The plaintiff sued in the Court of an Assistant Col. lector, First Class, for a declaration under Section 123, Agra Tenancy Act, that the defendants were liable to pay the sum of Rs. 273-9-1 annually for their holding as fixed-rate tenants. The plaintiff is the zamindar of the village.

M.L.C. Gupta Vs. Emperor

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-20-1936

Reported in: AIR1936All314; 162Ind.Cas.507

Sulaiman, C.J.1. This is an application by the author of a book called 'Jat Jati ke Mukammal Halat yani Jat Darpan, Part I,' under Section 99-B, Criminal Procedure Code, for an order to set aside the order passed by the Local Government under Section 99-A forfeiting to His Majesty all copies of his book. The first question which arose for consideration was whether the learned Counsel for the applicant should open the case, or whether the Government Advocate should begin. That of course depends on the further question whether the onus of proof lies on the applicant or on the Government. No doubt the Full Bench in Emperor v. Baijnath Kedia : AIR1925All195 , were inclined to think that having regard to the framework of Section 99, the onus is cast upon the Local Government; but added that the question of construction was not from difficulty, and that the matter was not of any great practical importance. The, importance of the question lies in the right to begin and then the final right of...

The Magistrate sentenced each of the accused to nine months' R. I. On appeal the learned Sessions Judge reduced the sentences of some to three months' R. I., and of others to six months' R. I. The gist of the offence with which the applicants were charged is that on 23rd February 1935 they attacked two constables and a few chaukidars, who had gone to village Parewa to search Mt. Mohania and to bring her to the Court of the Magistrate who had issued a warrant under Section 100, Criminal P.C., attempted to prevent the constables from taking Mt. Mohania. One of the applicants, namely Kalian Beg, has since died, and his case requires no further consideration. The remaining 11 accused are Kurmi and Chamar residents of village Parewa.

Nawab Singh Vs. Daljit Singh

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-17-1936

Reported in: AIR1936All401

1. This is a plaintiff's appeal arising out of a suit for recovery of possession brought by Nawab Singh against the defendant Daljit Singh on the basis of a registered sale deed dated 21st April 1921, executed by Daljit Singh in favour of one Gajraj Singh, who was the uncle of the present plaintiff Nawab Singh. The defendant pleaded that the document did not represent a genuine transaction but was a fictitious one and no title under it had passed to Gajraj Singh. He supported this plea by alleging that previously one Mt. Phul Kunwar had sold this property to Daljit Singh, who was not a co-sharer in the village, and that there was an apprehension of a suit for pre emption and in order to defeat the claim for pre-emption Daljit Singh fictitiously executed the sale-deed in favour of Gajraj Singh, who was a co-sharer. It has been found that a pre-emptor, Narain Singh actually instituted a suit for pre-emption on 21st June 1920, against the vendee Gajraj Singh, presumably impleading Daljit ...

1. This is a plaintiffs' appeal arising out of a suit for declaration of title, and in the alternative for possession. The plaintiffs first filed an application in the Revenue Court in 1929 for a perfect partition of the mahal in which the property in dispute was situated. Some objection was raised on behalf of the defendants as to the plaintiffs' title. On 30th March 1931, the plaintiffs applied to the Revenue Court for permission presumably under Section 111, Land Revenue Act to institute a suit in the Civil Court for the adjudication of their title and prayed that the proceedings in the Revenue Court be stayed until the matter was determined by the Civil Court.
