Chamier, J.1.

Salle Vs. Mohan Lal

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-08-1915

Reported in: AIR1915All316; 29Ind.Cas.447

Piggott, J.1. The plaintiff in this case, Salle, and the defendant, Mohan Lal, were joint holders of a simple money-decree for Rs. 70-12-0 against one Khet Singh. A zemindari share belonging to Khet Singh was attached in execution of the decree and put up for sale. It appears that at one stage both the decree-holders had obtained permission of the Court to bid; but this permission lapsed in consequence of the postponement of the sale. Later on Mohan Lal alone applied for permission to oid and, having received it, he became the certified purchaser of the share in question, at an auction-sale held on the 21st of July 1902, for a sum of Rs. 60. He seems to have certified to the executing Court the receipt of Rs. 60 in part satisfaction of the decree. Formal possession was delivered to Mohan Lal on the 28th of July 1903. In the present suit, filed on the 23rd of July 1913, Salle claimed possession of the share in question in accordance with an oral agreement set up by him, to the effect th...

Chamier and Piggott, JJ.1. This is an application for revision of an order of the Additional Subordinate Judge of Gorakhpur rejecting an appeal by the appellant on the ground that the suit out of which it arose was a Small Cause Court suit, and therefore no appeal lay. The facts are that the suit was instituted in the court of a Munsif who had been invested under Section 25 of the Bengal, N.W.P. and Assam Civil Courts Act, No. XII of 1887, with the jurisdiction of a Judge of a Court of Small Causes up to a certain pecuniary limit. The suit was registered on the Small Cause -Court side. Sometime after the written statement had been filed the Munsif went on leave and was succeeded by an officer who had not been invested with the jurisdiction of a Judge of a Court of Small Causes. The latter officer passed an order transferring to the regular side all Small Cause Court suits which he found pending in the court and tried them out as regular suits. One of those suits was the suit out of whi...
