The facts are these. The said shop belonged to two brothers, Bhagwan Das and Chhote Lal, who mortgaged it to Matru Mal and Basdeo in 1903.

Basant Deo Vs. Keshal Deo and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-30-1909

Reported in: 2Ind.Cas.853

Karamat Husain, J.1. This was a suit for ejectment of the defendants from a house on the allegation that the plaintiff was the sole owner of the house and that the defendants had been living therein as his licensees. The pleas in defence were that the house was ancestral that they were living in it as joint owners and that the sale deed dated 4th October 1885 executed by Moti Ram in favour of the plaintiff was fictitious. The learned Munsif dismissed the suit and his decree was affirmed by the lower appellate Court. The only point for determination before the lower appellate Court as appears from its judgment was whether the plaintiff was or was not the sole owner of the house. That Court came to the conclusion that the house in dispute was jointly owned and possessed by the parties. The plaintiff has preferred a second appeal to this Court and two points have been argued by his learned vakil. The first is that the judgment of the District Judge dated the 6th June 1905 in miscellaneous...

Ardeshirji Framji and anr. Vs. Babu Kalyan Das

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-29-1909

Reported in: 3Ind.Cas.46

1. This appeal arises out of proceedings relating to the execution of a decree. The facts are briefly as follows. The respondent obtained an ex parte decree against the appellants on the 8th of January 1909. The appellants applied to the Court to set aside the ex parte decree and to rehear the case. This matter came up for decision on the 27th of March 1909. The appellants it appears are residents of Bombay. The suit was in the Court of the Subordinate Judge of Benares. Apparently for the purpose of looking after their case the appellants proceeded to Benares and there put up at a Dak bungalow. They attended Court on the 27th of March, the case was heard and their application was dismissed. They left the Court, returned to the Dak bungalow and thence proceeded to the Railway Station. In the meantime the decree-holder had applied for execution of the decree and for the arrest of his judgment-debtors. Warrants were issued and the appellants 'were arrested when actually seated in the trai...

Riazul Hasan Vs. Emperor

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-27-1909

Reported in: 4Ind.Cas.260

Richards, J.1. This is an application in Revision to set aside an order of the Munsif directing the prosecution of the applicant. The learned Munsif purports to act under Section 476 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It is argued by the learned Counsel on behalf of the applicant that the proceedings under Section 476 were quite too late. The civil case, in the course of which the offence is alleged to have been committed, was decided on the 21st of December, 1908, and the prosecution was not directed until the 3rd of April, 1909. The learned Counsel contends that action under Section 476 must be taken during the course of the trial or immediately afterwards, and in support of his argument he has cited Bahimatulla Sahib v. Emperor 31 M. 140 (F.B.); 3 M.L.T. 79; 17 M.L.J. 584; 7 Cr. L.J.54 also Aiyakannu Pillai v. Emperor 32 M.49 F.B.; 19 M.L.J. 42; 4 M.L.T. 404; 1 Ind. Cas. 597; 9 Cr. L.J. 46. The Benches in these two cases were not quite unanimous, and the view taken by the majority o...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-26-1909

Reported in: (1909)ILR31All612

Tudball, J.1. The facts of the case out of which this appeal has arisen are these:2. The parties are neighbours, their houses adjoining. The defendant appellant's house lies north of that of the plaintiff-respondent. In the year 1896 the latter building was the property of a person from whom the plaintiff has subsequently purchased. Both houses then were single-storied buildings. The northern boundary of the southern house was the south wall of the northern house. Between this wall and the actual building of the southern house was an open bit of land, forming a courtyard of the latter. On this bit of land two water-spouts discharged the rain water which fell upon the roof of the defendant's house.3. The plaintiff's vendor wished to extend his building up to the wall of his neighbour and to support the roof of the extension by fixing his beams into the defendant's wall, He appears to have approached his neighbour and they came to an agreement evidenced by the document of 10th March, 189...
