filing the objections.

He stated that though it has been repeatedly made clear that the objections would be filed only after receiving full payment, still keeping in view the entire circumstances, the objections were filed on 29th September, 1976. Regarding the companyduct of Shri B. Singh the companynsel who was engaged by the appellant we feel the less said the better. The High Court also was of the view that as objections filed on 29th October, 1976 were number stamped, it companyld number be deemed to have been filed at all. The petition for determination of authority of Shri B. Singh to act as advocate was ordered and we are number companycerned with that in this appeal. within time but numberstamps were fixed to the objections and the date of verification was number entered. The appellant was served with a numberice on 31st August, 1976 calling upon it to submit the objection for setting aside the award within one month from the date of the service of the numberice. The request for extension of time was strongly opposed by the respondents on the ground that the time for filing objections had already expired. The bill companytained two items One for professional fees for drafting the objections as per companyumn, 3 d of the schedule amounting to Rs. In the meanwhile the appellant requested Shri B.

Singh which is relied on for proving the obstructive attitude of the learned companynsel for the appellant, which resulted in the delay, may be referred to. To sum up the reasons given by the learned Judge are i though Shri B. Singh may have acted without care or attention of the interest of his client or may have behaved recklessly, but nevertheless as he was negligent the companyduct on the part of the companynsel cannot be held as sufficient cause for companydonation of delay the companyrt found that Shri Mukherjee, companynsel for the appellant was unable to take any steps for filing the objections for setting aside the award before 21st January specially when the material for drafting objections was already available either in companyrt records or in the records with the appellant iii Though it is number clear as to what time the Deputy Registrar gave for removing the objections and refiling, it was number done within a reasonable time.

A dispute arose and the matter was referred to respondents 2 and 3 who gave an award on 23rd July, 1976. Shri Singh required papers along with the cheques for professional fees to be handed over to him failing which further action in the matter will be held up and the appellant will be held responsible for all the companysequences. On 6th August, 1976 the first respondent filed a petition under section 14 of the Arbitration Act in the Delhi High Court calling upon respondents 2 and 3 to submit the award and records of the arbitration proceedings to the Court.
