Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-17-1931

Reported in: AIR1932All288

Sulaiman, J.1. This case has been referred to a Division Bench because of an important point of law involved in it. Ganeshi Lal was the receiver of the estate of an insolvent Jagpal Saran. He brought a suit against one Mt, Bhagwati for a declaration that a will in her favour was not genuine and the property devised by the testator passed to the insolvent and not to her. The suit was dismissed with costs, the order being that 'the plaintiff do pay Rs. 323-12-0 to the defendant as costs.' An application for executing the decree for costs against Ganeshi Lal personally was dismissed by the execution Court on 12th January 1924. The receiver had in the meantime appealed to the High Court and on 14th February 1927 the High Court dismissed the appeal.

Mt. Asia Bibi Vs. Malik Azir Ahmad and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-17-1931

Reported in: AIR1932All704; 137Ind.Cas.50

1. This is a decree-holder's appeal arising out of an execution proceeding. In 1901 Bhawani Prasad and other obtained a decree for sale on the basis of a mortgage-deed against one Faqir Bux. The mortgaged properties were put up for sale from time to time but they proved insufficient to pay the whole decretal amount. Faqir Bux died during the pendency of these proceedings. In 1918 the decree-holders obtained a decree for money for the balance of the amount under Order 34, Rule 6, against the heirs of Faqir Bux. The form of this decree was slightly defective and we shall discuss it later. This decree was transferred in 1925 to Mt. Asia Bibi, the wife of Abdul Rauf, one of the heirs of Faqir Bux. It is not now disputed that Asia Bibi was not a benamidar for her husband, but had purchased this decree in her own right. She put the decree in execution against the heirs of Faqir Bux, including her husband Abdul Rauf. During the pendency of the execution proceedings Abdul Rauf died in 1929, an...

Ajodhya Chaudhari and ors. Vs. Ram Dayal Tewari

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-16-1931

Reported in: AIR1933All654; 145Ind.Cas.731

Bennet, J.1. This is a second appeal which has been brought by the judgment-debtors against the order of the lower appellate Court confirming an order of the execution Court of first instance disallowing the objection. A preliminary objection that no second appeal lay against the objection as it was made under Order 21, Rule 90, and it is no doubt correct that if the objection does come under Rule 90 that no second appeal would lie. A first appeal would lie under Order 43, Rule 1(j), and according to the provisions of Section 104, Civil P.C. According to Rule 104(2) no second appeal would lie from an order in appeal passed under that section. The learned Counsel for the appellants argued that his objection was not an objection under Rule 90, but lay outside the provisions of that rule and came under the general provisions of Section 47 of the Code. It is regrettable that the judgment-debtor did not, while making his objections, state under what rule or section he made it. As far as I c...
