Sarnam Kunwari and anr. Vs. Raghunath Kunwari

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-25-1912

Reported in: 16Ind.Cas.187

1. This appeal arises out of a suit brought by Musammat Raghunath Kunwari, respondent, for possession of certain property which originally belonged to her father, Ram Autar Sahi, who died in 1832, leaving him surviving Musammat Genda Kunwari, his widow, Musammat Sheonath Kunwari and Raghunath Kunwari, his daughters, and a third daughter, Jailakh Kunwari, whose son is Ram Saran Pal alias Chillupal. Jailakh Kunwari is dead and so are Genda Kunwari and Sheonath Kunwari. On the 6th of April 1890, Musammat Genda Kunwari executed a deed of gift in favour of Musammat Sheonath Kunwari and to that deed of gift Raghunath Kunwari, the plaintiff, and Ram Saran Pal, the son of Jailakh Kunwari, were parties as executants so that these persons consented to the gift made by Genda Kunwari, who was the only person entitled at that time to the estate of her husband, Ram Autar Sahi. Genda Kunwari died in 1897, and Sheonath Kunwari died on the 20th of April 1902. Jhanakraj Kunwari, the mother-in-law of She...

Narayan Das and anr. Vs. the East Indian Railway Co.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-25-1912

Reported in: 16Ind.Cas.369

1. The facts connected with, this appeal are shortly as follows: Plaintiffs or their agents consigned certain bars of silver for delivery at Allahabad to the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company at Bombay. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company delivered the box intact to, the East Indian Railway at Jubbulpore. When the box was delivered to the plaintiffs or their agents at Allahabad, it was found that one silver bar was missing, valued by the plaintiffs at Rs. 2,044-12-0. There can be no doubt that the silver bar was stolen in the course of its transit between Jubbulpore and Allahabad, either by one or more of the Companies' servants or by an outsider. As to how it was stolen, there appears to be No. evidence. Section 75 of the Railways Act of 1890 provides that when certain articles mentioned in the Schedule II are contained in any parcel or package delivered to the Railway for carriage, and the value of such articles exceeds Rs. 100, the Railway shall not be responsible for th...

Emperor Vs. Paimal Nai

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-24-1912

Reported in: 17Ind.Cas.571

George Knox, J.1. Paimal Nai is reported to have been arrested by the Police acting under Section 54 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. He was arrested as being a person who had been concerned in a cognizable offence or against whom a reasonable complaint had been made or credible information received or reasonable suspicion existed of his having been SO concerned. The offence is apparently theft or possession of stolen property belonging to one Mohan.2. The value of this information or suspicion may be appraised from the fact that when he was arrested, no attempt whatever was made to charge him with the offence. The Police, instead, had resort to Section 110 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and they placed Paimal before a Magistrate with a view of action being taken under that section. They appear to have given the Magistrate some information of the vaguest possible description that Paimal had been concerned in several cases, that he was in the habit of consorting with bad characters...

Khurshed-un-nissa Vs. Alim-un-nissa

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-22-1912

Reported in: 17Ind.Cas.868

1. This and the connected Appeal No. 1386 of 1911, arise out of one and the same preemption suit. The claim is based upon a custom of pre-emption. The plaintiff challenged the accuracy of the price entered in the sale-deed. The Court of first instance held that the custom was proved and the consideration entered in the sale-deed was correct. It granted a decree conditional on the plaintiff paying into Court the amount of the purchase-money within one month. The plaintiff appealed against that decree simply in regard to the condition laid down by the Court of first instance as to the payment of the purchase-money. The defendant also appealed against the decree pleading that the plaintiff had failed to establish the custom. By the time the appeals came on for hearing in the Court below, the one month allowed in the original decree had elapsed. The plaintiff had not paid into Court the amount as ordered by that decree. The lower Appellate Court there upon held that as he had failed to do ...

Gopi Nath and ors. Vs. Ishri Prasad

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-19-1912

Reported in: (1912)ILR34All631

Richards, C.J., and Tudball, J.1. Ram Bakhsh and Ors. mortgaged certain property to the present respondents on the 21st of August, 1894. On the 30th of May, 1896, they mortgaged the same property to Bindraban. Both mortgage-deeds were unregistered. Bindraban brought a suit for sale on his mortgage and purchased the property himself in execution of his decree. His son sold the property to Bal Kishan. The latter's heir sold it to Ishri Prasad, the present appellant. It must be clearly noted here, that though Bindraban purchased at the auction sale the right, title and interest of his mortgagors, what was sold to Ishri Prasad by the heir of Bal Kishan was the full right of ownership and not the mere right, title and interest of the transferor. An examination of Ishri Prasad's sale-deed makes this clear. That sale-deed was registered. Ishri Prasad's vendor was the full owner if the mortgage of the 21st of August, 1894, was out of the way, but we may assume for the purposes of this appeal t...

Emperor Vs. Lalta Prasad

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-18-1912

Reported in: (1912)ILR34All654

George Knox, J.1. A forgery is alleged to have been committed with reference to deed of sale. From the deed it would appear that if a forgery was committed it was committed on or about the 8th of September, 1911. At that time no proceedings were pending with reference to this particular document. The District Magistrate of Bareilly has, by an order, dated the 16th of February, 1912, directed the prosecution of Lalta Prasad for forgery and made the case over to one Mr. Karar Husain, for hearing. An objection is raised to this order based upon Section 195, Clause (c), of the Code of Criminal Procedure.2. It is true that the Magistrate has not stated under what Section he has directed the prosecution, but a prosecution for forgery would ordinarily run under Section 463 of the Indian Penal Code. As I read Section 195, Clause (c), courts are prohibited from taking cognizance of an offence described in Section 463 when such offence has been committed by a party to any proceeding in any court...
