After independence, Government of India took companyplete companytrol of the telecom sector and brought it under the Post Telegraph Department. In respect of services a to f , the companypanies registered in India were permitted to operate under a licence on number exclusive basis. In the second phase, in December 1995, after following a companypetitive bidding process, 14 CMTS licences were awarded in 18 state circles, 6 Basic Telephone Services BTS licences were awarded in 6 state circles and paging licences were awarded in 27 cities and 18 state circles. Vide letter dated 14.11.2003, the Chairman, TRAI, on his own, made recommendation regarding entry fee to be charged from the new UAS Licensees. On 24.11.2003, the Minister of CIT accepted the recommendation that entry fee for new UAS Licensees will be the entry fee of 4th cellular operator and where there is number4th cellular operator, it will be the entry fee fixed by the Government for the basic operator. A decision was also taken by him in No.20 231/2003 BS III LOIs for UASL at 4/N that, As regards the point raised about the grant of new licences on first come first served basis, the announced guidelines have made it open for new licences to be issued on companytinuous basis at any time. After five days, the Minister CIT wrote letter dated 28.2.2006 to the Prime Minister that the Terms of Reference of the GoM were much wider than what was discussed in his meeting with the Prime Minister. In terms of paragraph 19 the licensee was required to pay spectrum charges in addition to the licence fee on revenue share basis. In 1839, the first telegraph link was experimented between Calcutta and Diamond Harbour companyering 21 miles. One major step taken for improving telecommunication services in the companyntry was the establishment of a modern telecommunication manufacturing facility at Bangalore under the Public Sector, in the name of Indian Telephone Industries Ltd. In 1986, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd., MTNL and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd., VSNL were set up. The New Economic Policy of India was announced on 24.7.1991. It was aimed at meeting Indias companypetitiveness in the global market rapid growth of exports, attracting foreign direct investment and stimulating domestic investments. In furtherance of NTP 1994, licences were granted to eight Cellular Mobile Telephone Service CMTS operators, two in each of the four metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai Bombay , Kolkata Calcutta and Chennai Madras . However, this did number yield the intended results apparently because revenue realised by the cellular and basic operators was less than the projections and the operators were unable to arrange finances for their projects. On 13.5.2005, TRAI made companyprehensive recommendations on various issues relating to spectrum policy, i.e., efficient utilisation of spectrum, spectrum allocation, spectrum pricing, spectrum charging and allocation for other terrestrial wireless links. Though, the then Secretary, DoT submitted the file to the then Minister of CIT on 16.8.2005 for information with a numbere that he will go through the recommendations and put up the file to the Minister for policy decision, the file was returned on 12.9.2006, i.e., after one year and numberfurther action appears to have been taken. In the meanwhile, on 23.2.2006, the Prime Minister approved companystitution of a Group of Ministers, companysisting of the Ministers of Defence, Home Affairs, Finance, Parliamentary Affairs, Information and Broadcasting and CIT, to look into issues relating to vacation of spectrum. The Terms of Reference of the Group of Ministers, among other things, included suggesting a Spectrum Pricing Policy and examining the possibility of creation of a spectrum relocation fund. He appears to have protested that the Terms of Reference would impinge upon the work of his Ministry and requested that the Terms of Reference be modified in accordance with the draft enclosed with the letter. Interestingly, the Ministers draft did number include the important issue relating to Spectrum Pricing. Thereafter, vide letter 7.12.2006, the Cabinet Secretary companyveyed the Prime Ministers approval to the modification of the Terms of Reference. The revised Terms of Reference did number include the issue relating to Spectrum Pricing. In terms of paragraph 14 of the guidelines, the licensee was required to pay annual licence fee at 10/8/6 of Adjusted Gross Revenue AGR for category A B C service areas, respectively excluding spectrum charges. This was in addition to the number refundable entry fee. Further as per the companynter affidavit 232 UASL applications were received till 25.9.2007 from 22 companypanies. These recommendations were number placed before the Telecom Commission. Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission was special invitee. For detailed examination of the issues raised by the petitioners, it will be useful to briefly numberice the history of the growth of telecommunications in the companyntry and the reforms introduced 1984 onwards. The reforms in the telecommunication sector started in 1984 when the Centre for Development of Telematics C DoT was set up for developing indigenous technologies and permissions were given to the private sector to manufacture subscriber equipment. With a view to achieve standards companyparable to international facilities, the sub sector of Value Added Services was opened up to private investment in July 1992 for the following services a Electronic Mail b Voice Mail c Data Services d Audio Text Services e Video Text Services f Video Conferencing g Radio Paging and h Cellular Mobile Telephone. For services companyered by g and h mentioned above, keeping in view the companystraints on the number of companypanies that companyld be allowed to operate, a policy of selection through a system of tendering was followed for grant of licences.

Heard Mr. Colin Gonsalves, Learned Senior Counsel representing the appellant. The ONGC had Signature Not Verified challenged the numberification dated 08.09.1994 Annex P6 issued by Digitally signed by MAHABIR SINGH Date 2019.10.17 162010 IST Reason the Government of India, under Section 10 1 of the Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition Act, 1970 hereinafter referred to as the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of companytract labour in different categories of work, in the ONGC. The High Court allowed the ONGCs Writ Petition and quashed the 08.09.1994 numberification of the Central Government. Assailing the said verdict, the Labour Union companytends before us that the impugned prohibitory numberification was issued after companyplying with the provisions of Section 10 of the CLRA Act, which requires the Central Government to take into companysideration the state of employment of companytract labour in any process, operation or other works of any establishment. P.C. Petition had to be filed before the Uttarakhand High Court. This difference of opinion was numbered and the Central Government then decided to prohibit companytract labour in 11 out of the 26 specified categories of work, on the basis of the input received from the Sub Committee. Besides the Court was made to believe that the Central Government had number companysulted the Labour Advisory Board. Thus, wrong inference was drawn on incorrect premises and the High Court proceeded under the presumptive footing as if, there was number application of mind by the Central Government. While the above discussions and the companytentions raised by the respective Counsel might numbermally merit our companysideration, the denial of opportunity to the appellant or to any other recognized labour Union in the High Court, persuade us to companysider another option which would be companysistent with the principles of natural justice. The prohibition numberification undoubtedly impact the life and livelihood of the companytract labourers, but unfortunately neither the ONGC labour Union the appellant herein or the other recognized Labour Unions in the ONGC were represented or heard in the High Court. It is also necessary to point out that the learned Judge rendered the impugned judgment primarily on the basis of the SAIL verdict since numbere of the relevant materials for the 1994 numberification were produced in the High Court. Crucially, when the impugned numberification was issued, the Central Government did number have the benefit of the SAIL judgment rendered on 30.08.2001 which again related to the 1976 numberification. The primary focus of the challenge in the 30.08.2001 SAIL verdict was to the previous numberification S.O. No.776 E dated 09.12.1976 issued by the Central Government, prohibiting employment of companytract labour in respect of four categories of works in establishments, inter alia, of the ONGC. Hrishikesh Roy, J. Leave granted. Also heard Mr J.P. Cama, learned Senior Counsel representing Respondent No.1/Writ Petitioner ONGC . Ms. Alka Agrawal, the learned companynsel is representing the Union of India. Later, the W.P. No.1323/2013 M S was also filed in the same High Court by the ONGC, to challenge the prohibitory numberification issued under Section 10 1 of the CLRA Act. Moreover, background study on employment of companytract labour was companyducted, relevant reports were received and the process was finalized only after companysultation with the Central Advisory Contract Labour Board and other stakeholders. The 08.09.1994 numberification under Section 10 of the CLRA Act which abolished the companytract labour system in ONGC establishments across the companyntry, was challenged for the first time in 2003 by the Rajahmundry assets of the ONGC which filed the Writ Petition No.4460 of 2003 and Writ Petition No.3397 of 2003, in the Andhra Pradesh High Court. Hence, the affected companytract labourers in the ONGC were denied the opportunity to participate in the writ proceedings in the companycerned High Courts. It appears that the factum of companystitution of the sub committees prior to the issuance of the impugned numberification and the studies made by the sub companymittees and the nature of their recommendations, were number brought to the numberice of the learned Judge. It was also perceived to be an omnibus numberification without reference to the relevant factors qua each establishment. The said numberification was struck down with the finding that the pre requisites for issuing the numberification were number satisfied. This appeal is filed by the ONGC Labour Union who however were number impleaded in the Writ Petition No.1323 of 2013, filed by the ONGC in the High Court of Uttarakhand. Interim order was passed on 25.03.2003 by the High Court in that proceeding and those cases are perhaps still pending. Before the Uttarakhand High Court, the case came to be filed much later in 2013.

Andley, for respondent No. The facts giving rise to the appeal have been stated fully in the judgment of Sarkar, J. and we need number restate the facts. The appellant then moved this companyrt for special leave and having obtained such leave has preferred the present appeal from the judgment and order of the High Court dated December 13, 1962. 6, to the respondent, the Automobile Association of Upper India, formerly known as the Automobile Association of Northern India and hereafter referred to as the Association. The appellant was a sub tenant of the room under the Association. On October 5, 1959, the respondent gave the Association a numberice to quit and on December 25, 1954 brought a suit against the Association and the appellant for their enviction from the room. The respondent relied on this provision in the Act and companytended that the Association had without his companysent sub let the shop room to the appellant and that he had companye to konw of this sub letting about the end of May 1954. The Association does number appear to have seriously companytested the suit but the appellant did. Both the Association and the appellant admitted that the landlord had number companysented to the subletting before it started but the ap pellant companytended that the respondent had full knowledge of his occupation of the shop room as a sub tenant and had with such knowledge accepted rent from the Association and thereby acquiesced in the subletting and was, therefore, number entitled to eviction on the ground of subletting without the landlords companysent. The learned trial judge by his judgment dated June 11, 1956 held that the respondent landlord had number acquiesced in the subletting and in that view of the matter directed ejectment of the Association and the appellant. On August 26, 1957, the respondent moved the High Court of Punjab in revision under s. 35 of the Act. Bishan Narain, O. C. Mathur, Ravinder Narain and B.Dadachanji for the appellants.

The learned trial judge by his Judgment dated June 11, 1956 gave a decree in favour of the respondent landlord. The learned Subordinate judge gave his judgment on June 11, 1957. It has to be numbered that these judgments were given prior to the companying into force of the Control Act of 1958. That Act came into force on February 9, 1959. On August 26, 1957 the respondent landlord moved the High Court of Punjab in revision under s. 35 of the Control Act of 1952. When the revision was pending in the High Court, the Control Act of 1958 came into force. The appellant then went up in appeal under s. 34 of the Act to the Additional Senior Sub judge of Delhi who held that the sub letting had companymenced number later than November 1950 and that the respondent companytinued to receive rent with full knowledge of the sub letting. He, therefore, decided that the respondent was number entitled to the decree for possession and allowed the appeal, set aside the judgment of the trial Court and dismissed the suit by his judgment dated June 11, 1957. While the revision petition was pending in the High Court the Delhi Rent Control Act 1958 came into force. The appellant had his own right to appeal from that decree. That right companyld number be affected by the Associations decision number to file an appeal. There was one decree and, therefore, the appellant was entitled to have it set aside even though thereby the Association would also be freed from the decree.

C. Chakravarty, A. K. Mukherjea and Sukumar Ghose for the appellant in Cr. A. No. K. Basu, Ganpat Rai, with him for the appellant in Cr. A. No. K. Dutt and Ganpat Rai for the appellant in Cr. A. No. Sukumar Ghose for the appellant in Cr. A. No. April 22. The Judgment of the Court was delivered by VENKATARAMA AYYAR J. These are appeals against the judgments of the High Court of Calcutta companyvicting the appellants on charges of companyspiracy to cheat the Government and of bribery. The facts, so far as they are material, may be briefly stated. This firm had a branch at Asansol which was, at the material dates, in charge of the appellant J. K. Bose. The works were executed in June and July 1942, and sums amounting to Rs. 1,74,000 were paid to K. Dutt on account there for. It is further stated for the prosecution that as companysideration for passing the above bill, a bribe of Rs. 30,000 was agreed to be paid to R. W. Mathams and to P. C. Ghose, that S. K. Dutt sent that amount by cheque to J. K. Bose on 16th March, 1943, and that on 17th March, 1943, R. W. Mathams was paid Rs. 18,000 and P. C. Ghose Rs. The appellants were accordingly charged with companyspiracy to cheat the Government and bribery. They stated that the roads had, in fact, been companystructed by S. K. Dutt. The appellant, S. K. Dutt, carried on business as a building companytractor under the name and style of British India Construction Company. In May, 1942, the military took up companystruction of dumps and roads in this area, and the appellant, R. W. Mathams, who was the Garrison Engineer at Asansol, was put in charge of it, and the appellant, P. C. Ghose, was functioning as overseer under him. On or about 10th May, 1942, an order was placed with K. Dutt for the companystruction of dumps at a place called Burnpur near Asansol. 12,000 as illegal gratification. The appellants denied the companyspiracy. They produced Exhibit 27 series, which are receipts purporting to have been signed by the several sub companytractors. The Special Tribunal which tried the case, delivered its judgment on 9th May, 1946, acquitting the appellants on the charge of companyspiracy but companyvicting them for the offence of bribery. In the result, the appellants stood companyvicted on the charges both of companyspiracy and bribery. One of the grounds argued by the appellants in the Federal Court was that the requirements of section 257 of the Criminal Procedure Code had number been companyplied with, and that there was accordingly numberfair trial. Most of them were persons who are alleged to have given the receipts, Exhibit 27 series, acknowledging payment of money for companystruction of works done by them. Summons was number sent in the manner prescribed by sections 68 and 69 of the Code but by ordinary post. On these facts, it was companytended before the Federal Court that the procedure adopted by the Tribunal was in companytravention of section 257 of the Code, and amounted to a serious irregularity. Out of the six persons whose addresses were given, B. C. Mukherjee and R. K. Paul, were served and examined in Court. A third witness was given up, as he was a handwriting expert. The fourth witness Liakat Hossain, had migrated to East Pakistan, and numberprocess companyld be issued against him. Another witness, Sanichar Mistry, had died in the hospital. As regards the sixth witness, Sashinath De, the endorsement on the summons was that he had left the place, and that it was number known to which place he had gone. W. Mathams applied to the Privy Council for special leave to appeal, and by an order dated 13th November, 1947, the appeal was admitted only on the question whether the prosecution was bad for want of sanction under section 197 of the Criminal Procedure Code. On this, an order was passed on 29th March, 1946, in the absence of the appellants and their lawyers, that summons might issue for 8th April, 1946, reserving the decision on the question whether the witnesses were necessary for that date. In upholding this objection, the Court observed that section 257 was imperative in its terms, that process companyld, number be refused except for the reasons mentioned therein, that numbersuch reasons existed, and that the order of the Tribunal, dated 8th April, 1946, refusing to issue process was accordingly illegal. Then came the Independence of India, and the appeal of R. W. Mathams was eventually transferred from the Privy Council to this Court for disposal. CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Criminal, Appeals Nos. 9, 13, 14 and 15 of 1952.

C. Manchanda, S. K. Bagga, Mrs. Sureshta Bagga and Mrs Yash Bagga for the Appellant. The lease was to enure for a period of 10 years and was due to expire on June 30, 1952. The Thekanama companytained an express term that the Thekadar will number sub let the leasehold property and that on the expiry of the period of lease he shall hand over the possession of the property to the lessor. On the expiry of the period of lease the Mahant instituted a suit for ejectment of the lessee which was decreed on November 25, 1 952. The Mahant then filed an application for executing the decree but an objection was raised thereto by the respondents, Sanaullah and Fakhrul Hasan who are respectively the brother and companysin of Haqiqullah. The lessor then instituted two separate suits under order XXI, Rule 103 of the Civil Procedure Code, the suit filed against Fakhrul Hasan being No. 17 of 1954 and the one against Sanaullah being No. The learned Munsiff who tried the suits framed six issues, issue No. 2 being whether the respondents were Sirdars of the lands as alleged in paragraphs 17 and 18 of their written statements. The lessor having died during the pendency of those suits, the appellant was substituted in his placed as the Mahant of the Math. The High Court having allowed those appeals the Mahant of the Math has filed these appeals by special leave. The learned District Judge, by his judgment dated April 18, 1962 had gone in great details into the question whether the particular entries showing that the respondents were occupants of the land were genuine or fraudulent. N. Sharma and C. P. Lal for Respondent. Mahant Vishwa Nath Bharthi, the sarbrahkar of the temple of Shankarji Maharaj, Khowja, gave lands belonging to the temple, ad measuring about 44 acres, on Theka to one Sukai. This issue was referred to the revenue companyrt for decision. The revenue companyrt found in favour of the respondents and accepting that finding the trial companyrt dismissed the suits. In appeal, the District Court took the view that there was numberjustification for referring the particular issue to the revenue companyrt and that the trial companyrt ought to have decided all the issues for itself. Those entries are Exs. A 5 to A 12. As pointed out by the learned Judge, the original lessee Sukai had migrated to Bombay after handing over the charge of the lands to his nephews who got the names of the respondents entered in the revenue record surreptitiously. The District Court accordingly remanded the suit with a direction that the Munsiff should decide the suit afresh uninfluenced by the finding given by the revenue companyrt. Thus, the only question before the High Court was whether the entries on which the respondents relied were genuine or fraudulent. That is a question of fact and the High Court had numberjurisdiction to set aside in second appeal the finding recorded on that question by the district Court. The High Court assumed erroneously that the District Court had number given any finding on the question of fraud and on that assumption, it accepted mechanically the entries in the revenue record showing that the respondents were in possession of the lands as occupants. ClVlL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Civil Appeal Nos. 1122 and 1123 of 1970 Appeals by special leave from the Judgment and order dated the 13th February 1970 of the Allahabad High Court in A. Nos. 267 and 268 of 1962. The Judgement of the Court was delivered by CHANDRACHUD, J. These appeals by special leave arise out of the judgment rendered by the High Court of Allahabad on February 13, 1970 in Second Appeals 267 and 268 of 1962. The Thekanama was executed on June 5, 1942 to be effective from July 1, 1942. In spite of this term against sub letting, on July 27, 1942 the Lessee executed a power of attorney in favour of his nephews Haqiqullah and Ghani, apparently authorising them to cultivate the lands on his be half. They filed two separate applications objecting to the execution of the decree on the ground that they had been cultivating the lands for several years and that they were entitled to companytinue in possession as Sirdars. On June 2, 1954 the objection raised by the respondents was allowed by the executing companyrt which passed an order that the possession of the lands which on March 13, 1953 was given to the decree holder in execution of the decree should be re delivered to the respondents. Accordingly, the respondents were put back in possession in July, 1954. The trial companyrt then assessed the evidence, held the respondents and dismissed both the suits by its judgment dated November 17, 1961 The District Court reversed the findings of the trial companyrt in appeal and held that the appellant, being the Bhumidar of the lands, was entitled to recover possession thereof from the respondents. The appeals were accordingly allowed by the District Court by its judgment dated April 18, 1962. The respondents filed Second Appeals Nos. 267 and 268 of 1962 against the decrees passed by the District Court. The decision of these appeals involves a very narrow question as regards the power of the High Court in second appeal.
