Kallu Vs. Lokmad Das and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-06-1927

Reported in: AIR1927All507

Iqbal Ahmad, J.1. This appeal must be allowed. The plaintiff-appellant brought a suit against the defendants-respondents. The suit was decreed ex parte on the 12th of February 1924. On an application being made by Defendants Nos. 1 and 2, the ex-parte decree was set aside, and the case was restored to its original number on the 15th of March 1924 and eventually issues were framed on the 14th of April 1924 and 12th of May 1924 was fixed for final hearing of the suit.2. On that date the learned Munsif passed an order dismissing the suit. That order has been quoted in extenso by the lower appellate Court. Against the order dismissing the plaintiff's suit the plaintiff filed an appeal in the lower appellate Court. In that Court he was met by the objection that the order of the learned Munsif was one dismissing the suit for default, that is, was an order under Order 17, Rule 2, Civil P.C. and not an order under Order 17, Rule 3, Civil P.C. and as such no appeal lay against that order in the...

Mitthan Lal and anr. Vs. Nabi Bakhsh

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-06-1927

Reported in: AIR1927All508

Iqbal Ahmad, J.1. This is an appeal by the plaintiffs who claimed the property in dispute as reversioners of one Joti Prasad, who was admittedly the last male-holder of the property in dispute. Joti Prasad on his death was succeeded by his mother Mt. Mahtabi who died in the year 1915. Mt. Mahtabi in her lifetime had, on the 29th of March 1909, sold the property in dispute to the defendant-respondent. The plaintiffs alleged that the sale was without legal necessity and was not binding on them. 2. The suit was resisted by the defendant, inter alia, on the ground that one Jamna Das was the nearest reversioner of Joti Prasad and became entitled to his property on Mt. Mahtabi's death, and as the sons of Jamna Das are alive, the plaintiffs have no right to the property in dispute. Both the Courts below have accepted this defence and have dismissed the plaintiffs' suit. The finding that Jamna Das, and not the plaintiffs, was the nearest reversioner of Joti Prasad at the time of Mt. Mahtabi's ...

Bhawani and ors. Vs. Chaudhari Mangali Singh

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-06-1927

Reported in: AIR1927All567a; 102Ind.Cas.205

Ashworth, J.1. This second appeal arises out of a suit for damages brought by the plaintiffs-appellants in the following circumstances. The plaintiffs on the 6th of July 1921, were in debt to their landholder in respect of the rent due for a certain occupancy holding. They also owed certain other debts. In order to meet these liabilities they executed a document granting to the defendant a right to hold their occupancy holding for a period of five years in consideration of the defendant promising to meet the arrears of rent and the outstanding debts calculated at a sum of Rs. 600 and also in consideration of the defendant paying the annual rent due to the landholder of the plaintiffs. The defendant failed to pay the arrears of rent and, in consequence of this, the landholder sued the plaintiffs for arrears of rent. The plaintiffs were unable to satisfy the decree for arrears in full and consequently they were ejected by their landholder in execution of the decree for arrears. The prese...

Hardayal Lal and ors. Vs. Ganga Koeri and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-06-1927

Reported in: AIR1927All743; 102Ind.Cas.202

1. In this appeal we are of opinion that the decision of the Munsif and of the Additional Subordinate Judge must be set aside. The very short history of the case is that Niranjan and Sheo Datt were occupancy tenants and in 1876 mortgaged a field for Rs. 156 to Jawahar Lal. Niranjan and Sheo Datt are today represented by defendants 7 to 14. Jawahar Lal is represented by defendants 1 to 6. The plaintiffs are heirs of the mortgagors and sue for redemption. They claim to be entitled to redeem on payment of Rs. 156 that being the amount of money lent on this usufructuary mortgage of the occupancy land. The defendants set up three other loans, of a sum of Rs. 360 advanced on the 6th August 1883, a sum of Rs. 49-15-0 advanced on the 30th October 1890, and a sum of Rs. 47 also advanced on the same date, together with interest, and they claimed that by virtue of the terms upon which these loans were made the property could not be redeemed unless and until the Rs. 156 and the three sums together...
