SOMNATH PAUL Vs. RAM LAKHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) IN short, the controversy in all these matters is as to whether if and when a licence to live in a quarter is revoked by a licensor, can the licensee be prosecuted for an offence under section 448 IPC.

(2.) CRIMINAL Appeal No. 207 of 1981, 208 of 1981, No. 209 of 1981 and No. 210 of 1981 related to matters which, according to the learned counsel for the appellants have become infructuous and on the strength of his statement these are being dismissed as not pressed. These four matters related to acquittals of Ram Lakhan, Jogendra Singh, Sarabjeet Singh and Bhullu. Since they are not being pressed no further discussions on the details of these appeals are necessary.

(3.) FURTHER proved facts are that all the respondents were in the employment of the Sabha though the commencement of each one's employment began at different dates. Similarly all the respondents have lost their jobs at which they took up their matters before the Labour Court for adjudication.
