Fasahatullah Khan and anr. Vs. Maula Bux

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-22-1933

Reported in: AIR1933All778

Kendall, J.1. This appeal arises out of the following circumstances: The plaintiffs applicants as zamindars sued the defendant-respondent for arrears of rent at the rate of Rs. 110 per annum and the defence was that the proper rent was Rs. 50 per annum. The trial Court finding that there had been an oral agreement between the parties to raise the rent from Rs. 50 to Rs. 110, decreed the plaintiff's suit, but the lower appellate Court (the District Judge) found that the rent could not be raised by such an oral agreement under Section 69, Tenancy Act. He further found however that the tenant had made encroachments and that the agreement really referred to a separate tenancy or at any rate it was not confined to the original 19 bighas in regard to which the tenant had originally entered on an agreement with the zamindars. He therefore allowed the appeal. The defendant therefore made an application for review of the order on the ground that there was a mistake or error apparent on the face...

1. This is an application under Section 66(3) Income-tax Act, for an order of this Court directing the Income, tax Commissioner to state a case. The circumstances leading to the application are briefly these. The assessee was called upon by a notice under Section 22(2), Income-tax Act, to submit a return, which he did, but the return did not bear such verification as is required by the Income-tax Act, nor did it bear the signature of the assessee.

Court: Allahabad

Reported in: AIR1933All678; 145Ind.Cas.977

Sulaiman, C.J.1. This is an application in criminal revision by Mt. Sri-mad Shailabala Devi, filed in the interest of the accused Bisheshwar Prasad Sinha, her son. The application came up for hearing before a Single Judge who referred it to a Bench of two Judges and the latter have referred the case to a Full Bench as several important questions of law are involved. The accused was arrested for an offence under Section 17(2), Criminal Law Amendment Act, and was prosecuted. At the trial in the Magistrate's Court he said that he did not want to take any part in the proceedings of the case, he did not want it to be adjourned, did not want to cross-examine any witnesses and that he had nothing to say in his defence. He was convicted by the Magistrate and sentenced to 18 months' rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 200.2.

Sulaiman, C.J.1. This is an application in revision from an order convicting the accused under Section 16, Motor Vehicles Act (Act 8 of 1914). The accused got his motor-car registered and the police authorities assigned to him the number 'U.P. 561 B.S.' Instead of reproducing these exact letters and figures the accused had, on his number plate, the latters 'U.P. with the figure '561' and the letters! 'B.S.' written in Hindi script. When: prosecuted, his defence was that he had complied with the rules framed under the Motor Vehicles Act inasmuch as he had in substance reproduced the number assigned to his car. There is no question that the Local Government has, under the authority conferred upon it by the Motor Vehicles Act, framed rules called the U.P. Motor Vehicles Rules 1928, which was in force.2. Rule 22 provides that the number assigned to a motor vehicle shall be shown in white figures and letters of uniform size on a black ground in the case of a private motor vehicle. Then Rule...

Asmatullah and ors. Vs. Emperor

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-18-1933

Reported in: AIR1933All896

Young, J.1. Asmatullah, Majid Ashghar, Karan Khan, Mumtaz, Kallu and Wahid were charged before the Sessions Judge of Bijnor under Sections 395, 325 and 149, Penal Code. The learned Sessions Judge acquitted no less than 22 persons but convicted 7 under Section 325 read with Section 149. He sentenced the 7 accused found guilty to five weeks rigorous imprisonment each. These 7 accused appeal to this Court and we have before us two applications for revision by the party of the complainants ; one is against the setting aside of the order of acquittal of the 22 persons and the other is for the enhancement of the sentence of the 7 persons found guilty. I may say that as regards these applications in revision counsel for the applicants has very properly refused to press them and they are dismissed.2. On 27th July 1932 there was a riot in the neighbourhood of village Mandaoli. The first information report was made by one Karim Baksh Teli at the nearest thana which was about 6 miles from the pla...

Jagdish Saran Vs. Jaidai Kunwar and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-18-1933

Reported in: AIR1933All903; 145Ind.Cas.942

ORDER1. The question for determination in this revision is whether the valuation put on the relief asked for by the plaintiff, who is the applicant before us, is the correct valuation in the circumstances of the case.2. It appears that there was an application for partition of zamindari property and it was opposed by the defendant on the ground that she was the owner of it and her name was recorded in the khewat. Thereupon, the applicant before us instituted the suit out of which this revision has arisen to obtain a declaration that he was the owner of the property and not the defendant. The plaintiff valued his relief, which, as we have said, was of a declaratory nature, at Rs. 400. An objection was taken to the valuation on the ground that the value of the property exceeded Rs. 4,000 and that therefore the suit was not cognizable by the Munsif in whose Court it had been instituted. The learned Munsif came to the conclusion that this objection was sound and he directed that the plaint...
