Mazhar Hasan Vs. Said Hasan

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-29-1908

Reported in: (1909)ILR31All38

Richards and Griffin, JJ.1. This application is connected with Criminal Revisions Nos. 220 and 221 of 1908.2. The facts are shortly a follows:Certain civil proceedings were proceeding in the Court of the Subordinate Judge. The suit was one by a Muhammadan lady for dower. In the course of the execution of a decree in that suit a compromise was filed on behalf of the lady by her vakil. The lady sent a complaint to the High Court, District Judge and the Subordinate Judge, alleging that the compromise had been filed contrary to her interest by her vakil in collusion with the other side. The Subordinate Judge apparently did not consider it necessary to take any steps as the result of the lady's communication. Her letter was unverified, and apparently not produced by a person duly authorized to produce it. The High Court sent the communication it received to the District Judge. The District Judge had the communication verified and sent it on to the Subordinate Judge for inquiry. It is quite ...

Makhan Lal and ors. Vs. Sagar Mal

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-28-1908

Reported in: (1909)ILR31All49

John Stanley, Kt., C.J. and Banerji, J.1. This appeal arises in a suit for partition of a rent free holding. Both the Courts below granted the plaintiff a decree. This appeal has been preferred by one of the defendants, Sagar Mal, and the only ground of appeal pressed before us is that in the case of a rent free grant, as of any other tenancy coming under the Agra Tenancy Act, a Civil or a Revenue Court is prohibited by Section 82, Clause (2), of the Act from entertaining a suit for partition. We are of opinion that this section does not apply to a rent free grantee. The section in question falls within Chapter II, which deals with the devolution, transfer and division of tenancies.' A tenant is defined in Section 4, Clause (5), and does not include a rent free grantee. A rent free grantee, as also a mortgagee of proprietary right, is by that definition expressly excluded. Consequently a rent free grant does not appear to us to be a 'holding' within the meaning of Section 32. The word ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-27-1908

Reported in: (1909)ILR31All48

Aikman and Karamat Husain, JJ.1. One Chhadammi Lal applied to the Munsif for sanction to prosecute the present applicants for an offence punishable under Section 193, Indian Penal Code. Sanction was refused by the Munsif. Chhadammi Lal then applied to the learned District Judge, who granted the sanction. The applicants have presented a petition which is headed as a 'Criminal Revision' against the order of the District Judge. It may be taken as decided by the Full Bench in Salig Ram v. Ramji Lal (1906) I.L.R. 28 All. 554 that this Court has no revisional powers on the criminal side to interfere with an order passed by a Civil Court granting sanction under the provisions of Section 195, Code of Criminal Procedure. We are bound by that ruling, and must therefore hold that we have no power of interference in revision. But it is contended that apart from the revisional powers conferred on this Court by Chapter XXXII of the Code of Criminal Procedure, we have power under Section 195, Clause ...

Jagar Nath Singh and anr. Vs. Sheo Ghulam Singh

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-27-1908

Reported in: 1Ind.Cas.704

1. This appeal arises out of a suit for a declaration that a share of certain zamindari property was not liable to be sold in execution of a decree obtained against a Hindu widow on foot of a mortgage executed by her. Musammat Raghubansa executed a mortgage in favour of the defendant Sheo Ghulam Singh and on foot of that mortgage Sheo Ghulam Singh obtained a decree for sale on the 1st of April 1905. After this date Musammat Ragbubansa died, and thereupon the appellants, who claimed to be the reversioners of the deceased owner, the husband of Musammat Raghubansa, were brought upon the record as the representatives of Musammat Raghubansa on an application under Section 89 of the Transfer of Property Act for an order absolute. They filed an objection to the sale on the ground that the mortgage was executed by Musammat Raghubansa without legal necessity. Their objection was disallowed, and thereupon the suit out of which this appeal has arisen was filed for a declaration that the property ...

Piari Lal Vs. Nand Ram and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-14-1908

Reported in: (1909)ILR31All19

John Stanley, Kt., C.J. and Banerji, J.1. This appeal arises out of a suit for sale of mortgaged property. It was dismissed under the following circumstances as barred by Section 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure. It appears that in the year 1880 the predecessors in title of some of the defendants and the other defendants executed a mortgage in favour of the predecessor of the plaintiff. A suit was brought upon this mortgage on the 21st of September 1882, in which a sale of the mortgaged property was claimed. The suit was compromised on the terms that a simple money decree only should be passed in favour of the plaintiffs and such, a decree was passed on the 27th of November 1882. The events which happened subsequent to the date of this compromise it is unnecessary for the purposes of the decision of this appeal to detail, suffice it to say that the amount due to the plaintiff on food of the compromise was not satisfied, or at least fully satisfied. Thereupon the suit out of which this...
