1. Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority v. Karamjit Singh
Service Law - Regularization of Services - The Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority Employees (Punishment and Appeal) Regulations, 1997 - An order of regularization obtained by misrepresenting facts, or by playing a fraud upon the competent authority, cannot be sustained in the eyes of law.
Facts of the Case
The question of holding disciplinary proceedings as envisaged under Article 311 of the Constitution, or under any other disciplinary rules did not arise in the present case since the Respondent was admittedly not an “employee” of the Appellant – Authority, and did not hold a civil post under the State Government. He was merely a daily wager on the muster rolls of the Appellant – Authority.

5. Md. Allauddin Khan v. The State of Bihar
Criminal Law - In order to see whether any prima facie case against the accused for taking its cognizable is made out or not, the Court is only required to see the allegations made in the complaint.
The Code Of Criminal Procedure, 1973 - Section 482 - Contradictions in the statements of the witnesses on the point of occurrence - the High Court had no jurisdiction to appreciate the evidence of the proceedings under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. because whether there are contradictions or/and inconsistencies in the statements of the witnesses is essentially an issue relating to appreciation of evidence and the same can be gone into by the Judicial Magistrate during trial when the entire evidence is adduced by the parties. That stage is yet to come in this case.
The Indian Penal Code, 1860 - Sections 323, 379 read with Section 34 - Mere pendency of a civil suit is not an answer to the question as to whether a case under Sections 323, 379 read with Section 34 IPC is made out or not.
The High Court did not examine the case with a view to find out as to whether the allegations made in the complaint prima facie make out the offences falling under Sections 323, 379 read with Section 34 IPC or not. Instead the High Court gave importance to the fact that since there was a dispute pending between the parties in the Civil Court in relation to a shop as being landlord and tenant, it is essentially a civil dispute between the parties. It is on this ground, the High Court proceeded to quash the complaint. This approach of the High Court is faulty.

6. Bihari Lal v. The State of Rajasthan
The Indian Penal Code, 1860 - Sections 307, 323, 325, 336, and 341 read with Section 34 - Attempt to Murder - The stage to appreciate the evidence with a view to find fault or/and inconsistencies in the two medical reports would arise only when the prosecution leads evidence by examining the doctors in support of the medical reports.
The Indian Penal Code, 1860 - Section 307 - Attempt to Murder - Mere perusal of the medical reports filed by the prosecution would prima facie show that a case under Section 307 IPC is made out and, therefore, the charge under Section 307 IPC should have been framed along with the other charges.

7. Dr. Manohar Ganapathi Ravankar v. H. Gurunanda Raikar
Civil Law - Suit for Specific Performance of the Agreement of Sale - the entire story of payment of Rs. 6,75,000/- at the time of handing over the title documents is wholly unbelievable - Plaintiff has not asserted such fact in the plaint or in the notice - High Court erred in law in passing a decree for recovery of the said amount only on the basis of presumptions - Plaintiff is not entitled to decree for relief of specific performance, in view of the finding recorded by the High Court itself that he was not ready and willing to perform his part of the contract.
