Musammat Bakhti Kuar and ors. Vs. Pandit Ganga Prasad

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-10-1920

Reported in: 63Ind.Cas.226

1. This is an appeal by the defendants in a suit for ejectment. The land in suit was at one time grove land situated in the neighbourhood of the city of Cawnpore. It is now waste land which, according to the finding of the learned District Judge, has wholly lost the character of a grove. This Ending does not seem to be challenged in the memorandum of appeal before us, but in any case it is obviously correct. On the pleadings it was admitted that the plaintiff was the Zemindar of the land and that the defendants entered into possession as tenants of the plaintiff. The possession of the defendant, therefore, was that of grove-holders. They have been cutting down the trees and building houses. The suit in ejectment is brought on the ground that a cause of action for the ejeetment of the defendants accrued to the plaintiff when the land entirely lost the character of a grove, The learned District Judge has held that this happened well within twelve years of the institution of the suit, so ...

Sham Das Vs. Bahadur Singh and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-09-1920

Reported in: (1921)ILR43All325; 60Ind.Cas.831a

Muhammad Rafiq and Ryves, JJ.1. It appears that Hanuman Prasad was the zamindar of the village of Bamni. Sham Das, alleging himself to be the rent-free grantee of certain plots situate in that village, sued one Shibban for the recovery of rent, describing him as a sub-tenant. The latter pleaded that he was the tenant of Hanuman Prasad, the zamindar, and had in good faith paid the amount to him on the 1st of July, 1916. The rent court allowed the plea in defence and dismissed the claim of Sham Das. Thereupon the latter brought the suit out of which this appeal has arisen for the recovery of Rs. 37, principal and interest, the amount of the rent realized by Hanuman Prasad. Hanuman Prasad died before the institution of the suit. It was brought against his legal representatives. Sham Das alleged in his plaint that he was a rent-free grantee of the plots of which rent had been realized by Hanuman Prasad and that he (Sham Das) had been in possession for a number of years and had acquired pro...

Babu Ram Vs. Shankar Lal

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-09-1920

Reported in: (1921)ILR43All330

Piggott and Walsh, JJ.1. The defendant in this case was the tenant of the plaintiff in respect of a certain shop with buildings appertaining to the same. The suit was one in ejectment against the defendant, and the courts below have differed on the question whether a certain notice served by the plaintiff on the defendant was valid to terminate the tenancy, under the provisions of Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, No. IV of 1882. The first court held that it was not, and that consequently the plaintiff was not entitled to a decree for ejectment, or to any decree except one for arrears of rent. The lower appellate court has held that the notice was valid to terminate the tenancy and has remanded the case to the first court, because on this view of the matter there remain other questions to be determined before a final decree could be passed, The appeal before us is against the order of remand. One point taken is that, inasmuch as the law requires a notice expiring with the en...

Pramada Charan Banerji and Gokul Prasad, JJ.1. This appeal arises out of an application for a final decree in a mortgage suit. The application which is now the subject matter of controversy was presented on the 12th of June, 1917. The question is whether this application was time-barred.
