The applicant prays that this Court should direct that she be made a party to the Matrimonial Suit No. 7 of 1934, in which Mrs. D.E. Stuart is the petitioner and Mr. Y.E. Stuart, the respondent.2. In her petition Mrs. Stuart has made allegations of adultery against the applicant Mrs. Surdivall and in these circumstances counsel has argued that, under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure and the Divorce Act, this Court should grant the prayer of the petitioner and direct that Mrs. Surdivall be made a party to the divorce proceedings. Learned Counsel for the petitioner in the first instance opposed this application. He contended that under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure and the Divorce Act this Court had no jurisdiction to permit the intervention of a person who had been named by a petitioning wife i...

Abdul Hamid Vs. Firm Shyam Lal Chiman Lal

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-25-1935

Reported in: AIR1935All502; 157Ind.Cas.426

ORDERNiamatullah, J.1. This is an application for revision of an Order passed by the learned Judge of the Small Cause Court at Agra. It seems to me that the applicant and the lower Court have acted raider a misapprehension as regards the law applicable to the circumstances of the case. The applicant was the judgment-debtor in certain execution proceedings in the lower Court taken at the instance of one Nawal Kishore. The original decree-holder had died and Nawal Kishore applied for execution of the decree. The judgment-debtor objected on the ground that Nawal Kishore was not competent to apply for execution of the decree. The case was fixed for 7th April 1934, when the applicant was absent. The Court did not dispose of his objection on the merits and did not decide whether Nawal Kishore was competent to apply for execution of the decree or not, but passed an order 'striking off the objection for default.' A few days later, the judgment-debtor made an application purporting to be one un...

Benares Bank Ltd. Vs. Rajnath Kunzru and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-24-1935

Reported in: AIR1935All374

ORDER1. This is an application for leave to appeal to His Majesty in Council. There were two cross-appeals filed in this Court which were connected and disposed of by one judgment, but separate decrees were prepared in the two cases. Leave to appeal to His Majesty in Council has already been granted an 'the defendant's appeal which was allowed and the decree of the Court below was reversed and the claim with regard to the subject-matter in dispute in that appeal disallowed. The decree in the plaintiff's appeal was one of dismissal of the appeal, and in that sense an affirmance of that part of the decree of the first Court which had dismissed the plaintiff's claim in part. But the operative order of the High Court was that the defendant's appeal should be allowed and the decree of the Court below modified and the suit dismissed in toto.2. The question which arose in the plaintiff's appeal was to a large extent one of fact. Learned Counsel for the plaintiff concedes that no substantial q...

In Re: Lal Madho Prasad

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-24-1935

Reported in: AIR1935All449

1. Lala Manmohan Das applied for the grant of Letters of Administration in respect of the assets of his deceased father Lala Madho Prasad who held some shares of the Imperial Bank which are in deposit in the Imperial Bank at Calcutta. On 25th October 1934 his application was granted and Letters of Administration were ordered to be issued to him. The office naturally demanded the payment of court-fee before furnishing the Letters of Administration. To this the applicant objects.2. Learned Counsel for the applicant relies on a Full Bench ruling of the Bombay High Court in Keshavlal Punjalal Sheth v. Collector of Ahmedabad 1924 Bom. 228. No doubt this ruling supports the applicant to a great extent, but the learned Judges over-ruled a previous decision of their own Court in Kashi Nath Pareshram v. Gourabai 1915 Bom. 18. The view expressed by Beaman and Hayward, JJ., in the last mentioned case was that if an applicant who is a member of a joint Hindu family applies for probate of a will of...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-24-1935

Reported in: AIR1935All688; 155Ind.Cas.550

ORDERNiamatullah, J.1. This revision has arisen from a Small Cause Court suit, brought by the plaintiff-respondent against Ram Raj, defendant 1, and Mt. Humela Kunwar, defendant 2, for recovery of Rs. 546-14-0 principal and interest. The lower Court decreed it against defendant 2, who has applied in revision. Defendant 1 owed Rs. 1,473 to the plaintiff. On 4th July 1930, he satisfied his liability by handing over some cattle delivering some grain and by executing a mortgage deed for Rs. 977. There remained a balance of Rs. 350, for which he executed a bond in favour of 'defendant 2, leaving the entire amount with the latter for payment to the plaintiff. The plaintiff's case is that defendant 2 did not make any payment.2. The suit was not contested by defendant 1.

ORDERNiamatullah, J.1. The only question involved in this case is one of limitation. The applicant obtained a decree from the Small Cause Court, Delhi, on 2nd October 1929. He made an application to the Court passing the decree on 11th January 1930, asking for a Certificate of transfer to a Court in Meerut, where the decree-holder desired to execute his decree.

Reported in: 155Ind.Cas.487

Sulaiman, C.J.1. This is an application by the plaintiff for leave to appeal to His Majesty in Council. The suit was for recovery of a large sum of money alleged to be due on hundis and as money advanced against certain goods which were shipped. The Court of first instance decreed the claim so far as the amount due on the hundis was concerned, and as regards the other claim confined the decree to a sum of 579 and dismissed the rest of the claim amounting to about Rs. 20,000. Two separate cross-appeals were filed in the High Court. One on behalf of the plaintiff against the dismissal of his claim and the other by the defendants in respect of that part of the claim which was decreed. These two appeals were separately numbered, but were connected and heard together and disposed of by one judgment. Two separate decrees were prepared in the two cases. The value of the subject-matter in dispute in the defendants' appeal has been found to be in excess of Rs. 10,000 and leave has accordingly b...

Ramdeo Vs. Emperor

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-23-1935

Reported in: AIR1935All516

ORDERBajpai, J.1. The applicant Ramdeo was convicted by a Tahsildar Magistrate of an offence under Section 353, Penal Code, and sentenced to a fine of Rs. 200. His appeal was dismissed by the District Magistrate and in revision the learned Sessions Judge refused to submit the case to the High Court with a recommendation for the setting aside of the conviction and the sentence. He has therefore come up to this Court in revision and his main contention is that Wakalat Husain, the Constable against whom criminal force is said to have been used was not a public servant discharging his duty at that particular time.2. The facts are that the police authorities at Mirzapur were informed that gambling was going on near the house of Ramdeo Underneath an Imli tree which was a public thoroughfare and three constables, Bindeshri Rai, Amir Bahadur Singh and Ram Narain Singh, were sent to effect the arrest of the gamblers. On 5th November 1933, the said three constables were going towards the house o...
