Writ Petition No. 11442 of 2014 |
Section 216 (1)(Chha) of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 |
We fail to understand how the learned Chairman of the Labour Appellate Tribunal, Dhaka could entertain the appeal of respondent no. 3 in the very first place when, admittedly, there was no judicial order under challenge. In our view, the appeal before the Labour Appellate Tribunal itself was absolutely misconceived and therefore not maintainable at all. |

Contempt Petition No.264/2010. (Arising out of Writ Petition No.7694/2010) |
Contempt of Court Court of record |
The impugned comment constituted the offence, because; (1) by this comment the contemnor purported to usurp the function of this Division, (2) the comment has the potential of influencing the minds of the people at large as well of the judges, whether or not it actually generated that effect, (3) the comment amounted to prejudging the cause which was awaiting adjudication, (4) the comment was vibrant enough to lead the public as well as the judges concerned to reckon that by issuing the Rule and passing th |

Death Reference No.36 of 2010 |
Single witness Relationship of the witness with the victim |
The case of prosecution does not depend on the number of witnesses produced but it can depend upon a single witness whose evidence (testimony) is trustworthy, credible and unimpeachable. Therefore, obviously we can easily draw such inference in this matter that the case of the prosecution can stand very much on a single evidence if it is tangible and credible. |

Corroboration of evidence Presumption against prosecution |
Sub-section (1) of section 138 has not made any qualification of the cheque so returned unpaid either post dated given as a security for repayment of the money as alleged by the accused or any other cheque issued by the drawer from encashment currently. The legislature has not made any difference between a post dated cheque issued as security and a cheque issued for encashment currently. I do not see any scope of making any such difference. |

Criminal Appeal No. 4103 of 2012 |
Motive Culpable homicide |
In the absence of any motive, conspiracy, pre-plan or pre-meditation on the part of accused-appellant Muslim while inflicting injuries resulting the death of the victim 7 days after the occurrence, we find that the accused-appellant Muslim had no intention to commit murder but he committed the offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. |

Writ Petition No. 6220 of 2007 |
Locus Standi |
We find that that the petitioner Samity does not have any locus-standi to move the writ petition to ventilate the causes of its aggrieved members since it is not a public purpose, rather the purpose for the benefits of individual members of the samity who have individually bought the land and thereafter formed the samity, and as such, we do not find the instant Rule maintainable. |

Public servant Sanction from the Government to prosecute |
A Member of Parliament is not a `public servant` within the meaning of section 21 of the Penal Code or section 2 of the Act II of 1947. We, therefore, accept the submission advanced by the learned Advocate for the petitioner only to the extent that in order to prosecute opposite party 2, no sanction from the Government was required. |

Prima-facie case Seized articles Incriminating article |
On perusal of the FIR of the case, it appears that there is no specific allegation or overt act against the accused-petitioner therein which shows that no prima-facie case is revealed against the accused-petitioner. The column no.5 of the charge-sheet of the case in respect of any seized articles shows that said column is blank meaning thereby that no incriminating articles although the case is under sections 3/4 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908. |

গ্যাস বিপনন নিয়মাবলী, 2004 has no compelling or binding effect upon the petitioners since admittedly the same is not law or has no force of law. Therefore, a nexus between the petitioners` grievance and Clause 5.7 of the গ্যাস বিপনন নিয়মাবলী, 2004 by itself cannot be established that the petitioner can seek remedy under Article 102 (2) (a) (ii) of the Constitution. |

From promise or from established practice, a duty to act fairly and thus to comply with natural justice may arise. Thus the concepts of `fairness` and `legitimate expectation` have expanded the applicability of natural justice beyond the sphere of right. |

Bill of Lading Unpaid Seller`s Lien |
In the present case petitioner submitted an ocean bill of lading issued by EXCALIVOR LOGISTICS who is a freight forwarder and agent. Therefore, as per Article 1(a) of schedule of the Carriage of Goods Sea Act, 1925, EXCALIVOR LOGISTICS is neither an owner nor a chatterer of the vessel and had no authority to issue any bill of lading. So, the bill of lading placed by the petitioner was not a bill of lading as per Article-1 (a) of schedule of `The carriage of goods by Sea Act, 1925.` |
