State Of Uttar Pradesh & Ors vs Harish Chandra Singh on 17 January, 1969

The submission was canvassed that the proviso to Section 56 is unambiguously clear to indicate that the vacancy if to be filled-in by election is not to be filled-in by election if the terms ends within six months.. The learned counsel for the University, thereafter, relied upon the decision of the Apex Court in the case of State of U.P. vs. Harish Chandra and others reported in AIR 1996 SC 2173 and in the case of State of West Bengal vs. Subhas Kumar Chatterjee & Ors. reported in AIR 2010 SC 2927 in support of his submission. The decision to hold election of the Court is already taken and it is notified to all that the election would be held on 28.11.2010, which would go to show that even if there is a mandamus issued today, the entire mandamus and any exercised made there under would be in futility as the petitioner who has merely right to contest election will not get the term, even if she is elected for longer tenure, than few days only. The peculiar facts of this case, therefore, may persuade the Court not to issue any direction which may not, in fact, help the petitioner in any manner or cause inconvenience to the State or the instrumentality, namely the University in the present case.

Dir. Of Settlements, A.P. & Ors vs M.R. Apparao & Anr on 20 March, 2002

7. Learned counsel for the University contended that this Court, in peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case, may not issue any mandamus as, at the best, the petitioner can be said to be agitating her statutory right flowing from the statute called Gujarat University Act,1949 and under the very same statute the provision of section 56 makes it incumbent upon the University not to fill up the vacancy if its required to be filled up by holding election and if it arises within six months period preceding date on which the term of such member ends. Learned counsel for the respondent no. 1 and 2 invited this Court's attention to Section 56 along with its proviso and relying upon the said Section and it's proviso, submission was made that the Court may not issue futile direction as the elections to the very Court have been announced as the term of Court is going to end within a short period, namely, by 6.12.2010. Learned counsel for the University, in support of the contention with regard to non-issuances of writ in such a situation, relied upon the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Director of Settlements, A.P. and others vs. M.R. Apparao and another reported in AIR 2002 SC 1598 and reliance was also placed in respect of the observation of the Apex Court that the Court will have to take into consideration the right, existing and/or subsisting on the date when the mandamus is required to be issued.
