1. Marriage in contravention of S. 5 (i) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
is void ab initio u/S 11. The necessary condition for a lawful marriage as
laid down u/S 5 (i) is that neither party should have a spouse living at the
time of marriage. Such marriage cannot be justified on the ground that the
same was recognized by custom or usage.
2. In absence of specific details of subject property under the sale agreement, the decree for specific performance cannot be passed.
3. The readiness and willingness to perform his part of contract should be continuous from the date of agreement till the date of filing of suit.
4. In a case based on circumstantial evidence, proof of motive, though not a sine qua non where other incriminating circumstances are firmly established, assumes significant importance in lending assurance to the prosecution case. Motive becomes a vital link in the chain of circumstances when the prosecution relies upon indirect evidence.
5. Rule 9 (3) of Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 – In absence of endorsement to drive dangerous or hazardous vehicle, a driver having transport licence is not authorized to drive vehicle carrying dangerous or hazardous goods.
6. No individual or group of individuals is permitted to take the law into their own hands under the guise of protest, demonstration, or expression of grievance. The rule of law mandates that disputes and grievances must be addressed strictly through lawful and constitutional means. Any act of intimidation, obstruction, or violence, particularly against public servants performing their statutory duties, strikes at the very root of the administration of justice. The discretionary relief of anticipatory bail is not meant to shield persons who, prima facie, appear to have participated in acts undermining public order and the sanctity of judicial institutions.
7. Preliminary assessment of Juvenile in conflict with law is mandatory
under Section 15of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of
Children) Act, 2015, as and when he produced before the Juvenile
Justice Board, to examine whether the child is to be tried as an
adult, or not.
8. Section 41 of the Indian Forest Act, 1927 empowers the State to regulate transit of forest produce “by land or water”. The expression cannot be expansively interpreted to include railway transportation, which falls exclusively within the Union List. Any such interpretation would render the provision constitutionally infirm.
9. The concept of moulding of relief refers to the ability of a court to modify or shape a relief sought by a party in a legal proceeding. The principle enables the court to grant appropriate remedies even if the
relief requested in the pleading is not exact or could not be considered by the court, or changed circumstances have rendered the relief obsolete.
10. It is true that any order or judgment passed by any authority or the court having no jurisdiction is void. But, at the same time, it is also a settled legal proposition that even if an order is void, it is required to be so declared by a competent forum, and it is not permissible for any person to ignore the same merely because, in his opinion, the order is void.
