APEX COURT DIGEST - Jan.2017 [7]

Motor Accidents Claim - Tribunal conducted trial but return the claim petition to present in proper Tribunal feeling that it has no jurisdiction - The appellants filed review  petition  against  that
order which was also dismissed vide orders dated 10.04.2013.- Challenging this order,  the  appellants  filed  petition  under Article 227 of the Constitution in the High  Court  of  Calcutta  which  has
been dismissed by the High Court on the ground of delays and laches  stating that though MACT had dismissed the review petition of  the  appellants  vide orders dated 10.04.2013, revisional application challenging that  order  was filed only on 03.03.2015 after a delay of almost 2 years. - Apex court held that  It is  an  admitted  position  in  law  that  no  limitation  is prescribed for filing application under Article  227  of  the  Constitution - but  supposed to file  the same without unreasonable delay and if there is a delay that should be  duly and satisfactorily explained. - but  the High Court has dismissed  the  said  petition  by  observing  that though there is  no  statutory  period  of  limitation  prescribed,  such  a petition should be filed within a period of  limitation  as  prescribed  for
applications under Sections 115  of  the  Code  of  Civil  Procedure. -  This approach of the High Court cannot be countenanced.  -   in the absence of any limitation period, if the petition  is  filed  with  some delay but at the same time, the petitioner  gives  satisfactory  explanation
thereof, the petition should be entertained on merits. - Apex court on the consent of both parties fixed the compensation at 8 lakhs as no compensation was paid to the wife and children even after 91/2 years of accident.

Or.39, rule 7 of C.P.C - Petition for preservation of properties belongs to the petitioner - as the Govt. is going to demolish the building in road widening scheme - Or.39, rule 1 made absolute against the petitioner infavour of the respondent - Trial court allowed the Petition wrongly - their lordships held that In a suit for injunction, though the question of possession as on the date of filing of the suit is most relevant, there may be other ancillary and incidental questions as to the conduct of the parties before the Court. The concept of possession in law should take in its spectrum all rights, liabilities, immunities and claims vis-`-vis the property which is said to be in possession. When the Court recorded a prima facie finding that Gayatri bai is in possession, she was also in law entitled to take advantage of that presumption. Unless the defendant properly pleads and proves at the earliest stage regarding any such movables or immovables attached to the immovable property, no defendant can be heard of saying that his belongings were lying in the disputed property. - 2015 A.P.(2001) MSKLAWREPORTS
