.....cases. 3. The present Bill seeks to achieve these objects.-Gaz. of Ind., 3-8- 19S9, Pt. II, S. 2, Ext., P. 579. Amending Act 34 of 1964.- The Wakf Act, 1954 was enacted to provide for the better administration and supervision of wakfs. The Act was amended in 1959 for the limited purpose of removing certain difficulties arising out of reorganisation of States. Experience of the working of the Act over the last ten years has revealed certain difficulties. It is, therefore, proposed to amend the Act to remove these difficulties and to ensure better administration of wakfs by mutawallis, 2. The main features of the Bill are: (i) The definition of beneficiary in regard to objects of public utility is being broadened to cover all objects obtained by Muslim law. Endowments made by nun-Muslims for support of certain Muslim religious and pious institutions will also come under the purview of the Act. (ii) A Central Wakf Council is proposed to be established. (iii) A provision is being made to enable the establishment of separate Sunni and Shia Boards in any State in which the Shia Wakfs constitute in number more than fifteen per cent. of the total number of wakfs In that State or the.....

Carriers Act, 1865 Complete Act

State: Central

Year: 1865

.....from responsibility is desirable or was intended. If. however, the word "only" be supplied after "anwerable" in the last line but three of the extract from the Railways Actas printed above, the Section becomes intelligible. It limits the liability of Railways Companies to the consequences of gross negligence or misconduct on the part of their agents or servants but declares that from this liability so limited they shall not be allowed to relieve themselves by any kind of contract. There cannot indeed be much doubt that the intention of the Legislature was to place all Railway Companies in what was once supposed to be the exact position of a carrier who had contracted for himself as favourably as the law of England would permit. It was, in fact. long supposed in England that. while a carrier could by contract relieve himself from most of his liabilities, his power of doing so slopped short of liability for negligence or misconduct. Such is the view of the law taken by Mr.Justice Storey in his "Commentaries on the Law of Bailnients" section 549. and such is under stood to be still the law in America. But a series of decisions in the English Courts overturned the older doctrine,.....

.....demoralising influence upon his character by inducing him to have recourse to dishonest subterfuges like benami transactions. Likewise, the present rule is not favourable to the growth of self-reliance among the dependent members of the family. In a rich family, it offers a premium to extravagance, idleness and perpetual discord. Its injustice is manifestly galling. Take, e.g., a case in which a father has three sons and incurs the same expenditure on their education. He sends them all to England to be educated for the 1.C.S. One is successful, the other two fail. Of the two who fail, one takes to trade, the other is unwilling to do any work and remains idle. The trader earns a large fortune, which the present law allows him to keep to himself, because his education in England was for the Civil Service and not for trade. But, out of the earnings of the Civilian, two shares are claimed, one by the trader and the other by the brother who has been idle. The trader keeps his own earnings and also takes a share of the Civilian's earnings. Take again a case in which three brothers are given by their father the same education for the same profession and at the same cost. Though they.....

.....married before 1st January 1866; secondly to declare that a married woman may sue in her own name for any property which by force of the Succession Act, or the proposed Act, is her separate property; thirdly, to relieve the husband of a wife married after the 31st December 1865, from her ante-nuptial debts; and, lastly, to declare that any person entering into a contract with a wife (otherwise than as her husband's agent), shall be entitled to sue her, and, to the extent of her separate property, to recover against her whatever he might have recovered had she been unmarried. Clause 4 (as to a wife's wages and earnings) is equivalent to the Married Women's Property Act (33 and 34 Vic., Chap. 93) section one. Clause 6 is copied from the first paragraph of section ten of that Act. It declares that any married woman may effect a policy of insurance on her own life or on her husband's life, on her own behalf, and that the amount assured shall be her separate property. As the law stands, if a wife effects such a policy (otherwise than out of her separate estate), and dies in her husband's lifetime, the husband, in the capacity of her administrator, becomes the absolute owner of the.....

.....form of wakf-al-aulad, that is a bequest for the benefit of the testator's descendants. As such, it contravenes the law against perpetuities as enacted in Section 14 of the Transfer of Property Act, and.Section 114 of the Indian Succession Act. A doubt was cast on this doctrine by the Privy Council in several cases in which their Lordships held such bequests illegal as obnoxious to the rule against perpetuities As Act 6 of 1913 was merely declaratory of the validity of such wakfs, it was understood that it would apply equally to all wakfs whether created before or since that enactment. But as the Courts have held otherwise, this Bill is framed to give that Act retrospective operation. It is apprehended that Mussalman Wakf Validating Act (6 of 1913) was not intended to introduce a change in the old law being enacted to restore the old rule. This Bill will, if passed, carry out its intention by resolving a doubt resulting from recent cases." -Gazette of India, 1929, Pat V, p. 240. EXTRACT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE REPORT "Clause 1.- This Bill is designed to give retrospective effect to the Mussalman Wakf Validating Act, 1913, which has already been in operation without retrospective.....
