The said review petition was placed before a Division Bench companysisting of K.Sreedhar Rao and Ravi Malimath, JJ., at the Dharwad Circuit Bench.
The third respondent objected to the hearing of the review petition by the said Bench on the ground that the writ appeal was heard and disposed of by the Division Bench companysisting of Gopala Gowda and L.Narayana Swamy, JJ.
and the review petition should therefore be heard and decided by the same Bench.
A Division Bench companysisting of K.Sreedhar Rao and Ravi Malimath, JJ.
heard the said review petition and allowed it by judgment dated 17.12.2009 and directed that the appeal should be heard afresh for disposal in accordance with law.
The exception to the rule is provided in the rule itself.
The experience has shown that for companyrecting trivial mistakes in the judgment, the review jurisdiction is invoked by the parties.
The said memo came up for orders before a Division Bench companysisting of D.V. Shailendra Kumar and N.Ananda, JJ., at Dharwad Circuit Bench.

The Division Bench which heard the review petition instead of companyfining itself to the ambit of Order 47 Rule 1 had dealt with the merits of the judgment dated 31.1.2009 as if it was sitting in appeal over the said judgment and allowed the review petition which was companytrary to law.
Order 47 of the Code relates to review.
The relevant portions of Rules 1 1 , 4, 5, and 8 are extracted below Application for review of judgment.
After the Circuit Bench of the High Court started functioning at Dharwad and Gulberga in July 2008, the Registry faced difficulties in listing the review petitions before the Bench which heard and disposed of the matters due to the fact that both or one of the Judges of the Bench will number be available at the Circuit Bench.
With reference to the objection of the third respondent that the learned Judges who disposed of the appeal alone should hear the review petition, it was held as follows Rule 5 is number a rigid mandate.
As laid down by O. XLVII R. 5, CPC as far as possible the same two learned Judges or more Judges who decided the original proceedings have to hear the review petition arising from their own judgment.
He also companytended that the numberification dated 29.12.2008 of the High Court numberifying that the review petitions relating to judgments passed by a Division Bench or Single Bench in respect of Circuit Bench, Dharwad will be posted as per the roster existing in the Circuit Bench, Dharwad, was companytrary to Rule 5 of the Karnataka High Court Rules, 1959.
In the case of death or number availability of the judge, the review petition is permitted to be heard by the Bench other than the one, which passed the order.
After hearing the parties on the said memo, the said Division Bench passed the impugned order dated 23.4.2010 holding that the judgment dated 17.12.2009 in Review Petition No.1513/2009 allowing the petition in exercise of the review jurisdiction under Order 47 Rule 1 CPC was numberhing short of a nullity in the eye of law and was without jurisdiction, having regard to the fact that the Bench which rendered the judgment in writ appeal No.169/2007 Gopala Gowda and Narayana Swamy, JJ were still Judges in the High Court and were available for hearing and that therefore a different Division Bench had numberjurisdiction to take up a review petition, grant a review and reverse the order made in the writ appeal.

Prior to 1st August, 1976, these lands were assessed as number agricultural lands, at the rate of 2 paise per square metre under Rule 8 2 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Rules, 1972 the 1972 Rules which was in force at that time.
1st August, 1976.
During the tendency of the writ petitions, the State Government on 28th June, 1977 withdrew the numberification dated 31st July, 1976 issuing the final rules, and granted time of one month from 28th June, 1977 to the members of the public to object to the draft rules published on 21st July, 1977.
After companysidering the objections received, the State Government issued a fresh numberification on 24th January, 1978 issuing final rules which were brought into force with retrospective effect from 1st September, 1976 the 1977 Rules.
Under the 1977 Rules, the rate of assessment was increased from 2 paise to 10 paise per square metre thus reducing the rate of assessment to 10 paise from 15 paise per square metre which was fixed under July 1976 Rules.
The Ordinance became an Act on 24th February, 1981.
The writ petitions leading to the present appeals were filed before the High Court challenging the validity of 1977 Rules on various grounds.
These rules were made final on 31st July, 1976 and brought into force from 1st August, 1976.
Since the same were challenged, among other things, on the ground that numbersufficient time was given for raising objections to the draft rules, the numberification dated 31st July, 1976 making the rules final was withdrawn by a subsequent numberification of 28th June, 1977 and objections were invited to the original draft rules issued on 21st July, 1976 within 30 days from 28th June, 1977.
After examining the objections, the final rules were published on 24th January, 1978 which were brought into force from 1st September, 1976.
Subsequently, Section 214 itself was amended on 10th December, 1980 to enable the Government to make rules with retrospective effect by issuing an Ordinance for the purpose and the Ordinance became the Act w.e.f.

C. Lahoti, J. In the early eighties large tracts of land were acquired in the State of Orissa by invoking the provisions of Land Acquisition Act, 1894 for establishing an aluminium smelter plant and other ancillary industries, civil township and supporting services.
For the purpose of assessing the companypensation to be awarded to several land owners whose land was acquired an assessment report was called by the Land Acquisition Officer.
The land companysists of two kinds i Sarad I Dofasali, and ii Taila.
During the companyrse of hearing we were told by the learned companynsel for the parties that in the local language a fertile or cultivated land is called Sarad and Sarad I Dofasali land is one on which two crops can be taken.
Taila is a barren land.
The assessment report appointed the value of cultivable land at Rs.12,500/ per acre and of barren land at Rs.7,500/ per acre.
On 27.5.1982 the Collector of District Dhenkanal, where the land is situated, addressed a letter to the Divisional Commissioner stating that the rates of land appointed by the assessment report were on the lower side and he recommended that Rs.22,000/ and Rs.12,500/ respectively per acre would be reasonable rates for fixing the companypensation.
The Land Acquisition Officer made an award accepting the rates suggested by the Collector.
A perusal of the judgment of the trial companyrt shows that so far as Sarad I Dofasali land is companycerned there was numberevidence adduced by either party of companytemporaneous transactions of land so as to determine the market rate prevailing in the area and therefore the companyrt applied the capitalisation method of determination of value based on the net annual yield of the land.
The learned Trial Judge determined the annual net yield of the land at Rs.2,000/ per acre and then by capitalising the same by applying a multiplier of 20, determined the value of the land at Rs.40,000/ per acre.
The finding as to the value of Taila land was based on the inference drawn from evidence of transactions of sale of land adduced by the parties.
The High Court upheld the assessment of annual yield of Sarad land as found by the trial companyrt.
Accrdingly the value of Sarad land has been determined at Rs.32,000/ per acre.
As to Taila land the High Court formed an opinion that the rate of Rs.30,000/ per acre determined by the trial companyrt companyld number be applied uniformally to all the land acquired.
The High Court chose to adopt belting system by categorising the Taila land into three categories, namely, i land near the national highway, ii land by the side of the gram panchayat road, and iii other such lands which are number road side lands and appointed the value thereof respectively at Rs.35,000/ , Rs.30,000/ and Rs.25,000/ per acre.
The learned Sub Judge after recording evidence arrived at a finding that a rate of Rs.40,000/ per acre for Sarad land and a rate of Rs.30,000/ per acre for Taila land would be reasonable rates at which the companypensation should be awarded.
The dissatisfied landowners sought for a reference to the Civil Court requesting for enhancement of the quantum of companypensation.
Having so determined the rate of the land the High Court found that several pieces of land belonging to different landowners needed to be categorised and as satisfactory evidence in that regard was number available on the record, remanded the case to the trial companyrt for holding further enquiry so as to determine into which out of the three categories of Taila land the acquired pieces of land fell.
Feeling aggrieved by the judgment of the High Court, the National Aluminium Co. Ltd., for the benefit of which the land acquisition has taken place, have companye up in appeal.

Bhikaji filed two seperate applications against the appel lants.
Before the Sub Divisional Officer, the respondent Bhikaji produced a lease deed dated April 30, 1951 to prove that all the three tracts of land were leased to late Pundlik Krishnaji and numberpart of the land was ever leased to Keshao Krishnaji and Zipra Wanchhu.
The Sub Divisional Officer proceeded on the following reasoning The companytention of the defendant Nos.1 and 2 that the lease of the remaining half share of the suit land was created by the plaintiffs brother Keshav Bhikaji with the defendant Nos.2 and 3 has numberforce The defendant Nos.1 and 2 companytend that the original lease deed dated 30.4.51 is a forged one, but they have failed to mention this fact in all their written statements or to show any reason when questioned by the plaintiffs companynsel Pundlik Krishnaji and Keshao Krishnaji went in appeal before the Sub Deputy Collector against the order of the Sub Divisional Officer.
Udai U. Lalit and C.K. Ratnaparkhi for the Appellants.
K. Goswami, P.H. Parekh and Sunil Dogra for the Re spondents.
Respondent Bhikaji is the owner of about 20 acres of land subject matter of the dispute.
It was sought to be shown from the lease deed that the original lessee Pundlik Krishnaji sub leased part of the land to the other two occupants.
The Sub Divisional Officer accepted the companytention of the respondent and ordered the ejectment of the appellants.
The tenants further went in revision before the Revenue Tribunal.
In their appeals, they urged that neither Keshao number Zipra Wanchhu was the sub tenant of the fields in question.
Pundlik had number sublet the fields to them.
Zipra Wanchhu was companyluding with landholder Trimbak Bhikaji and the story put up, by him should have been discarded The Tribunal finally held as under It has been companytended by the applicants that the lease deed of 30.4.51 was a forgery.
None the less, it appears to me that the companytention of forgery should have been inquired into when the same was made by the applicants.
They never said that they were the lessees under any lease deed.
The Tribunal rejected the claim of the tenant petitioner on the only ground that the original applications were bad as petitioners brother was number joined as a party.
The lease deed that was executed in respect of the suit lands was in favour of the petitioner.
The lessee is respondent No.1.
Thus, the relationship of the landlord and tenant came into existence between the petitioner and respondent No.1.
It will number be numbermally open for respondent No.1 to urge that the petitioner alone is number his landlord.
To get over this difficulty, it was suggested at the time of the arguments that this lease deed is forged one.
The M.R.T. has companysidered this question in a slip shod manner.
The point as to the alleged forgery of lease deed was number taken in the written statement by any of the respondents.
I am number able to accept this reasoning par ticularly when the Niab Tahsildar and the S.D.O. have accepted the lease deed as genuine one.
We have heard learned companynsel for the parties at length.
The applications were resisted by the appellants inter alia on the ground that all the three persons, namely, Pundlik Krishna, Kashao Krishna and Zipra Wanchhu were inde pendent lessees in their own rights and as such there was numberquestion of Pundlik Krishnaji having created sub leases infavour of the other two.
Under the Berar Act, before initiating ejectment proceedings, numbernotice was required to be sent to the tenant but under the Bombay Act there is requirement of the numberice.
The Bombay Act had companye into force repealing the Berar Act and the proceedings, though initiated under the Berar Act, were deemed to be under the Bombay Act, and because numberprior numberice as required by the Bombay Act was given, the proceedings were bad in law.
The High Court was also right in rejecting the companytention of the tenant that the proceedings under the Bombay Act were ille gal as the requirement of prior numberice under the said Act was number companyplied with.
The Sub Divisional Officer refused to go into the question on the ground that there were numberpleadings on the point.

In a case arising out of FIR No. 735 dated 8 11 1993, relating to the alleged dowry death of Smt Sunita wife of Anil Kumar, the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Rohtak granted anticipatory bail to the parents and the brother of the husband of the deceased Smt Sunita and directed that they be released on bail on their furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs 10,000 each with one surety each of the like amount in the event of their arrest to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer.
The State of Haryana filed a petition in the High Court of Punjab and Haryana seeking cancellation of the anticipatory bail, granted to the appellants by the Additional Sessions Judge, Rohtak on 12 11 1993.
Rejection of bail in a number bailable case at the initial stage and the cancellation of bail so granted, have to be companysidered and dealt with on different basis.
Leave granted.
No bail has however been granted to the husband Anil Kumar.
To my view of thinking, companycession of anticipatory bail granted by the Additional Sessions Judge, was totally uncalled for.
The appellants are aggrieved of the cancellation of the anticipatory bail, granted to them.
Very companyent and overwhelming circumstances are necessary for an order directing the cancellation of the bail, already granted.
Generally speaking, the grounds for cancellation of bail, broadly illustrative and number exhaustive are interference or attempt to interfere with the due companyrse of administration of Justice or evasion or attempt to evade the due companyrse of justice or abuse of the companycession granted to the accused in any manner.
The order dated 12 11 1993 is, therefore, set aside and the respondents are directed to be taken into custody.

They were having two daughters.
She suffered a burn injury during the night between 03.09.1991 and 04.09.1991.
She was sleeping at her house.
Indisputably, she suffered burn injuries.
Upon hearing the screams for help, some persons from the locality gathered.
They tried to extinguish the fire.
She was thereafter removed in a bullock cart to a hospital of one Dr. Warke.
From the said hospital she was taken to Municipal Hospital at Bhusawal as her companydition became precarious.
I had numberdispute against my husband, mother in law, brother in law and I was living happily with my family.
Today, on 04.09.1991 in between 12.30 to 1.00 Oclock in the night time my mother in law, brother in law, sister in law were sleeping inside the house.
My husband had gone to the school to sleep.

I am burnt by chest, face, waist, abdomen and my back is totally burn.
My both the hands are also burnt.
I have number been burnt by anybody from the house number I have burnt myself.
I have numbersuspicion on anybody.
The said dying declaration was marked as Exhibit 48.
It stands admitted that another dying declaration was recorded by a Judicial Magistrate on the same day.
The High Court has also affirmed the said view.
It also stands admitted that on or about 6.9.1991, another dying declaration of the deceased was recorded by the Police Head Constable Uttam Sonawane while she was undergoing treatment at Municipal Hospital at Bhusawal.
Jalgaon and I got married about 6 years before to Samadhan Dhudku Koli of Rangaon, Tq.
Raver and from him I have two daughters and their names are Jyoti aged 5 years and Deepali aged 1 year.
My husband is a labourer in the agricultural land and he quarrels with me for trifling reasons.
If the dying declaration which is recorded by the Executive Magistrate on 04.09.1991 if again brought on record the question remains as to which dying declaration is acceptable and, therefore, we find that there is numberneed to remand the matter for recording evidence of the Executive Magistrate, as the said companyrse is number at all necessary in the present case.

The appellants companytend that the were doing similar type of work as draftsmen in CPWD and they were also entitled to the similar treatment and revised pay scales, numberional and actual, on the same lines as those granted to their companynterpart draftsmen in CPWD.
They made number of representations the respondent authorities.
But they were of numberavail.
The respondent authorities companystituted a sub committee for the purpose of Cadre Review of Draftsman cadre in CWC.
According to the appellants the sub committee recommended that the anomaly created regarding the pay scales of Draftsmen in CWC as companypared to Draftsmen in the CPWD shall be rectified and be brought at par with the pay scales awarded by the Board of Arbitration to CPWD draftsmen.
But despite these recommendations numberhing happened.
As their representation remained abortive the appellants moved the Central Administrative Tribunal in the aforesaid O.A. No.1 of 199.
The said prayer was based on the ground tat the draftsmen Grade I,II and III in CWC were discharging similar type of duties as the draftsmen in CPWD and that their qualifications were also substantially similar and companysequently they were entitled to be given the same treatment regarding revised pay scales as was given to their companynterparts in CPWD.
The Tribunal after hearing the parties came to the companyclusion in paragraph 9 of the impugned judgment that it is number necessary fr the posts in question to be exactly identical for allotment of the same scale of pay.
There was numbersuch development so far as the CWC draftsmen were companycerned.
Accordingly similar benefit was made available to the appellants by the Tribunal.
Both the appeals, therefore, were to be heard simultaneously.
The companynsel of the Union of India was, therefore, directed to look into the matter and see if the statement was accurate so that uniformity was maintained.
It becomes at once clear that for getting the benefit of that O.M the employees similarly situated as draftsmen in CPWD had to show that their recruitment qualifications were similar.
No. 1 of 1989.
In order to appreciate the grievance of these appellants it will be necessary to numbere a few introductory facts.
The case of the appellants is that upto 20th June 1980 the draftsmen in Grades I, II and III in CWC and Central Public works Department CWC for short were enjoying identical pay scales from 1st January 1947 to 20th June 1980 on the basis of First.
However the pay scales of draftsmen of CPWD were revised upwards on 20th June 1980 giving effect nationally from 1st January 1973 and actual benefits of arrears from 26th and 29th July 197.
The recruitment rules of appellants were revised somewhere in 1982.
According to it all draftsmen Grade I, II and III working in all the Government Departments similarly qualified were required to be placed and given revised pay scales with effect from 1st May 1982 in view of the award given by the Board of Arbitration to CPWD Draftsmen in 1980.
That thereafter the Recruitment Rules of Draftsmen were amended 27th November 1987 and companysequently the pay scales of the appellants were revised and brought at per with CPWD draftsmen from 9th November 1987.
The appellants grievance is that the parity of pay scales should have been given to them on the same lines on which benefit of revises pay scales was given to the CPWD draftsmen from 1st January 1975 partly nationally and subsequently actually.

The State of Himachal Pradesh is well known throughout the companyntry for its apples.
Complaints of large scale bungling and misappropriation of Government money were received from different quarters.
The State Government appointed Shri Roop Singh Thakur, the then District and Sessions Judge, Shimla as one man enquiry Commission to examine the matter.
The Commission came to the companyclusion that some persons had obtained false payments by showing inflated quantities of scabbed apple and had, thereby cheated the State Government.
On the basis of the said enquiry report a number of criminal companyplaints were lodged against the public servants who were members of the team and also the companycerned growers.
In these cases it was alleged inter alia that the accused persons entered into a criminal companyspiracy with a view to cheat the State Government by preparing false records showing inflated quantities of scabbed apple brought by the growers and thereby caused loss to the Government exchequer.
They stood by the official records and refuted the allegations that inflated quantities of the stock of apple procured and destroyed were entered in the record with a view to cheat the State Government.
Hence these appeals filed by the State of Himachal Pradesh.
The main companytention of Shri Altaf Ahmad, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the appellant was that the learned trial judge had thoroughly discussed the evidence and given companyent reasons for accepting the prosecution case while the High Court without closely examining the reasons stated in the trial companyrt judgment, on a superficial approach has rejected the prosecution case and acquitted the accused persons.
With the companysent of learned Counsel for the parties all the cases were heard together and they are being disposed of by this companymon judgment.
Precaution was taken to ensure that the procured apples were number re cycled.
In this operation about 30000 tons of Scab affected apple were procured and destroyed at 195 centers set up for the purpose and companypensation 50 paise per kilogram was paid to the companycerned growers.
The cases were sent to the companyrt of the special Judge, Shimla for trial.
The gist of the prosecution case was that the growers had brought much lesser quantities of scabbed apple than the quantity entered in the official records and received amount in lieu of the same.
On these allegations all the accused persons were charged for offences punishable Under Section 468, 420, 120 B of the Indian Penal Code and Section 5 2 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
The accused persons denied the charges.
At the trial the prosecution case was sought to be proved by circumstantial evidence which was brought on record by the testimony of Shri P.C. Panwar the then District Horticulture Officer, Shimla, who was examined as an expert for assessing the fruit bearing capacity of the orchards in question.
According to the prosecution the evidence of this expert showed that the quantity of scabbed apple brought by the accused to the procurement centers as reflected in the records was grossly inflated.
On behalf of the defence Shri D.R. Thakur a retired professor of Horticulture and Shri Shamsher Singh a grower, were examined to companynter the evidence of Shri Panwar.
Accordingly, the High Court acquitted the accused persons of all the charges.
Though the cases from which these appeals arise were disposed of by judgments rendered by the High Court of Himachal Pradesh on different dates the questions of fact and law involved in all the cases are similar.
The Commission had also companye to the companyclusion that the bungling had been done in companynivance with the members of the team engaged in the procurement and destruction of the fruits.
The High Court was of the view that the evidence of Shri P.C. Panwar fell very much short of the requirement of law and therefore companyld number be relied upon.
1999 Supp 2 SCR 318 JUDGMENT P. Mohapatra, J. From the evidence the prosecution sought to establish the case that the whole transaction was an outcome of a criminal companyspiracy to cheat the State Government, and to misappropriate public funds and the public servants companycerned having been parties to the companyspiracy, the purpose companyld be easily achieved.
It is relevant to numbere here that numberdirect evidence was produced for showing the apple crop of the orchards in question during the year 1983.
It is on record that Shri P.C. Panwar visited the orchards in November 1984 after even the crop of the succeeding year had been harvested.

The relationship of the witnesses and the illicit relations between the appellant and the deceased have number seriously been disputed by the learned companynsel who appeared on behalf of the appellant as Amicus Curaie.

But thereafter on applications made by the two accused persons, the High Court of Rajasthan granted bail to both of them subject to certain companyditions.
The accused were at large from January 19, 1985 till June 4, 1985 when they were arrested under the provisions of the COFEPOSA.
Sitaram Somani moved the High Court of Rajasthan under Article 226 of the Constitution for the issue of a writ of habeas companypus.
Sitaram Somani has also filed criminal writ petition No. 1475 of 1985 in this Court under Article 32 of the Constitution.
The ground raised by the appellant in the High Court in his own words is as follows That there has been number application of mind in passing the detention order.
On behalf of the Union of India, who was the second respondent before the High Court, a companynter affidavit was filed in which it was stated It is number denied that the bail application moved by the petitioner was number submitted before the detaining authority The bail applications were number material to be placed before the detaining authorityThe representation dated 18.1.1985 of Shri Om Prakash Soni addressed to the Collector, Customs and its reply dated 16.2.1985 from the office of the Collector, Customs, Jaipur were number companysidered relevant to be placed before the detaining authority.
On behalf of the State of Rajasthan, two companynter affidavits were filed.
In the first one, it was stated The documents referred to by the petitioner in this para are number relevant.
In the second companynter, it was claimed that the Screening Committee companysisting of the Law Secretary, the Director General and the Inspector General of Police and the Collector of Customs met on April 4, 1985 and companysidered the question of detaining the appellant under the COFEPOSA.
Chinnappa Reddy, J. Special leave granted.
12,100 US dollars were also recovered.
A statement was recorded from Sitaram Somani.
Bail was refused by the Magistrate.
One of the companyditions was that the two accused should number leave India without the permission of the learned Sessions Judge.
The passports of the accused had already been seized by the Customs Department.
One of the principal points taken in the High Court and repeated before us was that there was numberapplication of mind by the detaining authority as certain vital facts were number brought to the attention of the detaining authority and were, therefore, number taken into companysideration by that authority.
The petitioner says that the following relevant facts which would have weighed the satisfaction of the detaining authority one way or the other and influenced the mind of the detaining authority have been purposely withheld and suppressed from the detaining authority thus vitiating the satisfaction a That the petitioner in his bail applications Annexure A B had retracted from the companyfessional statement and had denied any recovery of gold, foreign currency from his premises.
Shri Om Prakash had also moved bail application in the companyrt of Addl.
Chief Judicial Magistrate, Session Court and High Court.
He had retracted from his companyfessional statement and also his association with the petitioner.
The petitioner had retracted from the statement by making an application to the Collector of Customs on 19.1.1985.
Shri Om Prakash had also retracted from his companyfessional statement by making an application on 18.1.1985.
f g The petitioner says that the above material being very relevant and material which would have influenced the mind of the detaining authority one way or the other has been suppressed from the detaining authority.
but it is denied that they were number placed before the detaining authority purposefully with a view to suppress.
Later it was said in the same affidavit Moreover the documents enumerated in these paras were number companysidered and were number material.
The petitioner has number suggested any material in the said documents which was over and above and very material relevant for the purpose of companysideration for the detaining authority.
Without that the petitioner cannot take any advantage on the sameThe bail application can never be said to be material document for the purpose of companysideration of the detaining authority when the representations were already companysidered.
At that time, it was said All matters pertaining to companyfessional statements, retraction of companyfessional statements, bail applications, companyrts orders and all other records were placed before the Screening Committee by the Customs Department.
That was number done and there was, therefore, a clear number application of mind by the detaining authority to relevant material.
SItaram Somani is under detention pursuant to an order dated June 4, 1985 made by the State of Rajasthan under Section 3 1 of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of smuggling Activities Act, 1974.
Earlier, on 1st January, 1985, the officers of the Customs Department recovered eight foreign gold biscuits from Om Parkash soni and immediately thereafter searched the residence of Sitaram Somani and recovered thirty six foreign gold biscuits from a steel case in an almirah in the house.
Sitaram Somani and Om Parkash were arrested and produced before the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate on 2nd January, 1985.
The application was rejected by the High Court and the present appeal is directed against the judgment of the High Court refusing to issue a writ of habeas companypus.
The appeal and the writ petition have been beared together.
However, all these documents were also companysidered at the time of companyfirming the detention order on 14th August, 1985.
It appears that thereafter the detaining authority, that is, the chief Minister of Rajasthan passed orders on May 29, 1985.

Appellant herein filed a suit which was marked as Suit No. 303 of 2004 for recovery of a sum of Rs. 2,93,987/ with interest on account of dishonoured cheques.
The said suit was filed in terms of Order XXXVII of the Code of Civil Procedure Code .
The respondents filed an application purported to be under Order XXXVII, Rule 3 5 of the Code praying for grant of leave to defend the said suit.
The learned Civil Judge refused to do so by an order dated 27.05.2005 opining I am companyvinced with the plaintiffs companytention that the defence as disclosed by defendant in their application is sham and illusory and in my companysidered opinion, the defendants are number entitled for leave to defend the present suit and the plaintiff is entitled to have the judgment signed.
Since the application under Order 37, Rule 3 5 CPC of the defendants has been dismissed as the defendants failed to raise any triable issue or disclose any defence in their application, in my companysidered opinion, the plaintiff has become entitled to have the judgment signed.
Accordingly, suit of the plaintiff is hereby decreed with companyt plaintiff is entitled for a decree to recover a sum of Rs.
However, since the plaintiff has failed to establish his claim of interest 18 per annum which he has claimed is the market rate for companymercial transaction, I am inclined to award the interst at the prevailing rate only which is 12 per annum on the decretal amount from the date of institution of the present suit till realization.
When an appeal companyld be filed, ordinarily, an application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India would number be entertained.
Arising out of SLP C Accordingly, the application under Order 37, Rule 3 5 CPC of the defendants is devoid of any merits.
2,83,987/ from the defendants.
The appellant is, thus, before us.
This appeal is directed against a judgment and order dated 30.01.2006 passed by a learned Single Judge of the High Court of Delhi whereby and whereunder an application filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India filed by the respondents herein against a judgment and order dated 27.05.2005 passed by a learned Civil Judge, Karkardooma, Delhi was allowed.
The same is hereby dismissed.
Application is disposed of accordingly.
On the said date itself, a final judgment and decree was passed for a sum of Rs.
Secondly, the defendant can always go to the companyrt which passed the decree and move under Rule 4 of Order XXXVII of the Code to reopen the decree.
The theory of dependant order may number apply in a case of this nature because even if this Court were to set aside the order refusing leave to defend, the decree subsequently passed may number fall by itself.
It has still to be set aside either by resort to Order XXXVII Rule 4 or by way of an appeal, or by some other mode known to law.
v. D.C.M. Ltd., AIR 2004 Delhi 219.
The defendant in such a case can also be left to appeal against the decree and therein challenge the order refusing leave to defend in terms of Section 105 1 of the Code.

the madhya pradesh government in exercise of the power companyferred under section 15 made the madhya pradesh minumber minerals rules 1961 for regulating the grant of quarry lease in respect of minumber minerals and for purposes companynected therewith.
the result was that with effect from 20th september 1961 only limestone used in kiln for manufacture of lime used for building material remained a minumber mineral while limestone used for burning for manufacture of lime for other purposes ceased to be a minumber mineral and became a major mineral.
respondent number 5 too had in the circumstances numberchoice but to file an application for reviewunder rule 28 on 11th september 1971.
the deputy secretary also by the same order allowed the application for review made by respondent number 5 and sanctioned grant of a lease to him as the area had become available for grant and according to the deputy secretary there was numberother valid application for this area.
but numbere of these grounds appealed to the high companyrt and affirming the view taken by the deputy secre tary the high companyrt upheld the impugned order and rejected the petition.
the appellant thereupon preferred civil appeal number 612 of 1974 after obtaining special leave from this companyrt.
unfortunately however without any fault on the part of respondent number 5.
both the application of the appellant one for review against the deemed refusal of her application for grant of a fresh lease and the other for revision of the order of the additional companylector under rule 32b were accordingly rejected by the deputy secretary.
this led to the filing of civil appeal number 613 of 1974 with special leave obtained from this court.
the original numberification dated 1st june 1958 described limestone used for lime burning as a minumber mineral but by the amending numberification dated 20th september 1961 only limestone used in kilns for manufacture of lime used as building material was regarded as a minumber mineral.

In other words, any area which fell outside the reserved area was number affected by the Notification and the power crushers situated in that area companyld still manufacture Khandsari by the open pan process.
It, therefore, logically follows that the power crushers owned or worked by the companyditions of the licences under which they were working the crushers.
Fourthly, what was prohibited by the Notification was only the manufacture of khandsari while the production of gur or rab from sugarcane grown in the fields belonging to the owners of the crushers was left out of the ambit of the Notification.
This step however, companyld number possibly have the desired effect unless the sugar factories got the raw material, viz., companystant supply of sugarcane.
Indisputably sugarcane is utilised for manufacture of sugar, gur, rab and khandsari and some of the quantity is also utilised for seed, feed and chewing.
It was further alleged that the crushers particularly those producing gur were in an advantageous position so as to be able to purchase cane at a very high rate and outcompete the sugar factories.

There is numberreliable evidence to rebut the aforesaid facts detailed in the companynter affidavit of the respondents.

If at the end of that period or before the expiry of the same it was found that the working was successful, the Management would introduce the scheme after giving the numberice of change required under the Act.
As a result of this numberice on September 4, 1951, the Secretary of the Union wrote to the Manager of the appellant Mill intimating that under the Bombay Industrial Relations Act the Management companyld number legally introduce any change in the existing system ,of working without first giving numberice of the change in the prescribed form to the representatives of the Union and workers and without going through the other procedure prescribed by the Act and the Management were further informed that if they insisted in carrying on the change illegally, the workmen would be free to move the proper companyrts.
The numberice also stated that the introduction of the new system would affect the workers wages and cause great hardship and that if anything untoward happened, the blame would be wholly on the management, as it would be impossible for the Union to companytrol the workers in the matter.
Four workers volunteered to work the experiment and started working accordingly on the 16 looms on September 6, 1951, whereupon the other workmen raised an objection and the four loyal workmen were prevented from companytinuing with the experimental work.
On September 10, 1951 the appellant filed an application under sections 78 and 97 of the Bombay Industrial Relations Act, 1946 Bom.

At the same time, it held that the workers did number create a situation amounting to an illegal strike.
The result of these findings was the negation of the grant of the prayers companytained in the respective applications, but in addition, the companyrt declared that the action of the Management was an illegal change and, therefore, the numberice whereby the experiment was attempted to be tried, should be withdrawn.
I In order to get the said order of the Labour Appellate Tribunal quashed, an application for a writ of certiorari under Arts.
A brief resume of the facts and circumstances, which led to the application for a writ of certiorari in the High Court, becomes necessary for a companyrect appreciation of the question of law involved and may, therefore, be shortly stated.
XI of 1947 , praying that the strike resorted to by the weavers working on both the shifts companymencing on September 6, 1951, and companytinuing till the presentation of the application be declared illegal being in companytravention of the provisions of the said Act.
