3 Important Supreme Court Judgments April 25, 2019

1. Hirabai (d) Thr. Lrs. v. Ramniwas Bansilal Lakhotiya (d) by Lrs. & Ors.

Civil Law - Suit for declaration of title over suit property and for permanent injunction - Trial court dismissed the suit and dismissal was upheld by first appellate court and High Court. Held, the concurrent findings recorded by courts below were binding on High Court as also on Apex Court. All these findings were recorded on proper appreciation of facts and law. Suit filed by plaintiff appears to collusive to avoid execution of decree. The sale of suit property was by Karta for legal necessity and for benefit of the family, hence it was binding on plaintiffs. Plaintiffs failed to plead that the sale was not for said purpose. Hence the impugned order calls for no interference.

3. Rajan v. The Home Secretary Home Department of Tamil Nadu

The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 - Sections 432 and 433 - Remission of the Sentence - Whether the Central Government is a necessary party, as the request for premature release is in relation to offences under the Arms Act - Held, the sentence awarded to the petitioner in reference to offence under Section 3 read with Section 25(1A) of the Arms Act having already been completed by the petitioner as it was to run concurrently with life imprisonment, even these offences cannot be reckoned for considering the representation made by the petitioner. Resultantly, there would be no need to consult the Central Government and, for the same reason, the presence of Central Government in this petition is not essential.

1. Mallamma (dead) By Lrs. Vs. National Insurance Co. Ltd. [07-04-2014] 

Presumptions are the Bats of the Law, Flitting in the Twilight, but Disappearing in the Sunshine of Actual Facts [ORDER]

Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 -  Section 138 -  failure on the part of the complainant to produce his account statement and absence of entry in accounts maintained by him regarding loan advanced to the accused, does show that there was no material to support the basic facts on which the entire case of the complainant was based. Sufficient material was available on record    whereby the defence of the accused became probable. In such a situation, the presumption under the provisions of the Act ceased to operate and the burden fell upon the complainant to prove his case, which he failed to do by placing on record cogent evidence.
