Musammat Aliman Begam Vs. Ali Hasan and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-07-1923

Reported in: 73Ind.Cas.1029

1. This appeal arises out of a suit brought by the plaintiff-appellant on the ground of pre-emption under the Muhammadan Law. The claim was decreed by the Court of first instance. The Appellate Court, however, took a different view, and dismissed the claim. The ground upon Which the Appellate Court dismissed the claim was, that the second demand, known under the Muhammdadan Law as 'talab-i- istishhad' was not carried out by the plaintiff-appellant as required by the Muhammadan Law. It appears that the vendees were husband and wife. The pre-emptor went to the house of the vendees and sent for the husband, who came out. In the presence of the witnesses the pre-emptor made a second demand, the husband list end to it. The wife was admittedly not present at the time when the second demand was made. The Muhammadan Law requires that the second demand should be made either in the presence of the vendor or the vendee or on the property, that is the subject of pre-emption. The singular words, 'v...

Chhabbu Lal Vs. Ram Chandar and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-06-1923

Reported in: (1923)ILR45All445

Ryves and Daniels, JJ.1. This appeal raises an interesting and difficult question. Chhabbu Lal, the plaintiff, sued his cousin, Ram Chandar, and the two sons of Ram Chandar for partition of the joint family property. The parties are descended from a common ancestor, Ganga Prasad, who was a pragwal. The family property consisted of land, houses and birt jajmani. The defendants admitted that the family had been joint and that the plaintiff was entitled to partition but pleaded that a partition had, in fact, already taken place and that a suit would not lie for a second partition. With regard to the birt jajmani the defendants pleaded that, it had already been partitioned in the only way in which partition was possible, that is to say, it had been agreed to divide the income. In this appeal we are only concerned with two items: (1) a certain house built on land bounded by the letters B.C.H.E. on the map on the record and (2) the birt jajmani. Dealing with the second item first, the trial ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-06-1923

Reported in: AIR1923All451; 73Ind.Cas.1030

Gokul Prasad, J.1. It appears that one Tajammul Husain owned a one-anna-six-pie Zemindari share and was in cultivatory possession of certain plots of sir land. He made a gift of one-anna-two-pie share to Wali Muhammad, Musammat Butan Bibi and Musammat Majidan Bibi. The defendant, Tufail Ahmad, is an heir of Musam-m%t Majidan Bibi. Later on, he sold the remaining four-pie share to Ali Kibir and thus became an ex-proprietary tenant of the plots of sir appertaining to that share. He alleged that the defendants were subtenants of the plots appertaining to the aforesaid share and sued for their ejectment. In all, there were five suits by the plaintiff, Sajjad Husain, who claimed title as a daughter's son of the late Tajamnml Husain. The suits related to various plots of sir land. The suits were Nos. 321 to 325 of 1916.2. The defence pleaded was that the plaintiff was not an ex-proprietary tenant and that no relation of landlord and tenant subsisted between the parties.3.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-05-1923

Reported in: AIR1924All112; 74Ind.Cas.760

1. This appeal arises out of a suit brought by the plaintiffs for possession of certain sites in the town, of Najibabad on the ground that the transfer of these sites to the transferees was illegal, the allegation being that the transferors were the raiyats of the plaintiffs who were the zemindars of the village, The main defence was that the defendants-vendors were not the raiyats of the plaintiffs but were entitled as of right to dispose of the sites of their houses as they chose, and that the plaintiff's suit was barred, by twelve years limitation. Both Courts have found that the Muhalla of Zabtaganj, which is now a part of the town of Najibabad, belonged to the plaintiff's predecessors and that the plaintiffs, therefore, must be considered to be the Zimindars; but both Courts have also found that the so-called raiyats are not tenants of the plaintiffs and pay them no rent, and that they have exercised full proprietary rights over their houses and have transferred them freely as of ...
