L. Bishun Das Vs. L. Laxmi Narain

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-09-1948

Reported in: AIR1949All596

ORDERSeth, J.1. Of the two adjoining premises situate at the Mall, Kanpur, and bearing municipal Nos. 18/53 and 18/54, the former was being occupied by the defendant-applicant Bishan Das, who carried on the business of selling fresh and dried fruits under the name and style of 'Kashmir Fruit Mart', the latter was in the occupation of the plaintiff opposite party, Lakshmi Narain, who carried on the business of a general merchant under the name and style of Messrs. Chotey Lal and Sons. The cent of no, 18/53 was higher than the rent of No. 18/54-the difference between the rent of the two premises being Rs. 15 per month. It appears that the business of Bishan Das prospered and he found no. 18/53 too small for his requirements. Bishan Das, accordingly, shifted to another nearby shop bearing municipal No. 18/169. He then came to know that certain other persons were negotiating with the land-lord of no. 18/53 for taking it on rent with a view to set up a rival business of selling fresh and dr...

Mt. Ram Dei Vs. Mt. Gyarsi and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-08-1948

Reported in: AIR1949All545

Malik, C.J.1. I have read the judgment of my learned brother, Kaul and agree with the answers proposed to be given by him. I only wish to add that, to my mind, the texts of the Mitakshara leave no doubt that the sons have a right by birth both in the self-acquired as well as in the ancestral property of the father. In the Mitakshara part II, chap. I, Section 1 (3) heritage is divided into two classes, unobstructed and obstructed, (apratibandha) and (sapratibandha). The wealth of the father or of the parternal grand-father is declared to be apratibandha in which the sons or grandsons get a right by birth. Again in the same chapter, Section 1 (27) it is laid down that 'It is a settled point, that property in the paternal or ancestral estate is by birth.' In the ancestral joint family property the father has the right to make a transfer for legal necessity and for payment of his antecedent debts which are not tainted with immorality (avyavaharik). In the self-acquired property the texts p...

Jokhan Misra Vs. Mahesh Pandit and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Dec-06-1948

Reported in: AIR1949All637

Agarwala, J.1. An interesting point of law has been raised in this appeal. A decree for money was passed against the appellant's father, Kauleshwar Misra in 1939. After Kauleshwar Misra's death the decree is now being executed against his son, the appellant, by attachment of mortgagee rights in an occupancy holding. It appears that Kaujeshwar Misra had obtained a usufructuary mortgage of an occupancy holding by a deed dated 19th April 1939. These rights are now with the appellant and he apparently has possession of the occupancy holding. The decree-Holders want to attach these rights for what they are worth and to sell them. The appellant objected that they could not be attached and sold. Both the Courts below have held that the rights are attachable and saleable and have dismissed the objection. He has came up in appeal to this Court.2. Now, Section 23, U.P. Tenancy Act, [It should be Agra Tenancy Act. The corresponding provision in the U.P. Tenancy Act (XVIII [17] of 1939), is Sectio...

Court: Allahabad

Reported in: AIR1949All638

Mushtaq Ahmad, J.1. This is a landlord's appeal against an order in certain proceedings under the Encumbered Estates Act. The order in question was passed by the learned District Judge of Farrukhabad dismissing an appeal by the land-lord against an order of the Special Judge, 2nd grade of that place, rejecting his application praying that a certain previous application of his be decided on the merits. The relevant facts are these.2. Before the passing of the Debt Redemption Act on 1st January 1941, the landlord appellant has applied under Section 4, Encumbered Estates Act, and the proceedings eventually came before the learned Special Judge who passed a decree against him in favour of the respondents, which was sent to the Collector for execution. The schedule of properties owned by the appellant included some groves which were published as forming part of List B in the local gazette. Subsequently, after the Debt Redemption Act had come into force, the appellant, on 18th August 1942, a...
