Ratan Lal and ors. Vs. Rex

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-17-1948

Reported in: AIR1949All222

ORDERBind Basni Prasad, J.1. The five applicants were tried and convicted by a learned Magistrate of Naini Tal for an offence under Sub-rule (4) of Rule 81, Defence of India Rules, read with Clause 3, U.P. Food Grains Price Control Order, 1945. Four of them namely Ratan Lal, Khunni Lal, Saligram and Ramrichhpal, who are partners of the firm of Kishan Lal Ratan Lal of Haldwani, were sentenced to three months' rigorous imprisonment and to a fine of Rs. 1000 each. Raghunath Prasad, who is a Munim of that firm, was sentenced only to a rigorous imprisonment of 3 months. There was an appeal and it appears from the judgment of the learned Sessions Judge that the case was argued at great length on merits as well as on law points. The arguments took one full day before the learned Sessions Judge. The learned Sessions Judge, however, did not enter into the merits of the case. He only dealt with one law point, namely, whether in view of the provisions of Rule 130 (4), Defence of India Rules, the ...

Panchoo Jolaha Vs. Mohammad Ismail and anr.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-17-1948

Reported in: AIR1949All263

Seth, J.1. This is a judgment-debtors' appeal. The necessary facts to bring out the point for decision are as follows:2. The decree was for possession of a piece of land. It appears that there was a cattle-shed standing upon the piece of land of which possession had been ordered to be delivered. The decree-holder put the decree into execution and applied for possession of this piece of land to be delivered to him. In the course of the execution, the cattle-shed was also demolished and the decree-holder was given possession over the vacant land. The judgment-debtors applied to the Court complaining against the conduct of those responsible for execution on the ground that the decree did not provide for the demolition of the cattle-shed, and that the judgment-debtors have suffered a loss by the demolition of the cattle shed in the course of the execution. They accordingly claimed compensation for the loss suffered by them by having been deprived of the materials of the cattle-shed. The cl...

Munney Khan and anr. Vs. Mohammad Bakhsh

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-17-1948

Reported in: AIR1949All735

Kaul, J.1. This is a defendants' second appeal against an appellate order of the District Judge of Sitapur by which a decree passed by the Munsif, Sitapur, in a suit under Section 33, Agriculturists' Relief Act, was modified.2. The material facts lie within a short compass : On 19th April 1936, the present respondent, Mohammad Bakhsh, executed a deed of usufructuary mortgage in favour of Munney Khan and Abdul Rauf Khan. As it was a usufructuary mortgage, no rate of interest was specified in the deed, and the profits of the land mortgaged were to be appropriated by the mortgagees in lieu of interest. The mortgage was given for a period of five years. The suit which has given rise to this appeal was instituted by Mohammad Bakhsh in the Court of the Munsif, Sitapur, under Section 83, Agriculturists Relief Act, for an account of the money due under the mortgage. A number of pleas were raised. One of the contentions raised on behalf of the plaintiff was that inasmuch as the mortgagees were ...

The plaintiff is a company known as the Allahabad Theatres, Limited and is the owner of the building in question, It had given a lease of that building to the respondent, Ram Sajiwan Misra. The suit was decreed ex parte on 18th May 1948, and possession was delivered in pursuance of the decree to the appellant on 7th July 1948.

On 5th July 1948, however the respondent applied to the Court for the setting aside of the ex parte decree and the ex parte decree was set aside on 28th July 1948, on the respondent depositing into Court a sum of Rs. 9,288-13-0 represent...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Aug-13-1948

Reported in: AIR1949All330

ORDERSeth, J.1. These two applications in revision are connected together and shall be governed by the same judgment. The applicant in both the cases is the same, namely, the Aman-O-Aman Bank Ltd., Gorakhpur, herein referred to as the Bank. The Bank obtained a decree against eight persons, two of whom have died leaving as their legal representatives some of the remaining six. Thus there are at present six judgment-debtors to the decree. Two applications for apportionment of liability under Section 11, U.P. Debt Redemption Act, were made by the judgment-debtors. They were disposed of by the same order apportioning the liability between the judgment-debtors.' The decree-holder having felt dissatisfied by the order of apportionment has come up in revision to this Court. Two revisions have been filed against the order disposing of two different applications though for the same relief.2. It is an admitted fact that all the judgment-dehtors are agriculturists.

There was, however, a provision contained in the decree that the liability of each defendant was limited to l/l3th of the sum decreed.
