Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-27-1919

Reported in: AIR1919All206; 50Ind.Cas.677

P.C. Banerji, J.1. The suit which has given rise to this appeal was brought by Musammat Bashirunnisa and two purchasers from her for partition of two sihams out of eight sihams of property alleged to have belonged to one Khadim Ali. Bashtr-unnissa stated that she was the second wife of Khadim Ali and as such, was entitled to two sihams out of eight sihams. Khadim Ali died in May 1916 leaving no issue. The defendants are his brother and sisters. If Musammat Bashirunnisa was the widow of Khadim Ali she inherited the share claimed by the plaintiffs. The defendants, however, denied that Musammat Bashirunnissa was married to Khadim Ali and they stated that she lived with him as a servant and cook. They also raised a question as to the ownership of the houses claimed. The Court of first instance found in favour of the plaintiffs and decreed the claim. The defendants appealed and in their appeal in the lower Appellate Court the only question which they raised was whether it had been proved th...

Kishori Lal Vs. Kalean Khan and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-26-1919

Reported in: AIR1919All222(1); 50Ind.Cas.648

Lindsay, J.1. The applicant here, who was the plaintiff in the Court of first instance, has been unfortunate in the trial of his case. The case was instituted in the Court of Small Causes and was under the orders of the District Judge, transferred for disposal to a Bench of Honorary Munsifs. The whole procedure of the Munsifs, after the case came to their cognizance, is a chapter of errors resulting apparently in considerable hardship to the plaintiff The plaintiff took certain measures in order to secure a proper order from the Bench and he succeeded so far, that the Bench of Munsifs, acting under the directions of the Judge of the Small Cause Court, passed what purported to be an amended decree in favour of the plaintiff. One of the defendants then went in appeal to the District Judge, who has held that the Munsifs had no authority to amend the decree and consequently he has set aside their order. Tie plaintiff now attacks the order of the learned District Judge, on the ground that h...

Saghir-un-nissa Bibi Vs. Muhammad Subhan-ullah

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-21-1919

Reported in: (1919)ILR61All562

1. This appeal arises out of a suit in which the plaintiff sued her husband to recover the sum of Rs. 35,000 being the balance of dower alleged to be due by the defendant to the plaintiff. It appears that the parties were married a considerable time ago and the plaintiff has borne four sons to her husband. She alleges in her plaint that about 7 or 8 years ago her husband contracted an intimacy with another woman and from that time he took very little interest in her. She contends that her dower was the sum of Rs. 1,25,000, but she admits that a considerable amount of this sum has already been satisfied by transferring certain property. She says that the whole of her dower was prompt, and therefore she is entitled to recover the balance. The defendant contended that her dower was only Rs. 14,000; that there was no settlement as to how much of the dower should be prompt, and that in no event should the plaintiff be allowed to recover any further sum having regard to the fact that he had ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-21-1919

Reported in: AIR1919All280; 50Ind.Cas.740

1. This appeal arises out of a suit in which the plaintiff sued her husband to recover the sum of Rs. 35,000, being the balance of dower alleged to be due by the defendant to the plaintiff. It appears that the parties were married a considerable time ago and the plaintiff has borne four sons to her husband. She alleges in her plaint that about 7 or 8 years ago her husband contracted an 'intimacy' with another woman and from that time on he took very little interest in her. She contends that her dower was the sum of Rs. 1,25,000, but she admits that a considerable amount of this sura has already been satisfied by transferring certain property. She says that the whole of her dower was prompt, and, therefore, she is entitled to recover the balance. The defendant contended that her dower was only Rs. 14,000; that there was no settlement as, to how much of the dower should be prompt, and that in no event should the plaintiff be allowed to recover any further sum having regard to the fact th...

Gur DIn Vs. Emperor

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-15-1919

Reported in: AIR1919All158; 50Ind.Cas.992

Henry Richards, C.J.1. This is a reference by the learned Sessions Judge of Dehra Dun re-commending under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure that the conviction and sentence passed against Gurdin should be set aside. It appears that some shrubs in the compound of a house formed an obstruction at a certain corner of a public road which was considered dangerous to motorists and others using that road. The Officer Commanding the station wrote to the Cantonment Magistrate suggesting that steps should be taken to remove the obstruction. The learned Cantonment Magistrate gave a verbal order to a Mali to lop the shrubs. The Mali said that he would speak to the head Mali and the head Mali was the accused Gurdin. It is proved that this verbal order was communicated to Gurdin who disobeyed or disregarded the order, probably acting under instructions from the owner of the compound. Thereupon a charge was made against Gurdin under Section 288 of the Cantonment Code for not having compli...

Lala Darbari Lal Vs. Roshan Lal

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-13-1919

Reported in: AIR1919All328; 52Ind.Cas.32

Piggot, J.1. The question raised by this application is one of jurisdiction. The Court below was asked to consider this point and remarked that the town of Hathras, where the parties reside and where the property in suit is situated, is now, and was on the date of the order under consideration, within the jurisdiction of that Court as Subordinate Judge of Aligarh. If this statement is correct, it is conclusive of the question raised by the application for revision. There is nothing to show that the statement is not correct, and so far as one can gather from such orders as have been issued by this Court, the intention of the Court always was that the work of the Aligarh district should go to the Subordinate Judge and the work of the two districts in the judgeship, namely, Etah and Bulandshahar, to the Additional Subordinate Judge. We do not think any case is made out for interference. We dismiss this application.Walsh, J.2. I agree. I only want to add a word or two in consequence of the...
