Sheonandan's case was that the holding had been mortgaged to certain mortgagees who had sub-let the land to Ram Lagan Singh, that the mortgage had been redeemed, that Ram Lagan Singh remained on as a sub-tenant and that he was liable for arrears of rent.

Tudball, J.1. The applicant has come to this Court on revision in the following circumstances: - There is a certain house which is in dispute between him and the opposite party and he applied to a Magistrate to take action under Section 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Kundan Lal Vs. Jagannath

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-09-1915

Reported in: (1915)ILR37All649

Henry Richards, C.J. and Rafiq, J.1. This appeal arises out of a suit upon foot of a simple money bond, dated the 10th of September, 1910. The defendant pleaded payment. The court of first instance decreed the plaintiff's claim. The lower appellate court found that the defendant had made a payment by a cheque; that the plaintiff had not made any appropriation of the payment, and that accordingly the payment should be credited to the earliest debt then due by the defendant to the plaintiff which was the bond sued upon. The lower court says that the way the accounts were kept between the plaintiff and the defendant was that on the one side all advances made by the plaintiff to the defendant were, entered and on the other side all the payments that were made to the plaintiff by the defendant. He seems to have been prepared to hold that from the way the account was kept the plaintiff must be deemed to have from time to time appropriated the payments to the earliest debts. The case, however...

Seth Chand Mal Vs. Sarju and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-08-1915

Reported in: AIR1915All428(2); 30Ind.Cas.70

Chamier, J.1. In this case the tenant of an occupancy holding executed a mortgage in favour of the defendants in September 1901, that is, after the passing of the present Tenancy Act. The mortgage was, therefore, invalid. The plaintiff, who is the zemindar, might have taken action under Section 31 of the Tenancy Act, but he did not do so. He accepted rent from the so-called mortgagees for several years and lie has now brought tin's suit to have them ejected from the holding. Meanwhile in 1011 the occupancy tenant relinquished his holding. According to the decisions of this Court the occupancy tenancy has come to an end. The defendants are certainly not occupancy tenants and it appears to me that, they cannot call themselves mortgagees, in the events which have happened, it appears to mo that the defendants are the tenants of the plaintiff and may be ejected by him. was referred to two cases supposed to hear more or less on the present case, namely, Ram Sarup v. Kishan Lal 4 A.L.J. 306 ...
