Reported in: AIR1931All443; 1931 Cri LJ 1105

Mukerji, J. 1. A point of law mixed with facts has been referred to a Bench of three Judges owing to a difference of opinion occurring between two learned Judges who heard the First Appeals Nos. 349 and 449 of 1925. The point that has been referred to us for decision is worded as follows:Whether Section 195 (1) (c) is applicable so as to render a complaint of a Court necessary before a prosecution for abetment of forgery can be lodged in respect of High Court Exs. 4 to 7 or any of them.2. As it would be necessary to know the nature of the exhibits in order to answer the question I will, very briefly, give a description and history of these exhibits.3. In these provinces there is a large landed property known as the Kotla Estate. It was owned by one Thakur Chaturbhuj Singh who died on 4th November 1844. He was succeeded by his widow Mt.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-13-1931

Reported in: AIR1931All725

Sulaiman, Ag. C.J.1. This is a first appeal from an order filing an award. The parties who had referred their dispute to arbitration out of Court were Mt. Sarju Dei, the widow of Jawala Prasad, her sons Mangal Sen and Ram Bharose and a stepson Prag Das. The award was made on 14th September 1926. An application to file the award was filed on behalf of Mt. Sarju Dei only on 9th March 1927. She made the other parties to the reference as parties to the proceedings. Prag Das filed a written statement alleging that Mt. Sarju Dei had filed the application in collusion with her sons and that it was possible that she might not prosecute it with due diligence. This was followed by an application made on his behalf on 2nd November 1927 in which he prayed that his name may be transferred from the array of the opposite party to that of the applicants. On this Mangal Sen and Ram Bharose took a further objection that the application of Prag Das was barred by time. In their previous written statement ...

Allah Bakhsh Vs. Emperor

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-10-1931

Reported in: AIR1931All555; 136Ind.Cas.281

ORDERPullan, J.1. This is an application in revision of an order of the Additional Sessions Judge of Meerut rejecting summarily an appeal received from the jail. The Court was doubtless acting under Section 421, Criminal P.C. which lays down that a Judge on receiving such a petition shall peruse the same, and if he considers that there is no sufficient ground for interfering he may dismiss the appeal summarily. The same section lays down in clear words that the Court hearing such an appeal is not bound to call for the record in the case. I have been referred by the learned Counsel to a Full Bench decision of the Allahabad High Court passed three years before Act 5 of 1898 was enacted, Empress v. Nannhu [1895] 17 All. 241 which shows that at that time this Court thought that it was advisable for a Court rejecting an appeal summarily to give some reasons. But. that opinion of the Full Bench of this Court was not incorporated in the subsequent Criminal Procedure Code. The law, in my opini...

B.B. and C.i. Ry. Co. Vs. Mitthu

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-10-1931

Reported in: AIR1931All659

Mukerji, J.1. These are two applications in revision in two different suits of a similar nature, which were heard together and decided by the learned Subordinate Judge on 25th February 1930.2. It appears that there was a railway accident and certain persons were hurt. Two suits were instituted for recovery of damages against the railway administration. The plaintiffs in the suits declared that they were paupers and unable to pay the courtfee stamp. An enquiry was started, after giving information to the Government Pleader and to the opposite party. The enquiry has resulted in a declaration that the plaintiffs are entitled to sue as paupers.3. The railway has come up in revision.4. The first question is whether a revision lies.5. The learned Counsel for the appellant has argued that if a revision is not entertained the result will be that at no subsequent stage, either in the suit or in an appeal, his client will be entitled to question the validity of the order of the learned Subordina...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Apr-10-1931

Reported in: AIR1931All695a

Sulaiman, Ag. C.J.1. This is a defendant's appeal arising out of a suit for possession. The plaintiff claimed to be one of the owners entitled to a number of plots, The other owners did not join in the suit. The defendant who was in possession claimed to have acquired these plots under a sale deed from the plaintiff's mother. He took the plea, of protection under Section 41, T P. Act, and also a denial of the right of one co-owner to got possession of the entire plots. The plea under Section 41 was not pressed in the Court below and has been disposed of by us in the connected appeal, it being found that it has no force.2. A sale-deed was executed by the plaintiff's mother not as his guardian but in her own right. The lower appellate Court has found that she was a mere benamidar and had no right to the land. In the absence of any question of estoppel a transfer by her would confer no right on the defendant. The lower appellate Court has found and this finding has been accepted by a lear...
