Service tax on advocates

Hi all,

WRIT PETITION NO.1927 OF 2011 Writ Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India pertaining to Service Tax on Advocates has been dismissed by the Bombay High Court through its judgment, dated 15 December 2014.

The present writ petition was filed to seek declaration of the impugned provisions in section 65(105) (zzzzm) of the Finance Act, 1994 as inserted by the Finance Act, 2011 as null & void. The writ sought to challenge levy of Service Tax on Advocates. Section 65(105)(zzzzm) of the Finance Act, 1994 as inserted by the Finance Act 2009 and substituted by Finance Act 2011, proceeds to levy Service Tax on the Advocates. The amendment to Finance Act as mentioned levies, assesses and recovers Service Tax from Advocates and hence the same was challenged for being violative of the constitutional guarantee of justice to all.

With that judgment, all writs on the subject, as clubbed with the aforesaid writ, stand dismissed.

The full judgment can be accessed at the following link:

Non payment of salary till end of notice period

Dear expert
My friend working for a big company.She has completed 6 months in the company but has not been confirmed due to dirty company politics and is on probation.

Now she want to resign from her job.As per her appt letter states there is notice period of 2 months for any employee of this company whether confirmed or probation.

However company HR says that if she resigns she will have to serve 2 months notice and her salary will be on hold for 2 months and paid on successful completion of notice period.
This the HR says is because the company needs security that she will complete her notice period and not run away.She told HR she is ready to give undertaking that she will serve notice period but HR not listening.

But for salary person working without salary for 2 months is difficult. Also there is no assurance that company pay full 2 months salary after notice period over.
Is this legal.
Can my friend ask for 1 month salary to be paid at the end of first month notice period and the second month salary to be paid on completion of total notice period. Also she has no leaves left.

Please help as HR & company harassing poor girl

the mediator called us to talk for marriage and to show the girl. My family and I went to see the girl.
Mediator and the girl familymembers were already present to the temple which is located in my area.
The mediator convinced me through words like---- kamal ka Phool Kichar me hota hai Kamal Ka Phool Utha Lo Kichar Chod Do --
Maa ko Khayal Rakhegi---- like that
I agreed for marriage and thus marriage happened.
infact fraud marriage completed in
an hr in my locality and the whole marriage did without prior knowledge of friends, relatives, no invitation card and not social refreshments .Even marriage was not registered he shooted video
of marriage .She treated herself as normal 2 3 days but when she got Phonecall on her mobile by someone she started going with out asking any one and when she was asked she opposed for that and from this day
she become so much violent continuesly , these incident tooks place between every 2 3 days, and when my mother talked to Mediator(Amreswar Prasad) he was demanding 5 lakhs or 10 laks otherwise he will file dowry case.
And i was shocked at that time. when my mother attacked by her with knife & kick as result my mother got injuries in her body & eyes. Then first Letter dated 15/03/2012 sent to various police station as well as to her parents including Mediator (Amreswar Prasad) Who was the Master mind and who did Kanyadaan in marriage ,Now he is not accepting.
But I have Photographs & recorded videosrecorded through mobile phone where he is doing kanyadaanan and marriage rituals.

Is marriage is valid or null



sir,
when she (my wife)did full drama in my house like she started abusing to my mother as well she fought with my mother.some times she gave threats she would commit sucide.As result we called police to come and stop this drama.

She used to detain by police, as a result police called her parents put charges of sum Rs 1200 and then she released and she never come back her matrimonial place.

Sir , is this a sufficient cause for her to move out from her matrimonial place and now she is alleging that we have abandoned her, infact she went out by depositing a sum Rs 1200 in the police station.i have collect that receipt from police station.

Sir
can tell me is this a sufficient evidence for me to prove that whether she left out by own


Sir
now I enquire about hospital bills in which I found she was pregnant and she did sizzierig. this was done without knowing to us,Now I got know she admitted in hospital and unborn baby dead before she admitted.
Is this incident prove that she having adultery with some one?

Because she left matrimonial place by her own and I sent legal notice to her in which alredy mention about her paternity Challenge.

I wanted to know that how many times a private respondent can get adjournment opportunities to submit reply in a civil writ petition in highcourt.

In one of our case respondent state has filed reply by the way of counter affidavit in second opportunity (3rd hearing) but private respondents sought time second time to file reply. Can they take more time on next hearing. We are ready to argument on state's reply.
