ishaq and ors. Vs. Emperor

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-27-1937

Reported in: AIR1937All373

ORDERGanga Nath, J.1. This is an application in revision by Ishaq Ahmad, Anis, Shamouddin, Ibrabim, Mt. Dhaneshri, Mt. Tileshari, Rahmat, Masood, Phul Mohammad and Mahbub against the order of the learned Sessions Judge of Ghazipur setting aside the order of discharge of the learned Committing Magistrate and ordering the accused to be committed to the Court of Session for trial. The accused have been charged under Sections 363, 366 and 368, I.P.C. The learned committing Magistrate has written a very long judgment discussing the evidence before him. He has criticized the evidence for the prosecution. The learned Sessions Judge considered the same evidence and came to the conclusion that it was a case which ought to have been committed to the Court of Session. There can be no doubt that Magistrate cannot usurp the functions of a Sessions Court. There are three classes of cases, namely, (1) cases where the evidence is prima facie so clear that nobody can entertain any doubt that the matter...

Reported in: AIR1937All362

ORDERNiamatullah, J.1. This is an application under Section 115, Civil P.C., for revision of an order passed by the Subordinate Judge, Aligarh, restoring an appeal which had been dismissed for default. It appears that in the appeal pending in the lower Court Bhojraj respondent died during pendency of the appeal. An application was made by the appellant that his legal representatives, Mt. Kalawati, Kishan Lal and Binda Prasad, be substituted for him. Notices were issued to these persons. Services were effected on Mt. Kalawati but not on the other two. The case was fixed for 20th November 1935, when the appellant failed to appear. The appeal was dismissed for default. Within 30 days of the dismissal, an application was made for restoration. In that application the names of Kishan Lal and Binda Prasad were mentioned but Mt. Kalawati was not mentioned. The lower Court accepted the allegations contained in an affidavit as regards the circumstances in which the appellant was prevented from a...

Reported in: AIR1937All562

1. This is a decree-holder's appeal arising out of an execution proceeding. One Abdul Rahim had been employed on the B.B. & C.I. Ry. Co. and died leaving a widow, Mt. Amna Khatoon, his mother, Mt. Khooban, his brother, the present respondent Abdul Karim, and some minor children by his first wife. He had been a subscriber to the Railway Provident Fund and had first made a declaration nominating his wife and minor children as the persons entitled to receive the provident fund after his death but later cancelled that nomination and filed a fresh declaration nominating his mother, Mt. Khooban, as the sole nominee to receive the provident fund after his death. Shortly after his death his mother made a will in favour of the respondent Abdul Karim bequeathing the entire amount to him and then died a few months after.

Prahlad Prasad and anr. Vs. Mt. Chameli Kuar and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-25-1937

Reported in: AIR1937All529

1. This is a defendants' appeal arising out of a suit for pre-emption brought by the plaintiff Mt. Chameli Kuar, wife of Liladhar, in respect of the properties transferred under a sale deed (p. 57) dated 12th September 1932, for Rs. 35,000, executed by defendants 3 - 6 in favour of defendants 1 and 2. The properties sold consisted of 7 pies out of 20 biswas in mahal Lakhi, Chak Ehtamali and Chak Mustaqil, of village Nagaria Fatehpur, as well as shares in another village Rampura Naogawan, with which we are not now concerned in appeal. The plaintiff claimed to be a co-sharer and alleged that the defendants vendees had been strangers to the mahal. The claim was contested on the main ground that the plaintiff was not a co-sharer in this mahal, but was a petty proprietor and as such was not entitled to claim the preemption. There were some other pleas also which have not been seriously pressed. In particular, there was a plea that the plaintiff's allegation that the proportionate value of t...

Babu Lachmi NaraIn Vs. Batuk Singh and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-22-1937

Reported in: AIR1937All561

1. This is a Letters Patent appeal in execution by a decree-holder who has lost his case before the two Courts below and also before a learned Single Judge of this Court. The appellant had a simple money decree and in execution of that decree, he attached certain property belonging to the judgment-debtors. The objection taken by the judgment-debtors was that their interest was not attachable or saleable in execution of a civil Court decree and the Courts below have upheld that contention. On 10th February 1919 two zamindars granted a permanent lease to the judgment-debtors of six plots of land of an area of 8.29 acres. The lease was a permanent lease and it stated that the judgment-debtors had been tenants of these plots and that the plots were now being given on a permanent lease and it provided that the lease would be heritable and that any arrangements could be made which the lessees desired and permission was granted for the lessees to plant a grove or construct buildings. It was f...

Parathnath and anr. Vs. Rameshwar Pratap Sahi

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-22-1937

Reported in: AIR1938All491

Niamatullah, J.1. This is an appeal from an order which purports to have been passed under Section 47, Civil P.C. It is not suggested that the order is not really one under Section 47, Civil P.C. and that therefore no appeal lies. The facts which led to the present appeal are as follows : The four houses in dispute in this case belonged to one Bishambhar who died a long time ago, leaving a son Narain, a widow Mt. Chunni and a daughter Mt. Shyam Sundar. The last named had a daughter whose sons the present appellants are. As a matter of fact, Narain was a posthumous son and died in infancy. Mt. Chunni and Mt. Shyam Sundar executed a deed of simple mortgage on 22nd September 1910 in lieu of Rupees 2635-10-0, hypothecating the four houses in dispute, in favour of Mt. Dulhin Radha Dulari Kunwar, who is now represented by Rameshwar Pratap Sahi, the respondent in this appeal. The mortgagee instituted a suit on foot of the mortgage against Mt. Chunni and Shyam Sundar. The suit was contested by...

Hamid UddIn Vs. Akbar Husain

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-21-1937

Reported in: AIR1937All372

Niamatullah, J.1. I have heard this case at considerable length, and in my opinion the decree passed by the lower appellate Court must be upheld. After a careful consideration of the relevant papers I do not however find myself in agreement with that Court that the plaintiff has failed to establish his title to the land in dispute. It is perfectly clear that at a partition of the entire village in 1287 Fasli plot No. 255/2 was allotted to Patti Maharaj Bahadur, which now belongs to the plaintiff. The latter's case is that the present corresponding number is 69/B, a fact which is admitted by the defendant. In this view, there is no doubt left that the plaintiff is the owner of the land in dispute. The learned District Judge has held to the contrary, because the plots said to be corresponding to No. 255/2 in certain quinquennial settlement were shown as parts of other pattis. This cannot be correct in view of what had happened at the partition of 1287 F. The entries at the quinquennial s...
