Court: Allahabad

Reported in: AIR1934All652

Bennet, J.1. This is a second appeal in which a point of law has been raised on which there does not appear to have been any precedent and no ruling has been shown to me corresponding to the circumtances of this case. The plaintiff held a decree against defendant 2, and defendant 1 also held a decree against defendant 2. There was a sum of money, Rupees 1,000 belonging to defendant 2 deposited in the Court of the Magistrate. The decree of the plaintiff was for Rs. 1,010 and the decree of defendant 1 was for Rs. 451. Each party desired to obtain satisfaction for their share from the sum of Rs. 1,000 deposited in the Magistrate's Court. The question in issue in the present case is in regard to Rs. 451 out of that deposit which is claimed by defendant 1. Actually he did not receive payment of that sum until the present suit had been decreed in his favour by the Court of the Munsif on 7th May 1930, The case for defendant is that he obtained the proprietary title in this money by an order o...

Matuk Deo NaraIn Singh Vs. Vinayak Prasad and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Feb-24-1934

Reported in: AIR1934All829; 150Ind.Cas.993

ORDERKing, J.1. The accused are charged with an offence under Section 5 of the Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1928. The marriage was solemnized at Ramgarh in the Azamgarh district. The offence of performing, conducting or directing the child marriage was therefore committed in the Azamgarh district, and under Section 177, cr. P.C., the offence must ordinarily be tried by a Court within the local limits of whose jurisdiction it was committed.2. It is suggested that the case is also triable in the Benares district because the tilak ceremony took place in that district, and in view of the provisions of Section 179, Cr. P.C. In my opinion Section 179 has no application to the facts of the case. The accused are not charged with the commission of an offence by reason of having performed the tilak ceremony nor can the marriage be properly called a 'consequence' of the tilak ceremony.3. Section 182 also does not apply. The alleged offence, if committed, was certainly committed in the Azamgarh d...

It is said that the appellant, who was the defendant in the original suit and the appellant in the lower appellate Court paid less court-fee on his memorandum of appeal to the lower appellate Court than the amount which ought to have been paid and that the lower appellate Court heard the appeal taking it for granted that sufficient court-fee had been paid or the memo of appeal to it.2.

Kendall, J.1. This application is for the revision of a decree and order of the Judge of the Small Cause Court at Orai, decreeing the suit of the plaintiff opposite party. The suit was for a sum of Rs. 240, said to be due as the rent of a shop and the plaintiff's case was that the business of a partnership had been carried on in that shop and that rent had always been Rs. 200, but that since his illness the defendant had been dishonestly carrying on his own business in the shop and had become liable for rent. The defendant raised the question of title to the shop, alleging that the shop had really belonged to his father, but that he had executed a fictitious sale-deed in favour of the plaintiff s father.
