Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-17-1924

Reported in: AIR1925All189; 83Ind.Cas.188

Kanhaiya Lal, J.1. This appeal arises out of a suit brought by the plaintiffs-appellants for the recovery of possession of a fixed-rate holding, measuring 8 bighas 18 biswas situated in the village Bisora Khurd with mesne profits for the throe years preceding the suit. It appears that Bisheshar and Durga were brothers, who owned 22 bighas 10 biswas of a fixed rate holding in the village Misrapura, and 17 bighas 1 biswas of a fixed rate holding in the village Bisora. Durga died, leaving a widow Mt. Maheaha. Bisheshar died next, leaving a widow Mt. Neola. The plaintiffs are the song of the daughters of Bisheshar by Mt. Neola. Their allegation was that Bisheshar and Durga lived separately; but the Courts below found that they were joint. Anyhow the fixed rate tenancies in question were held after the deaths of Durga and Bisheshar by their widows Mt. Mahesha and Mt. Neola. Mt. Mahesha died in April, 1893. Mt. Neola died in 1912. They had in their lifetime mortgaged 2 bighas 19 biswas of la...

Ram Lal Vs. the Municipal Board

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-17-1924

Reported in: AIR1925All251; 84Ind.Cas.439

Boys, J.1. This is a case in which the learned Sessions Judge refers a conviction arrived at by a Magistrate under Section 307(b) of the Municipalities Act on the ground that it was illegal for the Magistrate to sentence the accused to a further daily fine at the same time that has sentenced him to a fine for disobedience of the notice. The learned Sessions Judge has in support of his reference quoted the decision of Mr. Justice Piggott in Amir Hasan Khan v. Emperor (1918) 40 All. 569. It has been urged before me that the words in Clause (b) 'and, in case of a continuing breach, to a further fine' indicate that the sentence of a further fine may be passed along with the fine for the original offence I agree entirely with the view taken by Mr. Justice Piggott and it is therefore unnecessary for me to add much. If it were to be possible for the Magistrate to pass a sentence of fine for the continuing, offence at the same time as his original order of conviction, it is clear that it would...

(Sri) NaraIn Singh Vs. Emperor

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-12-1924

Reported in: AIR1925All129; 85Ind.Cas.62

Neave, J.1. This is a reference from the Additional Sessions Judge of Mirzapur asking this Court in revision to set aside the sentence passed under Section 173 of the Indian Penal Code.2. It is not disputed, that there was no complaint in writing made by the public servant concerned or by any public servant to whom he is subordinate as is required by Section 195 of the Criminal Procedure Code before cognizance can be taken by a Court of an offence under Section 173. The learned Magistrate's explanation is that he took cognizance of an offence under Section 225(b) of the Indian Penal Code and that having done so he was entitled under Section 238 of the Criminal Procedure Code to convict the accused under Section 173 of the Indian Penal Code which he regards as a minor offence of the same character as that for which a penalty is provided under Section 235(b) of the Indian Penal Code.3. It is clear that when the Code provides that the Court shall not take cognizance of certain offences wi...
