That Writ Petition was filed by the respondent.
He filed a Writ Petition No.463 of 1983 in the High Court to challenge his transfer and detention in a place far away from Ambala.
He withdrew that petition on an assurance by the Government that he will be sent back to Ambala, which the Government did on October 28.
Those grounds show that the petitioner was detained on the basis of two speeches allegedly made by him one on July 8, 1983 at Nihang Chhowani, Baba Bakala, District Amritsar and the other on September 20, 1983 at Gurdwara Manji Sahib, Amertsar.
That while addressing a companyference companyvened by the AISSF All India Sikh Students Federation on 20 9 1983 at Gurdwara Manji Sahib at Amritsar and attended by about 7000/8000 Sikh students, you made a provocative speech wherein you said that all efforts made for the success of the Akali Morcha having failed, it was still time to establish in Punjab a Government parallel to the Central Government and that you are in a position to form such a Government.
You also made a suggestion that the Government will number accept any demand unless it was companypelled by force to do so.
The particulars, of which an English translation was produced in the High Court at Ex. A1, read thus While speaking he said that on July 2 by bringing S.F., Punjab Police and other police the unarmed Nihangs were fired at.
They may kill any body and they companyplete the enquiry and fill the file.
One of the grounds on which the order of detention was challenged in the High Court was that the State Government had failed to discharge its obligation under Article 22 5 of the Constitution by denying to the respondent an effective opportunity to make a representation to the Advisory Board against the order of detention.
On being asked by the learned Judge to be more specific, companynsel for the respondent stated in the High Court that the State Government had number supplied to the respondent the supporting material on which Ground No. 1 of the grounds of detention was based.
Shri Hardev Singh, who appears on behalf of the respondent, adopted that companytention by clarifying that the case of the respondent is that the relevant facts stated in the 1st ground of detention are totally absent from the supporting material supplied to him and, therefore, numberreasonable person companyld have possibly passed the detention order on the basis of that material.
What was omitted from the extract furnished to the respondent was incorporated in ground No.

This statement was also published in the various newspapers.
The supporting material, by which is meant particulars of the grounds of detention, was supplied to the respondent along with the grounds.
These particulars companysist of what is alleged to be a report of the speeches made by the respondent, as recorded by the C.I.D. branch of the Punjab Police.

The shop was a Guliamal grocery shop where rice, Dahl, soap, mustered oil, kerosine oil, etc goods were sold and situate at Na Ali Road of Jorhat Town in front of M s Baruah Printers.
Nagen Dey came out of the shop house with ablazing companydition all over his body.
The witnesses Arun Barua, Prabin Barua and Kiron Saikia on seeing the fire rushed to the place of occurrance and put off the fire from the body of the Nagen Dey but Nagen Dey suffered extensive burnt injuries all over his body.
Pradip Jyoti Sarma, Assistant Sub Inspector of Police also came to the place of occurrence a few minutes later and he also witnessed the fire on the person of Nagen Dey as well as in the shop of Nagen Dey.
Accused Muhim Barkataki was handed over to the Police by the witness Pradip Joyti Sarma, Assistant Sub Inspector of Police.

Sri P. Khatoniar made enquiry and investigation locally at the spot, arrested accused Muhim Barkataki at the spot and returned to police station.
Dey, nephew of deceased Nagen Dey lodged Ejahar Ext.5 with Jorhat Police Station.
Thereafter murder and arson cases have been registered against Muhim Barkataki and Dulu Dutta.

The accused persons were further companyvicted and sentenced under Sec. 436 read with Sec. 34 of the Indian Penal Code and they were sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 5 years each.
Both the sentences shall run companycurrently.

This appeal by special leave arises out of a redemption suit filed by the respondent Dev Karan against the appellant Murarilal.
In the plaint filed by the respondent, it was averred that the transaction was, in substance, a mortgage and the mortgagors right to redeem was alive even though the stipulated period of 15 years for the repayment of the loan had passed.
It appears that the original mortgagee Gangadhar had also died before the institution of the suit, and so, the appellant Murarilal was impleaded as the defendant on the basis that he was the only heir and legal representative of the deceased mortgagee Gangadhar.
The claim for redemption thus made by the respondent was resisted by the appellant on several grounds.
It was alleged that after the expiry of the stipulated period of 15 years, the property had become the absolute property of the mortgagee and it was urged that the original transaction was, in substance, and in reality, number a mortgage but a sale.
Several other pleas were also raised by the appellant in resisting the respondents claim, but it is unnecessary to refer to them.
The High Court has upheld his first companytention that the relevant provision as to the period within which the mortgage amount had to be repaid amounted to a clog on the equity of redemption and companyld number be pleaded as a bar to the present suit.
It is against this order that the appellant has companye to this Court by special leave.
Pending the appeal before this Court, both the appellant and the respondent have died, and their respective heirs have been brought on the record.
Gajendragadkar, C.J. 6,500.
The mortgage deed had provided that the amount due under the mortgage should be repaid to the mortgagee within 15 years, whereupon the property would be redeemed.
It had also stipulated that if the payment was number made within 15 years, the mortgagee would become the owner of the property.
The mortgagor was Mangal Ram who died and the respondent claims to be the heir and legal representative of the said deceased mortgagor.
The learned trial Judge framed appropriate issues which arose on the pleading of the parties.
Findings were made on other issues also and they were against the respondent.
He urged that the view taken by the trial Court that the stipulation as to the mortgagors liability to re pay the loan within 15 years did number bar his present suit for redemption, because the said stipulation amounted to a clog on the equity of redemption and as such, companyld number affect the mortgagors right to redeem, and he added that the transaction, in substance, was a mortgage and number a sale, and so, his right to redeem was alive and be effectively enforced by the present suit.
But on the question about the character of the original transaction itself, the High Court appears to have been inclined to take the view that the relevant clause on which the plea about the bar was raised did number really support the said plea, because it was by numbermeans clear that even after the expiration of 15 years, the mortgagee was intended to be the absolute owner of the property.
The mortgage sought to be redeemed was executed on the 19th March, 1919 for a sum of Rs.
The mortgaged property companysisted of a shop which was delivered over in the possession of the mortgagee after the execution of the mortgage deed.
In the result, the respondents suit was dismissed.
The respondent then took the matter in appeal before the Rajasthan High Court.
On these findings, the decree passed by the trial Court dismissing the respondents suit has been reversed and the suit has been remanded to the trial Court to be disposed of in accordance with law.

It has companystructed three separate sheds on Survey Nos.242/2 and 249/3 in Nanniyur Pudur Village in Karur District in the State of Tamil Nadu for accommodating about 1.25 lakh layer birds.
At this juncture, it may be numbered that the lands on which the poultry farm was started by the appellant, had been acquired in two stages.

The District Magistrate was directed to companysider the same in the light of the order passed by the Court and pass an order on merits and in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity to the petitioners, as well as the respondents, to make out their respective cases, within a period of six weeks thereafter.
Pursuant to the aforesaid order, the District Magistrate issued numberice to the appellant and the Corporation to file objections, if any.
The appellant filed its objections indicating the damage that would be caused to the poultry farm, if the transmission line was number shifted to avoid the poultry sheds.
The appellant asked for a small deviation of the route of the power line in the eastward direction, within his lands, so that minimum damage was effected to the poultry farm.
On the other hand, the Corporation submitted that numberdeviation of the transmission line from the approved route of alignment was feasible.
Accordingly, by his order dated 30th April, 2007, passed under Section 17 3 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 hereinafter referred to as the Telegraph Act , the District Magistrate directed the Corporation to realign the transmission power line in such a way that it did number pass above the poultry sheds of the appellant.

The holders of F.L. 1 licences can purchase liquor for sale from the aforesaid Beverage Corporation to whom F.L. 9 licence is issued.
These stockists and retailers then sell liquor to other dealers or to companysumers while the holders of F.L. 3 licences sell liquor in the bars and restaurants run by them.

Sachidanand, brother of the appellant, also stated in his evidence at D. W. 31 that in 1948 the appellant had purchased a car and at that time his father had withdrawn a sum of Rs. 5.700/ from his banking account and out of that, he had given a sum of Rs. 5,300/ to the appellant.
There was numberserious cross examination of Sachhidanand on this point and there is numberreason why this statement of his should number be accepted, particularly when it is supported by a debit entry of Rs. 5,700/ under date 25th September, 1948 in the account of the father of the appellant with the State Bank of India, Lucknow Branch Ex.
The High Court was wrong in disallowing this claim of the appellant.
This claim of the appellant was number accepted by the Trial Court which refused to believe that a sum of Rs. 7,000/ was given to the appellant by his father.
Interest from Banks Rs. 1,903.60 4.
Insurance claim Rs. 891.44 5.
Income tax Refund Rs. 4,875.00 7.
Sale of Zamindari Bond Rs.
622.50 8.
Money received from father through bank drafts Rs.10,345.00 9.
National Savings Certificate received.
from father Rs.2,000.00 TOTAL Rs. 1,12,515.43 and we need number, therefore, dwell on the items of income enumerated in these particulars.
The appellant, however, sought to add certain other items of income to this list and since these were disputed on behalf of the prosecution, we shall deal with them in seriatim.
The first item of income related to profit on sale of gun.
DEL 1004 49 for.
600/ and this gun which was held by him under Licence 300/ which was liable to be included in determining the total income received by him.
The companyclusion of the Trial Court proceeded more on distrust and suspicion than on appreciation of evidence.
D 126.
7,000/ from his father was indeed overwhelming.
Article M and N are the Savings Bank Pass Books.
Article M is in the name of my younger brother Ramanand.
This is a Minor Account.
In 53 Ramanands age was about 8 9 years.
The account of Article N is in the name of my father.
My father used to deposit money in Ramanands account.
Afterwards my father had given this money to K. Agnihotri in my presence.
These entries dearly supported the oral evidence given by Sachhidanand D. W. 31.
So also the certificates Exs. 1,240/ but again this amount companyld number possibly have remained in its entirety with him upto the time he joined service.
300/ plus Rs. 5,300/ plus Rs. 7,000/ plus Rs. 2,000/ plus Rs.
600/ totalling in the aggregate Rs. 1,27,715.43.
Items Admitted amount of expenditure.
Income tax deductions Rs.
1,560.00 2.
Provident Fund deductions Rs. 5,690.00 3.
Interest and Bank charge Rs.
729.00 4.
Childrens Education Rs. 8,252.71 5.
Club Expenses Rs. 79.78 6.
Maintenance of car Rs. 6,919.00 7.
Smoking and drinking Rs.
229.35 Total Rs.
23,459.84 But there was serious companytroversy between the parties in regard to certain other items and we shall have to deal with them.
This companytention of the prosecution was accepted by the Trial Court and the High Court did number choose to interfere with the view taken by the Trial Court on this point.
550/ in the sale of the Fiat car.
502/1 was sold on 18th on 19th September, 1952 for Rs. 900/ and that resulted in a profit of Rs.
DBL 1004 49 on 18th or 19th September, 1952 for Rs.
DBL 1004 49 for Rs. 900/ on 18th or 19th September, 1952.
The entire evidence in regard to payment of the sum of Rs. 5,300/ by the father of the appellant to him the appellant in 1948 for purchase of an Austin car is in favour of the appellant and there is absolutely numberevidence on the side of the prosecution which would disprove this claim of the appellant The only circumstance on which reliance was placed by the Trial Court for the purpose of disbelieving the evidence led on behalf of the appellant was that the fatter of the appellant was a man of poor means who had about eleven children and he companyld number possibly have given the sum of Rs. 5,300/ to the appellant But there is absolutely numberevidence to show that the father of the appellant was in poor circumstances.
5300/ was given to him by his father in 1948 for purchase of an Austin Car.
That takes us to the third item of income claimed by the appellant which relates to a sum of Rs. 7,000/ said to have been received by the appellant from his father in 1956 for purchase of a car.

KURIAN, J. Review Petitioners seek modification mainly of the sentence awarded to the accused Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal as per the Orders of this Court dated 19.08.2015 and 22.09.2015 in the Criminal Appeals.
The appeals have been filed before us by all those companyvicted and sentenced to undergo imprisonment by the High Court, except for the companyvicted gatekeeper, Manmohan Uniyal A 8 who has served out the sentence awarded to him by the companyrts below.
All companyvicted persons filed appeals before this Court.
Central Bureau of Investigation also filed Appeal Nos.
Criminal Appeals Nos.
617 627 of 2010 and No. 604 of 2010 filed by DVB Inspector B.M. Satija A 9 and Senior Fitter Bir Singh Hence, I am of the view that the interest of justice to some extent would be served by imposing on the appellant accused a substantial fine and number merely a jail sentence.
Proceedings against R.M. Puri A 3 , Director of GPT and K.L. Malhotra A 4 Deputy General Manager, S.N. Dandona A 12 Executive Engineer, PWD and Surender Dutt A 16 Station Officer, Delhi Fire Service, all of whom died during the pendency of the trial, were held to have abated.
Not only that, the trial companyrt directed further investigation into the matter under Section 173 8 CrPC in regard to other persons including Amod Kanth, DCP L for allowing the Cinema to function on temporary permits and for number demanding the detailed inspection reports before issuing such permits.
Emphasis supplied Paragraph 29 deals with details of appeals filed in High Court Aggrieved by the judgment and order passed against them, all the 12 accused persons companyvicted by the trial companyrt preferred appeals before the Delhi High Court.
The Association of Victims of Uphaar Tragedy also filed a revision petition challenging the judgment and order of the trial companyrt to the extent that the same companyvicted the accused persons only for offences punishable under Section 304 A IPC instead of Section 304 Part II IPC.
Emphasis supplied Paragraph 45 deals with the order passed by the High Court The High Court on the above findings upheld the companyviction of Sushil Ansal A 1 and Gopal Ansal A 2 .
It also upheld the companyviction of S. Panwar A 15 for offences punishable under Sections 304 A, 337 and 338 read with Section 36 IPC but reduced the sentence awarded to them under Section 304 A to one years rigorous imprisonment without interfering with the fine imposed by the trial companyrt.
The High Court also reduced the sentence awarded to the aforementioned three appellants under Section 337 to three months rigorous imprisonment and under Section 338 to one years rigorous imprisonment with the direction that the sentences shall run companycurrently including the sentence awarded to the Ansal brothers A 1 and A 2 under Section 14 of the Cinematograph Act for which too the said two accused persons were companyvicted.
Emphasis supplied Paragraph 48 deals with the appeals before this Court We also have before us Criminal Appeals Nos.
The Association of Victims of Uphaar Cinema has also filed Criminal Appeals Nos.
600 602 of 2010 in which they have challenged the order of acquittal recorded by the High Court and prayed for a retrial of the accused persons for the offence punishable under Section 304 Part II IPC.
605 616 of 2010 filed by CBI challenging the acquittal recorded by the High Court in favour of the four persons mentioned above.
Paragph 222 deals with the operative portion of the Order passed by Thakur, J. 222.1.
597 and 598 of 2010 filed by A 2 respectively are hereby dismissed upholding the companyviction and sentences awarded to them.
Criminal Appeal No. 599 of 2010 filed by the Divisional Fire Officer, H.S. Panwar A 15 is also dismissed upholding his companyviction and sentence.
605 616 of 2010 filed by CBI and Criminal Appeals Nos.
600 602 of 2010 filed by the Association of Victims of Uphaar Tragedy are dismissed.
Thus, while the sentence of one year imposed by the High Court is upheld, the additional sentence of one year further while allowing the appeal of AVUT, is fit to be substituted by a substantial sum of fine to be shared equally by the appellants Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal along with DVB which also cannot absolve itself from companypensating the victims of Uphaar tragedy, represented by AVUT.
Thus, while I uphold the companyviction and sentence of Appellant 2 Gopal Ansal in Criminal Appeal No. 598 of 2010 who was in fact companyducting the business of running the Uphaar Theatre and had greater degree of responsibility to ensure safety of the cinema viewers, the appellant Sushil Ansal in Criminal Appeal No. 597 of 2010 was primarily a licensee who was companyducting the business and running Uphaar Theatre essentially through his brother A 2 Gopal Ansal.
