State of Maharashtra and Ors.Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Bom) 427The Bombay High Court imposed cost of Rs. 3 Lakhs on the Chairperson and members of District Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee, Mumbai Suburban for "extreme stress and inconvenience" caused to a student due to delay in issuance of her caste validity certificate.A division bench of Justice Sunil B Shukre and Justice Firdosh P Pooniwalla held that the delay, solely attributable to the Scrutiny Committee, should not cause injustice to the student who couldn’t submit the certificate to the college authorities in time for her admission.44 Years After Railway Accident, Bombay High Court Upholds ₹51K Compensation To Mother Of DeceasedCase Title: Union of India and Anr. v. Umraobi W/o Saiyed Munir and Ors.Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Bom) 428The Bombay High Court upheld an award of compensation of Rs. 51,000 to the mother of a 24-year-old man who died in a railway accident 44 years ago involving the collision of a truck and a train engine.Justice PK Chavan observed that the accident was caused due to the negligence of railway staff.“It is clearly an act of negligence on the part of the employees of the appellants as it appears from the evidence that there was no proper communication between the switchman and the gateman as well as by the concerned Railway station. Had there been proper communication, there would have been an advance intimation to the gateman about passing of the engine”, the court observed.No Fundamental Right To Privately Create Immersion Pond In Public Park For Ganesh Visarjan: Bombay High CourtCase Title: Shri Durga Parmeshwari Seva Mandal & Ors. v. Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai & Ors.Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (Bom) 429The Bombay High Court dismissed the plea filed by a former Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) corporator seeking to organise Ganpati immersion in a private artificial pond at a municipal garden at Ghatkopar.A division bench of Justices GS Patel and Kamal Khata observed,“No person, let alone a Mandal, has any fundamental — or any other — right to privately create an immersion pond in a public park maintained by the Municipal Corporation.

Inbuilt in such love and affection is the duty of the son to provide basic amenities and physical needs to the widowed mother. The events that have occurred post execution of gift deeds so indicate that such love and affection between the Mother and son no longer exists.
