Ahammed Kabeer vs. The General Manager
Held
The High Court, finding the disputes to be factual and unsuitable for resolution under Article 226, relegated the matter to the General Manager of the District Industries Centre. The DIC was directed to hear both parties, evaluate their claims, and take a final decision regarding the land, the unit, and the entitled persons within two months, while also deciding on any interim arrangements.
Facts
Legal heirs of partners of 'Rajani Industries' filed two opposing writ petitions, each claiming exclusive rights over an industrial property and unit previously allotted to the firm by the District Industries Centre (DIC). The original partners had either retired or expired, leading to conflicting claims over the entitlement to operate the industry on the land, prompting the DIC to initiate proceedings.
Key Issues
The primary legal issue was whether the High Court should adjudicate complex factual disputes between legal heirs concerning rights over an industrial land and unit, or if such matters should be remitted to the competent administrative authority for comprehensive evaluation and decision.
