The appellant is a holder of FL-3 licence under the<\/p>\n<p>provisions of the Kerala Abkari Act read with the Foreign Liquor<\/p>\n<p>Rules,1972. The said licence authorises the holder of such a licence<\/p>\n<p>to serve liquor at the hotel run by the appellant.

Under sub-rule (5) of Rule 35 of the Rules of the High<\/p>\n<p>Court of Kerala, 1971 read with Rule 159 of the said Rules, a<\/p>\n<p>memorandum of appeal would require to contain a synopsis<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.1136 of 2010\n<\/p>\n<p>                                       &#8211; 2 &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>containing the &#8220;dates and events chronologically arranged, points to be<\/p>\n<p>urged, Acts\/Rules to be referred and authorities to be cited&#8221;.

Memorandum of the instant writ appeal does not contain<\/p>\n<p>any information whatsoever as to what are the basic facts which<\/p>\n<p>provided the cause of action for the writ petition.                The pleadings are<\/p>\n<p>wholly unsatisfactory. Obviously the learned counsel for the appellant<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.1136 of 2010\n<\/p>\n<p>                                    &#8211; 4 &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>believes that it is the responsibility of the Judges to wade through all<\/p>\n<p>the papers filed to make out a case and decide very &#8216;wisely&#8217; in favour<\/p>\n<p>of the appellant. We are afraid that the law is otherwise. We have<\/p>\n<p>already noticed the relevant provision governing the pleadings in this<\/p>\n<p>Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>            5. Unfortunately, the memorandum of grounds does not<\/p>\n<p>disclose the period for which the appellant&#8217;s tax liability was<\/p>\n<p>determined except a bald statement at paragraph 2 that &#8220;However a<\/p>\n<p>best judgment assessment was made by the 2nd respondent determining<\/p>\n<p>a total tax liability at Rs.33,97,779\/-&#8220;. Confronted with the question,<\/p>\n<p>the learned counsel for the appellant submits that the details are<\/p>\n<p>contained in the writ petition and he is of the opinion that since what is<\/p>\n<p>questioned is a garnishee order passed against the appellant pursuant<\/p>\n<p>to the assessment, the appellant need not disclose the further details of<\/p>\n<p>the assessment. We are afraid that such an understanding of the nature<\/p>\n<p>of the pleadings is wholly inconsistent with the law or the practice. In<\/p>\n<p>the circumstances, we decline to exercise our jurisdiction under Article<\/p>\n<p>W.A.No.1136 of 2010\n<\/p>\n<p>                                 &#8211; 5 &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>226 of the Constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n<p>            The writ appeal is therefore dismissed at the admission<\/p>\n<p>stage.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                           J.Chelameswar,<br \/>\n                                            Chief Justice<\/p>\n<p>                                            P.N.Ravindran,<br \/>\n                                              Judge<br \/>\nvns<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Asokan Vasu vs The Deputy &#8230; on 10 August, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WA.No. 1136 of 2010() 1.
