Anowar -Vs- The State
It is notable that for grievous hurt there must exist an intention to cause such a hurt or knowledge that such an action would be the natural and probable consequences causing grievous hurt; otherwise, the hurt would be a simple one to cause simple hurt only.

The benefit of doubt must be given to the accused.

In a criminal case, the allegations have no legal value unless reliable and credible witnesses testify to them, and the prosecution must prove them beyond any reasonable doubt.

Iqbal Hossain -Vs- The State and another
Absolute based on the compromise petition.

Mahbuba Mohammad Babon -Vs- The State and another
The demand for money is not even alleged to be made as a consideration of the marriage. Neither money nor any other property can be said to be dowry unless they satisfy the definition of dowry as under the Act.

The language of Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act,1980 is clear and unambiguous, which suggests that the demand of dowry should be made to the parent or guardians of the bride or bridegroom, as the case may be, to bring a person under the dragnet of Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act,1980.

Mst. Rotna Khatun -Vs- The State
From a plain reading of sub-section (1) of section 103 of the Code of Criminal Procedure it is abundantly clear that the search by the Police must be conducted in the presence of at least two respectable inhabitants of the locality and the things which are to be seized in connection with any case are to be seized during the course of such search conducted in presence of at least two respectable local inhabitants. The requirements of sub-section (2) of section 103 read with sub-section (1) of section 103 are that the entire search from the beginning to the end must be conducted in the presence of two respectable local inhabitants and the requirements are not fulfilled if the search and the seizure have taken place either preceding the arrival of the local inhabitants or take place after they departed from the place of search. The provision relating to search and seizure provided in sub-section (1) and sub-section (2) of section 103 of the Code of Criminal Procedure are mandatory, and any search and seizure without strictly complying with the aforesaid provisions must be deemed to be illegal and as such, must be left out of consideration in a criminal trial.

Md. Rashel Uddin - Vs- The State and another
The convict appellant demanded Tk.1,00,000/- for business purpose from his wife (complainant); therefore we are of the firm view that the prosecution failed to prove that the convict appellant demanded money as dowry at the relevant time of the occurrence. Therefore, the alleged demand of money of Tk. 1,00,000/- does not fall within the purview of the definition of dowry contemplated in section 2(ঞ ) of the Ain.

“The learned Judges of the High Court Division failed to consider that from plain reading of the complaint, it is abundantly clear that it does not disclose any offense against the petitioner and that a normal financial deal between the debtor and creditor does not come within the scope of any offence and as such the impugned judgment and order is liable to be set aside for the ends of justice.”

Eakub Ali -Versus- Shanzida Nasrin
The Rule 28 (1) (Ka) of the Muslim marriages and Divorces (Registration) Rules, 2009 formulates a Form for Nikahnama in which columns 13-15 are specifically endorsed with the amount of Mahr. prompt/deferred dowers, and the paid amount of mohrana, respectively, and thereby column 14 is beyond the ambit of the Qur`anic verses unless the bride agrees to the deferred dowers. Consequently, any kind of imposed deferred dower would be considered as prompt dower after being claimed by the wife. Prompt dower must be payable immediately or on demand, according to the terms of the marriage contract and applicable Muslim law, However, I am of the firm view that the wife must not wait until divorce or death to get the dower merely because the Nikahnama contains a dower obligation. The standard position is that prompt dower is a debt owed by the husband to the wife, and that it is an unsecured debt and an actionable claim; it must be paid forthwith, and if a wife has to come to Coult for realization of prompt dower, the trial Court has the discretion to award compensation to the wife on the basis of the facts of its own case, where the husband deferred the dower, having financial capacity.

Abu Taber and others. -Versus- Newtex Group of Companies and others.
This court is of the considered view that - i) A composite application under section 43 of the Companies Act, 1994 is not rendered incompetent merely because it concerns the registers of different companies and the impugned transfers are evidenced by separate instruments, where the claims arise from a connected series of transactions and involve common questions of law or fact founded upon the same underlying transaction or event. While the relief under section 43 must be separately directed to the register of each company, the connected claims may, in appropriate circumstances, be adjudicated in one proceeding where separate proceedings would substantially involve the same evidence and foundational issues or risk inconsistent findings. ii) Section 43 of the Companies Act, 1994 confers a wide jurisdiction upon the Court to rectify the register and, where necessary, to determine the title of a party to the proceeding; however, the jurisdiction is directed towards determining whether rectification is justified and does not require the Court to finally adjudicate every complex dispute concerning contracts, succession, minority, fraud and competing proprietary claims. A succession certificate relating to shares operates within the statutory scheme of Part X of the Succession Act, 1925, and shares constitute securities for the purposes of that Part. iii) Where a company deals with the holder of a succession certificate in good faith, sections 381 and 386 of the Succession Act afford statutory protection to such dealings, notwithstanding the subsequent revocation or supersession of the certificate, where the statutory conditions are satisfied. Subsequent revocation of a succession certificate does not, by itself, retrospectively establish that every transaction undertaken while the certificate was operative was void or that the register of members must consequently be rectified. iv) The absence of a fixed limitation period in section 43 does not make delay irrelevant. Where substantial delay is accompanied by the accrual of third-party rights and long-standing corporate entries, such circumstances may legitimately weigh against the discretionary relief of rectification. v) Where the relief sought under section 43 substantially depends upon cancellation or invalidation of old instruments and upon the determination of complicated questions involving persons who are not parties to the proceeding, the Court may appropriately decline rectification without adjudicating those substantive claims finally. vi) Refusal of rectification under section 43 does not, by itself, extinguish any independent substantive right which a claimant may have against a person who has unlawfully received property or consideration. Such rights remain subject to determination in an appropriate proceeding in accordance with law, consistent with section 387 of the Succession Act.

Khandakar Istiak Ahmed and others -Versus- Alhaz Md. Abdul Aziz Dhali and others
The principle of functus officio is decision-specific, and the bottom line is judicial economy as well as the finality of litigation. Thus, a Court, having finally determined a particular matter, ordinarily becomes functus officio with regard to that determination; nevertheless, its jurisdiction is not thereby exhausted in respect of other matters in the proceedings, including execution or enforcement and such ancillary or further proceedings as may be expressly sanctioned by statute. The principle admits of limited exceptions where the impugned decision was made in excess of or without jurisdiction, is patently illegal, or was obtained by fraud.

26
Agrani Bank Limited (now PLC) Vs. M/S Yanbar Agro Products Industries, Dhaka
Ratio 3: Deterioration or destruction of secured goods does not, by itself, establish negligence or breach of duty by the lender. A claimant seeking compensation must prove the specific legal or contractual duty owed by the lender, the particular breach thereof, the direct causal connection between that breach and the loss, and the legally recoverable quantum of such loss. Where the borrower retained physical possession and control of the goods, sections 151 and 152 cannot be invoked merely because the lender held a security interest over them.

Ratio 4: A contractual allocation of risk concerning loss, damage or deterioration of secured goods is not rendered void under section 23 of the Contract Act merely because it operates to the disadvantage of the borrower, particularly where the borrower retained possession of the goods. Section 152 itself recognizes the relevance of a special contract. However, no contractual term can override a mandatory statutory duty or immunize a party from an otherwise established breach of such duty. The Blue Pencil Rule is a doctrine of severability and cannot be employed to rewrite the parties` contract or create a duty which the contract and law do not otherwise impose.
