Prayag Sonar and anr. Vs. Motar Singh and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jun-08-1914

Reported in: AIR1914All160; 24Ind.Cas.624

Piggott, J.1. This is an appeal by the two defendants against whom the Courts below have given the plaintiff, Motar Singh, a decree for possession of a certain house by ejectment of the defendants. The parties were at issue in the Courts below upon a number of questions of fact and it is important to note precisely what the findings of the lower Appellate Court have been on those questions. Those findings I take to be as follows : that the house in suit belonged to one Saheb Dutt Singh, who died about 20 years before the institution of the suit leaving him surviving a widow, Musammat Jiachha, who entered into possession of this house along with other party of her late husband having a limited interest therein as a Hindu widow. Musammat Jiaehha let this house to the defendants-appellants, not for any specified cash rent, but upon the understanding that the defendants were to maintain her while they occupied the house. The lady died about ten years before the institution of the suit, and...

Reported in: (1914)ILR36All549

Chamier and Muhammad Rafiq, JJ.1. Lachman Das was adjudicated insolvent on the 6th of December, 1912. He appears to have made a mortgage of his property on the 11th of April, 1912. The receiver appointed in the insolvency proceedings made a report to the District Judge suggesting that this mortgage should be annulled under Section 36 of the Act, On the 23rd of January, 1913, the District Judge asked the Munsif of Pilibhit to hold an inquiry and report whether the mortgage was made bona fide or not. The Munsif after taking evidence reported that the mortgage had been made bond fide. The District Judge accepted his finding and held that the mortgage must stand. The Act makes no provision for the reference of such a matter to a subordinate court. The District Judge alone had jurisdiction in the matter and should himself decide upon such evidence as may be available whether or not action should be taken to have the mortgage set aside. The District Judge should give the receiver and the cre...

Sita Ram Vs. Subheda Kuar

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jun-05-1914

Reported in: AIR1914All551(2); 24Ind.Cas.695

P.C. Banerji, J.1. The facts of the case out of which this appeal arises are these. One Musammat Subachani obtained a decree in the Court of Small Causes at Cawnpore against one Baldeo Singh. After the death of Baldeo Singh she applied for execution of the decree and prayed that the present plaintiff, Musammat Subheda Kuar, be declared to be the legal representative of the deceased. Subheda Kuar objected denying that she was such legal representative. Her objection was allowed on February 2, 1902, and the Court held that she was not the legal representative of the deceased Baldeo Singh. Tin's order became final, but inspite of it the present appellant applied for execution of the decree in 1905 and in his application named the plaintiff as the legal representative of the deceased. I am informed that he made the application for execution not as the legal representative of Subachan Kuar who had in the meantime died, but on the allegation that he was the real owner of the decree. Executio...

Chamier, J.1. This appeal arises in a suit brought by the respondents for an alleged balance of purchase money and interest thereon.2. On July 21st, 1909, the respondents sold some zemindari property to the appellant for Rs. 15,000. Part of the property had been sold in execution of a decree and it was intended that the appellant should get the execution sale set aside. But it was discovered that according to Order XXI, Rule 89, as then interpreted neither the vendors nor the purchaser could get the sale set aside.
