Mojiz Fatima and ors. Vs. Saiyad Ali Akbar

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-16-1920

Reported in: 56Ind.Cas.112

1. This was a suit by three co-sharers against a Lambardar for profits. One minor complication we may dispose of at once. While the second appeal-was pending in this Court, one of the three plaintiffs, by name Musammat Amir Begam, has com-promised with the defendant Lambardar. In the compromise it is stated that Musumwaf Amir Begam's claim on account of the profits of her share has been completely settled out of Court and she is content that the appeal, in so far as it relates to her share, be dismissed without any order as to costs. This order will be noted when we come to pass the final decree of this Court. The remaining two plaintiffs, who are entitled each to a one tenth share in the divisible profits of this Mahal, have elected to proceed with their appeal and it will have to be decided in respect of the shares of these two plaintiffs. We have come with reluctance to the conclusion that it is impossible for us to decide the appeal without more specific findings' from the Court be...

Reported in: (1920)ILR42All402

Tudball and Muhammad Rafiq, JJ.1. This and the connected appeal No. 27 of 1917 arise out of two suits for preemption brought by two pre-emptors Hardeo Sahai and Sheobaran Singh, on the basis of a sale, dated the 8th of December, 1914. The facts of the case are as follows:One Rai Bahadur Sri Kishan Das was the owner of the property in dispute which is a 15 biswa share in the village of Gokalpur Piplot. This man became insolvent.

The sale was originally fixed by the auctioneers for the 25th of October, 1914, at Aligarh. The village in question is a village lying in the Aligarh district.

Pramada Charan Banerji, J.1. This application for revision has arisen under the following circumstances. The plaintiff applicant brought a suit, against the first two defendants for their ejectment from a house.

This application was granted and the aforesaid parsons were added as defendants. After issues were framed and a certain amount of evidence was recorded, the two persons aforesaid made an application to the court to stay proceedings under Section 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure, inasmuch as there had been a suit between them and the plaintiff and others in regard to the title of those defendants in respect of this and other property; that th...

Mahant Ram Saran Das Vs. Hari Kishen Koeri

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-13-1920

Reported in: AIR1920All188; 58Ind.Cas.511

P.C. Banerji, J.1. This application for revision is untenable.2. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant, who is the landlord, granted him a lease of certain land; that he was in possession under the lease; that he had grown crops on the land, and that the defendant wrong-fully out down and misappropriated the crops. He claimed the value of the crops as damages. The suit was clearly cognizable by the Civil Court. The plaintiff did not allege wrongful dispossession and the suit was not a suit for compensation for wrongful dispossession. The plaintiff is in possession and all that he claims is the value of the crops which the defendant forcibly ant down. The suit, not being one for compensation for wrongful dispossession, could not be brought in the Revenue Court under Section 79 of the Tenancy Act. I dismiss the application with costs....

Emperor Vs. Buddhu and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-12-1920

Reported in: (1920)ILR42All401

Knox, J.1. Buddhu and Juggan, who have .been convicted of an offence under Section 498 of the Indian Penal Code, have put in an application praying for revision of their sentences. In their application they have called particular attention to the fact that the conviction under Section 498 of the Indian Penal Code cannot be sustained inasmuch as it has not been strictly proved that marriage and all necessary rites were duly celebrated between the complainant and the woman in question. They have also pointed out that the mere statement of the husband that he is married to the woman is not sufficient to sustain a conviction. This Court, in Queen-Empress v. Dal Singh (1897) I.L.R. 20 All. 166, has laid down that a court trying a case under Section 498 of the Indian Penal Code should require some better evidence of the marriage than the mere statement of the complainant and the Woman. There appears to be no evidence of a better kind in this case. I set aside, the conviction and sentence and...

Emperor Vs. Mangat and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-12-1920

Reported in: AIR1920All135; 57Ind.Cas.82

George Knox, J.1. The learned Sessions Judge, after examining the record of the case of King Emperor v. Mangat and others tried by S. Ahmed Ali, a Magistrate of the first class, has found, that two opposing parties of a riot had been tried in one and the same trial. The learned Sessions Judge considers this is illegal as the two parties could have no common object and the trial, therefore, was bad. 'One party has appealed,' continues the learned Sessions Judge, 'and Under Section 423 of the Criminal Procedure Code, I have ordered them to be retried. The opposite party, Mangat, Sangat, Phemdi Pirbhu, and Sullar, have not appealed. In view of the ruling reported as Empress v. Jaimal A.W.N. (1883) 163. I report their case to the Hon'ble High Court for orders.' It is to be feared that the learned Sessions Judge has taken a too perfunctory view of the case. It is a mistake which often is made. Under Section 239, Criminal Procedure Code, when more persons than one are accused of the same off...
