Appeal U/S 374 of Code of Criminal Procedure Code

FACTS IN BRIEF

1) The respondent No.1 had filed S.C.C. 25/95 against the respondent No.2 as accused No.1 and present appellants as accused No. 2 and 3 U/S 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act.

2) It was the contention of complainant that the respondent No. 2 was to make payment to the complainant under a Hire Purchase Agreement towards which a cheque of Rs.65,000/- was issued to the complaint, which on presentation got dishonored on 25/10/94 for reasons “referred to drawer” and complainants Bank informed complainant on 10/11/94 and thereafter, the notice of demand was issued on 12/11/94 and stated to be received on 19/11/94 but not complied within 15 days of receipt.

3) As per the complaint, the cause of action arose on 5/12/94 and the complaint was filed on 4/1/95.

4) The accused after receiving summons appeared in the matter and gave bail. Thereafter, the evidence was recorded in the matter and learned J.M.F.C 13TH Joint Civil Judge Senior Division, Pune by Judgment and Order dtd 29/1/08 convicted the appellants and gave simple imprisonment of three-months and fine of Rs. 1,30,000/-. Being aggrieved and dissatisfied by the judgment and order dtd. 29/1/08 passed by 13th Joint Civil Judge Senior Division and J.M.F.C Pune in S.C.C no. 25/95. The appellant prefers present appeal on following amongst other grounds which are without prejudice to each other.

GROUNDS :

The impugned order is contrary to law and facts on record.

The learned Trial Court has not appreciated the evidence in proper sense and has not applied the legal provisions in proper manner.

The learned Trial Court has passed the judgment and order mechanically and without application of mind.

It ought to have been seen that, the notice period of 15 days expired on 4/12/1994 and the statutory period of 30 days for filing complaint expired on 3/1/95, and therefore, the complaint filed on 4/1/95 was beyond limitation.

It ought to have been seen that in the complaint it was alleged that the Hire purchase agreement made between complainant and accused No. 1 to 3 where as in the deposition it was stated that the loan advances / hire purchase finance was provided to the members of the accused No. 1 society.

It ought to have been seen that there are many statements in the deposition of the Complainant which were not existing in complaint. Thus, the complainant had made substantial improvements in his case while giving the depositions.

It ought to have been seen that, the complainant for first time during depositions had submitted that, accused No. 1 through accused No. 2 and 3 agreed to pay monthly Hire purchase charges due under the so-called agreement.

It ought to have been seen that, the so called agreement on which complainant relied had never come before the court.

It ought to have been seen that the contention regarding collection of hire charges / installment from members by accused No. 1 to 3 and the failure to pay the same to the complainant was first time taken during the deposition of complainant.

It ought to have been seen that the contention regarding collection of hire charges / installment from members by accused No. 1 to 3 and the failure to pay the same to the complainant was not proved by the complainant.

It ought to have been seen that as per the own contention of complainant the amount of Rs. 2,23,064/- was the amount of future installments which were in fact payable by the members of the accused No.1 who had taken the loan from Complainant and not by the accused No. 1 to 3.

It ought to have seen that so called letter of acceptance of liability dtd 5/5/93 has not been duly proved by the complainant.

It ought to have been seen that the complainant for first time during deposition had stated that, the appellants were looking after the day to day matters and conducts of the accused No. 1. No such statement was made in the notice as well as in the complaint.

It ought to have been seen that, the statement of account submitted by complainant is not proper, correct and not duly proved.

It ought to have been seen that, the cheques were issued toward security.

It ought to have been seen that, the role and liability of the accused No. 1 and consequently that of accused no. 2 & 3 in the transaction between complainant and the members of accused No. 1 was limited and conditional.

It ought to have been seen that the complainant has not brought the real transaction before the court.

It ought to have been seen that, the complainant could not prove the liability of the accused No. 1 society and consequently that of accused no. 2 &3.

It ought to have been seen that the learned trial court has wrongly interpreted statement of Accused No. 2 about the records of society as an admission of liability and has heavily relied upon the same.

The learned trial court has over looked the basic principals of criminal justice.

The learned Trial court has used incorrect criteria for evaluating the evidence in criminal trial.

It ought have been seen that, the complainant had failed to prove its case on its evidence beyond reasonable doubt.

The learned trial court has proceeded by considering the presumption of law as final proof despite there being substantial evidence of rebuttal.

The learned trial court has totally disbelieved the accused and has accepted the complainant’s statement as Gospel truth, without there being any corroborative evidence for the same.

The learned trial court had proceeded with the case even when the advocate for accused were absent.

It is submitted that appellants were wrongly advised by their advocate about the their defense, and therefore, the vital facts in relation to substantial ground of defence available U/S 141 Negotiable instruments Act could not be brought on record. Thus, the appellants, due to improper advice of their counsel, have suffered heavy loss as they could not take a valid defence because some important facts could not be brought on record.

It is submitted that the appellants had exercised all due diligence to prevent commission of offence, and therefore, they were not liable to punishment.

It is submitted that the accused No. 2 and 3 were holding the membership consequently the post as chairman and secretary by virtue of they being employees of Indian Railways.

It ought to have been seen that, as per own showing of the Complainant the entire amount for which the cheque were issued has been received by the complainant.

It is submitted that out of 25 cases filed by the complainant for the cheques issued for the same alleged transaction/ liability 17 had been withdrawn, however, the complainant by falsely calculating interest, contrary to the norms of R.B.I., showed exorbitant outstanding amount and did not withdraw the remaining complaints. Thus it is clear that the complainant has abused the court process and court machinery for satisfying its illegal demands.

The impugned judgment and order is otherwise illegal and materially irregular which has resulted which has resulted in miscarriage of justice to these appellants, and hence the present appeal.

The judgment passed on 29/1/08. The appellant received certified copies on 29/1/08. The present appeal filed today is within limitation.

5. It is therefore prayed that :

The record and proceeding of the S.C.C. no.25/ 95 be called from the 13th Joint Civil Judge Senior Division and J.M.F.C, Pune.
Present appeal may kindly be allowed and judgment and order passed by 13th Joint Civil Judge Senior Division and J.M.F.C, Pune on 29/1/2008 in S.C.C. no. 25/95 be quashed and set aside and the appellants be acquitted.
Alternatively the present appeal be allowed and matter may kindly be remanded back to the trial court i.e. 13th Joint Civil Judge Senior Division and J.M.F.C., Pune for de Novo trial in order to bring on record the relevant facts vital to the case relating to the defence of the accused.
The appellants be allowed to produce evidence in the present appeal.
The appellant may kindly be permitted to amend, add to the grounds or to agitate grounds not specifically mentioned in the appeal.
Pending hearing and final disposal of present appeal, the judgment and order passed by 13th Joint Civil Judge Senior Division and J.M.F.C in S.C.C. No. 25/ 95 on 29/1/08 may kindly be suspended.
e) Any other just and appropriate order be passed in the interest of justice and equity.

It ought to have been seen that the learned trial court has wrongly interpreted statement of Accused No. 2 about the records of society as an admission of liability and has heavily relied upon the same.

The learned trial court has over looked the basic principals of criminal justice.

The learned Trial court has used incorrect criteria for evaluating the evidence in criminal trial.

It ought have been seen that, the complainant had failed to prove its case on its evidence beyond reasonable doubt.

The learned trial court has proceeded by considering the presumption of law as final proof despite there being substantial evidence of rebuttal.

The learned trial court has totally disbelieved the accused and has accepted the complainant’s statement as Gospel truth, without there being any corroborative evidence for the same.

The learned trial court had proceeded with the case even when the advocate for accused were absent.

It is submitted that appellants were wrongly advised by their advocate about the their defense, and therefore, the vital facts in relation to substantial ground of defence available U/S 141 Negotiable instruments Act could not be brought on record. Thus, the appellants, due to improper advice of their counsel, have suffered heavy loss as they could not take a valid defence because some important facts could not be brought on record.

It is submitted that the appellants had exercised all due diligence to prevent commission of offence, and therefore, they were not liable to punishment.

It is submitted that the accused No. 2 and 3 were holding the membership consequently the post as chairman and secretary by virtue of they being employees of Indian Railways.

It ought to have been seen that, as per own showing of the Complainant the entire amount for which the cheque were issued has been received by the complainant.

It is submitted that out of 25 cases filed by the complainant for the cheques issued for the same alleged transaction/ liability 17 had been withdrawn, however, the complainant by falsely calculating interest, contrary to the norms of R.B.I., showed exorbitant outstanding amount and did not withdraw the remaining complaints. Thus it is clear that the complainant has abused the court process and court machinery for satisfying its illegal demands.

The impugned judgment and order is otherwise illegal and materially irregular which has resulted which has resulted in miscarriage of justice to these appellants, and hence the present appeal.

The judgment passed on 29/1/08. The appellant received certified copies on 29/1/08. The present appeal filed today is within limitation.

5. It is therefore prayed that :

The record and proceeding of the S.C.C. no. 1781/ 95 be called from the 13th Joint Civil Judge Senior Division and J.M.F.C, Pune.
Present appeal may kindly be allowed and judgment and order passed by 13th Joint Civil Judge Senior Division and J.M.F.C, Pune on 29/1/2008 in S.C.C. no. 1781/95 be quashed and set aside and the appellants be acquitted.

IN THE COURT OF THE HON’BLE SECRETARY,
CO-OPERATIVE DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF MAHARASHTRA, MANTRALAYA, MUMBAI AT MUMBAI.

Revision Application No. /2008



Mrs. Urmila Hukumchand Bhalani …. Applicant

V/S

Divisional Joint Registrar
and others. …. Opponents


Written argument on behalf of the applicant is as follows :

1) The applicant is not member of the opponent No. 2 and has not taken any loan from opponent No.2.The opponent No. 2 have alleged that, applicant has taken loan towards the purchase of Television and refrigerator from it’s sister concern consumer Co-Operative society Barloni Tal.-Madha, Dist-Solapur. However the applicant has purchased the television set and refrigerator by cash and he is in receipt of cash payment. Therefore it is wrong to say that applicant has taken the loan for the purpose shown by the opponent No.2. Therefore it is clear that the opponent No.2 failed to plead and prove the correct nature of transaction and the purpose of alleged loan. Further more, as per law the opponent No.2 is not entitled to run such consumer society to sell to non-members without Registrar’s permission. This version is given by the apex court in –


Amravati Town Co-Op erective society.

V/S

Rangrao Wakode 1971, CTD 19

Held : Credit Society running fair price shop can not be allowed to sell to non-members without Registrar’s permission, manager of society allowing the same is responsible.

However both of the lower courts have ignored this legal position.

2) The opponent No.3 A.R.C. Madha have not followed the principal of natural justice, the procedure laid down by law and various directions given by the government of Maharasthra time to time. The issuance of notice to the borrower before issuing Recovery certificate U/S. 101 of the M.C.S Act is the mandatory provision and the A.R.C. Madha ought to have issued notice to the applicant. However the A.R.C. Madha have not issued any notice and directly issued the alleged Recovery certificate U/S. 101 of the M.C.S. Act. This position is ignored by the opponent No. 1.
The A.R.C. Madha is the quasi-judicial authority who should have followed the principal of natural justice. This aspect is very clear from the ‘Roznama’ and the other certified copies of the proceeding before the A.R.C. Madha in this regard. Therefore such Ex-parte order ought to have been set-aside by the opponent No. 1, but very un-fortunately the opponent No. 1 neither gone into the merits of matter, nor gone through the record produced but blindly without a single reason came to conclusion and passed the impugned order. It was the honors duty of the opponent No.1 to see that whether the A.R.C. Madha have followed the procedure, principle of Natural justice, and whether he has issued notice before issuance of Recovery certificate U/S 101 of M.C.S. Act. Therefore both the lower courts have not whispered a single word about the issuance of notice before issuance of Recovery certificate in their orders. Therefore such order, such issuance of Recovery certificate U/S 101 of M.C.S. Act is bad in law, illegal, void and liable to set-aside. I have given below various rulings of the High-Courts and Supreme Court in which the Hon’ble Courts have quashed the issuance of Recovery certificate U/S 101 of M.C.S. Act without prior notice.


I) Ramchand

V/S

The Collector, Nagpur
72, Bom LR 666

Held : A certificate issued without any enquiry will be quashed.


II) Eknath Narhar Joshi

V/S

Shirwade Wani Vividh Karyakari
Sewa Sahakari Society Ltd. 1990 CTJ 659.

Held : Certificate obtained by society was not acceptable and not consistent with the provision of law. The dispute is maintainable and society is restrained from recovering any dues on the basis of certificate under Sec. 101 of the Act.


III) Ghosarwad V.K.S. Sahakari Society

V/S

Javanappa Bhujanga Basawade and others
1970 CTD 80

Held : The officer exercising Power under Sec. 101 of the Act must hold an enquiry after issuing notice to the defaulter against whom certificate of recovery is claimed, which postulates application of mind to the facts of case and adjudication of correctness of otherwise of the preferred claim.


IV) Ramkrishna

V/s

District Deputy Registrar 1970 MHLJ Note 25

Held : A certificate issued without notice and without any enquiry is liable to be quashed.

3) Therefore considering the above case-laws it is very clear that the law puts mandate of notice to the borrower before any enquiry and issuance of certificate under the Act. This aspect is very well explained in administrative law in ‘Rule of audi-atteram partem’ that it is the right of the person to have a chance of hearing to give his statement before initiating any action against him, therefore the notice is the preliminary action, which provides basis to the whole legal action and in absence of notice any order passed by any authority including judicial as well as quasi-judicial such order is the Ex-parte order and such Ex-Parte order without a chance of hearing to the borrower vitiate the whole proceeding and defeat the vary object of law and legal action.

4) The S. 137 of the M.C.S Act is also made mandatory on the courts to follow the principal of natural justice.

It states that : Rules of Natural Justice should be observed before a certificate is issued.

5) Further more the circular of the commissioner for Co-Operation Government of Maharashtra also made it obligatory on the part of Registrar to issue notice by Register Post Acknowledgement Due to the borrower prior to issuance of certificate. U/S – 101 of the Act.


Therefore in the present case the A.R.C Madha :-

Have not issued any notice to the applicant before issuance of certificate under Sec-101 of the Act.
Have not made any enquiry before issuance of the alleged certificate.
Have not followed the principal of Natural Justice, the procedure laid down by law, rulings of the apex courts and even circular of the Government of Maharashtra.

6) The opponent No. 1 has passed the impugned order without a single reason. It is well settled law that any order by the judicial or quasi-judicial body must be with reasons, sufficient to provide basis to the order. The principle of ‘Reasonable order’ is not followed in the present case by the opponent No.1 and on this count also the order of the opponent No.1 is liable to be quashed. This thing is crystal clear from the bare perusal of the order of the opponent No.1. In that impugned order the opponent No.1 has not given any single reason that, how he came to the conclusion that proper chance of hearing is given to the applicant by the A.R.C. Madha. Therefore the impugned order of the opponent No.1 lacks sufficient reason and hence liable to be set aside.

7) In the impugned order the opponent No. 1 says only that, “after going through the documents I have came to conclusion” but he has not mentioned which documents he perused? What contents are there in those documents which caused the opponent No.1 to arrive at the particular decision? The opponent No.1 have not given any reason to the conclusion that, sufficient opportunity is being given to the applicant by the A.R.C. Madha, but mere words are there in his impugned order and not a single reason given by the opponent No.1 so as to say that, the order passed by the opponent No.1 is the reasonable order. Therefore the rights of the applicant are jeopardized due to the impugned order of the opponent No.1 and therefore the said impugned order of the opponent No.1 dt. 15/10/2007 is liable to be quashed in the interest of justice.

V/S

1. State of Maharashtra
represented by the collector Pune
2. Special Land Acquisition officer
No. 18,
Having its office at collector’s
Office compound, Pune 411 001 ---- Defendants


The Plaintiff above named most respectfully submits as follows :

1) The Plaintiff is the owner of the land bearing survey No. 235/A, Lohagaon, which is more particularly described in the schedule hereunder written. The Plaintiff is producing the 7/12 extract of the said property at Sr. No. 1 along with the suit. The property which is more particularly described in the schedule appearing at the bottom of the plaint shall be referred to as the ‘Suit Property’ for the sake of brevity.

2. The Plaintiff states that initially, the suit property was requisitioned by the Government in the year 1958 or thereabout under the Defence of India Rules, for Defence purposes. The requisition continued up to the year 1973. Thereafter, by an order dated 26/2/1973, the Collector, Pune, directed that various lands, inter-alia the land bearing Survey No. 235/A, i.e. the suit property were no longer required for the purpose for which they were requisitioned. The said order was bearing No. MIL 573. The Plaintiff is producing the said order at Sr. No. 2, along with the plaint. As a result of this order, the suit land was de-requisitioned.

3) The Plaintiff submits that in furtherance of the order referred to above, Defendant No. 1, informed the Plaintiff vide a letter to take possession of the suit property. The plaintiff has produced the said letter at Sr. No. 3 along with the Plaint.

4) It is contended by the Plaintiff that on 7/9/1976, the Defendant No. 1 put the Plaintiff in actual physical possession.

5) The Plaintiff states since then the Plaintiff is in actual physical possession of the suit property and has been taking the crops like sugar cane, groundnuts, and such other crops in the suit property. The Plaintiff states that in the suit property there is a well and a lake. There is no water in the lake but sufficient water to cultivate the entire suit property as well as for drinking purposes is available in the well. The cultivation of entire suit property is totally dependent on water from this well. Except the water from the well no other facility of irrigation is available to the suit property. The Plaintiff states that the Plaintiff himself and his family members are totally dependent on the agricultural income of the suit property.

6) The defendant No. 1 issued a notice U/S 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act on 16/1/1986 to the Plaintiff regarding acquisition of the land admeasuring about 10 Ares out of the suit property for the purpose of defence project of India, Air Force. The Plaintiff submits that in the said notice, the portion of the suit property that was proposed to be acquired was not specifically mentioned, nor did the said notice specify the boundaries of the property proposed to be acquired. The Plaintiff is producing the said notice dated 16/8/1986 along with the suit at Sr. No. 4.

7) The Plaintiff therefore by a letter dated 29th September 1986 sent a reply to the Notice referred to above. The Plaintiff had specifically mentioned in the reply that the matter was sub–judice regarding the ownership and the right of the well situated in the suit property. Therefore, the reply was given without prejudice to the rights of the Plaintiff in the said matter. Further the Plaintiff also pointed out that the map of the land proposed to be acquired was not annexed to the notice and therefore it was not possible for the plaintiff to explain/submit his objections for the same. The plaintiff had met the defendant No.2 on 25/9/1986 and had explained the situation personally. The Plaintiff had therefore stated in the said letter that upon receipt of the reply on the points raised in the said letter, the Plaintiff would reply the show cause notice dated 16/9/86 referred above. The Plaintiff is producing the office copies of the letter dated 29/9/86 at Serial No. 5.

8) In spite of the letter of the Plaintiff dated 29/9/1986, neither the Defendant No. 1 nor the Defendant No.2 gave any reply or any explanation to the queries raised by the Plaintiff. The reply dated 29th September 1986. was given within the stipulated period of 30 days from the issuance of the notice under section 4 (1). Therefore it was obligatory on the part of the Defendants to send a reply to the said letter and also to give complete opportunity to the Plaintiff and to refer the matter to Defendant No. 1 along with the objections of the Plaintiff.

9) The Plaintiff respectfully submits that according to the mandatory provision of Sec. 5-A sub-sec.2 Defendant No. 1 was under a legal obligation to give a complete opportunity to the Plaintiff to represent his case either in person or through the Pleader of the Plaintiff.
It was also incumbent on the part of the Defendant No.1 to conduct an enquiry and thereafter to report to the Government. The recommendations along with the recorded proceedings held by him for the decision of the Government. However, the Defendant No.1 failed and neglected to follow the mandatory provisions of Sec. 5-A of the Land Acquisition Act. Thus, it is the specific contention of the Plaintiff that the entire acquisition proceeding has been vitiated.

10) It is the contention of the Plaintiff that without observing the mandatory provision of Sec. 5-A of the Act. The Defendant No. 2 issued a public notice under Sec. 6 of the Act. The Plaintiff came to know about this notice at a much later stage i.e. on or about 9th January 1989. Thereafter, upon perusal of the said notice, it is seen that some report under Sec. 5-A(2) of the Land Acquisition Act has been prepared and sent by the Collector to the Government. However the said report must have been sent without giving any hearing and as such is bad in law. The Plaintiff is producing a copy of the said public notice at serial No. 6 along with the plaint.

11) The Plaintiff thereafter received a notice from Defendant No.2 under Sec. 9 of the Act on or about 1st Jan., 1989. By the said notice the Plaintiff was called upon to be present before the Defendant No. 2 on 9/1/1989 for explaining the nature of the right, title and interest of the Plaintiff and regarding the compensation to be paid to the Plaintiff. The boundaries which are mentioned in the said notice are also incorrect and therefore the said notice is not a legal one. The Plaintiff has produced the notice under Sec. 9 at serial No. 7 along with the plaint.

12) The said matter was adjourned by the Defendant No. 2 at the request of the Plaintiff up to 17/1/1989. on 17th the Plaintiff submitted his written objections and also his written arguments with Defendant No. 2. On perusal of the Public notice referred to above and the Notice under Sec.9, the Plaintiff presumes that the Defendant want to acquire the land wherein the well is situated and this well is being acquired for the purpose of defence project of Indian Air Force. The suit property which is described in the Schedule hereunder written is having the area of 5 Hectors and 46 R. The said land is an agricultural land which is being cultivated by the Plaintiff personally. The Plaintiff has been taking the crops of sugarcane, groundnuts, wheat, rice, and bajari. The said well which is sought to be acquired is the only source of water for cultivating the suit property. Except this well, no other facility of irrigation is available to the Plaintiff for cultivating the land. Therefore, if the well is acquired the entire land of 5 Hectors 46 R would become useless, as the Plaintiff would not be in a position to take any crops in the said land.

13) The Plaintiff respectfully submits that the entire family of the Plaintiff is dependant on the income which the Plaintiff gets by cultivating the land personally. Except this land the Plaintiff does not possess or own any other land elsewhere. The water of the well has been utilised for drinking by the Plaintiff has installed diesel engine on the said well for pumping the water for agricultural activities. Therefore, if the well is acquired, the Plaintiff shall be put to irreparable loss, which cannot compensated in terms of money. The suit property cannot be utilised for any other purpose nor it can be used in any other manner in which it would be possible for the Plaintiff to get regular recurring income to the Plaintiff and his family members. As such the question of the survival of the Plaintiff and his family members would arise. As a result of all these events, the life of the Plaintiff will practically be ruined and the compensation at any high rate will not be an adequate remedy for this loss.

14) It is the specific contention of the Plaintiff that the action on the part of the Defendant to acquire the well in the suit property is not bonafide and genuine. Huge properties situated at Lohagaon are owned and possessed by the Defendants. The Defendant can very well dig a new well in these lands for the purpose of defence project of Indian Air Force. If the new well is dug by the Defendants the same can be unitised for the defence projects of the Indian Air Force.
In these circumstances, the action on the part of the defendants to acquire the well owned by the Plaintiff cannot be treated to be bonafide and genuine. All these factors were incorporated in the written arguments which were submitted by the Plaintiff is producing herewith the Copy of the written objections and arguments at Serial Now. 8 and 9 respectively. The Plaintiff requests this Hon’ble Court to treat the same as part and parcel of the plaint.

14) After 17th of January 1989 the Plaintiff did not receive any communication from the Defendant. For all the reasons stated above, it is specific contention of the Plaintiff that the notice under Sec. 9 issued by the Defendant No. 2 on or about 1st Jan. 1989 is bad in law. The Defendant No. 1 and 2 are about to proceed further on the basis of the above notice. The Plaintiff states that any further action of the Defendants on the basis of the illegal notice under Sec. 9 would be nullity and without any legal consequences. Since the Plaintiff did not receive any communication from the defendant after 17/1/1989 the Plaintiff apprehends some illegal action against him by the Defendants and hence the Plaintiff is constrained to file the present suit, thereby challenging the validity and legality of the notice published in Daily Prabhat on 17/8/1987 as well as notice under Sec. 9 received by the Plaintiff in the first week of January 1989.

15) The cause of action for the present suit first arose on 17/8/1987 when the notice under Sec. 6 was published by the Defendant No. 2 without following the mandatory provision of Sec. 5-A of the Land Acquisition Act. The cause of action further arose in the first week of January 89 when the Plaintiff received the notice under Sec. 9 from the Defendant No. 2 and upon enquiries the Plaintiff got the knowledge of the notice dated 17/8/1987. The cause of action further arose on 17/ /1989, when the Plaintiff submitted his written objections as well as arguments to the Defendant No. 2. The cause of action continues to arise every day thereafter.

16) The suit property situates, within the territorial limits of the Hob’ble Court. The cause of action for the present suit arose at Pune. Therefore this Hon’ble Court has jurisdiction to entertain and try this present suit.

17) The present suit being for declaration and the consequential relief of injunction, it cannot be calculated in terms of money. Therefore, the suit has been valued at Rs. 600/- for both declaration and the appropriate court fee stamp has been paid.

18) SCHEDULE
