Bindesri and After His Death Bhagwan Das and anr. Vs. Ganga Prasad

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-26-1919

Reported in: AIR1919All55; 54Ind.Cas.428

Lindsay, J.1. I have listened to the arguments in this case and have made up my mind that the application should be dismissed. I may say at once that the case being a case under Section 25 of the Provincial Small Cause Court Act, I should not be disposed to interfere unless the law obliges me to. The suit was a suit for Rs. 4740. It was tried in the Court of a Munsif, who admittedly was possessed of Small Cause Court powers up to a limit of Rs. 50. The Munsif, however, tried the suit as a regular suit and gave a decree in favour of the defendants. The plaintiff appealed and the appeal was heard by the Subordinate Judge of Mirzapur. He reversed the decision of the Court below and gave a decree in favour of the plaintiff. Now we have this application in revision, in which it is contended on behalf of the defendants that no appeal lay to the Court below and that the order of the Subordinate Judge is void as having been passed without jurisdiction, The way the case was put on behalf of the...

Ahmad Nur Khan Vs. Abdur Rahman Khan and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-25-1919

Reported in: (1920)ILR42All191

Lindsay and Ryves, JJ.1. This appeal has arisen out of proceedings which were taken in the court below under the provisions of paragraph 17, Clause 1, of the second schedule to the Code of Civil Procedure.2. It seems that there was some dispute between the members of two families descended from two brothers, Bala Khan and Ahmad Nur Khan. A suit relating to this dispute was filed in court and while the suit was proceeding the parties executed an agreement on the 20th of March, 1915, agreeing to refer their dispute to the arbitration of Khan Bahadur Abdur Rahman Khan. The result of the execution of this agreement was that the suit was withdrawn and the arbitrator took upon himself the duty of investigating into and deciding the dispute between the parties. On various dates in the year 1916, the arbitrator examined witnesses and finally the case came up before him again on the 13th of March, 1917. On that date he was informed that one of the parties to the dispute, namely, Akhtar-ud-din K...

Mahadei Vs. Beni Prasad and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-25-1919

Reported in: (1920)ILR42All214

Piggott, J.1. This is an application in revision which has been referred to a Bench of two Judges for orders. As I am particularly anxious that I should not be quoted as having decided anything beyond what I think it necessary to decide in order to dispose of this matter, I would state what seem to me to be the essential facts now before us. A magistrate received information that a dispute likely to cause a breach of the peace existed con-corning certain immovable property, namely, a house, within his jurisdiction. He took proceedings in due form under Section 145 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and came to the decision that possession over the entire house was with the present applicant Musammat Mahadei and that she was entitled to be maintained in that possession unless and until a competent court otherwise decided. In so far as he passed an order to the above effect, the case is altogether outside the revisional jurisdiction of this Court. It appears, however, that when he was pre...
