Reported in: AIR1949All493

Mushtaq Ahmad, J.1. This is an appeal against a judgment of Mr. Shri Nath, the learned Civil Judge of Bijnor, which I have found to be a model of a laboured, evasive and rambling document To give a picture of the judgment in a single sentence, it is based on a distortion of the most vital document on the record, on documents that had no bearing on the point in issue, on a certain former deposition of one of the defendants-appellants which really was not admissible and on a complete disregard of the entire body of the oral evidence, which, in fact, contained clear admissions of the truth of the case of the party against which the learned Judge decided the case by the witnesses of the opposite party in whose favour he decided it.2. The appellants before me are the six defendants against whom the respondent brought the suit leading to this appeal for possession over plot 05, measuring 11, and plot 98, measuring 7 biswas, total 18 biswas, in village Sarakthal Madhoo, Pargana Dhampur, Distr...

Zubeda Khatoon maintenance under Section 488, Cr. P. C., against her husband.2. The facts as they may be taken to be established at this stage are that Mt. Zubaida Khatoon, who is the lawfully married wife of the opposite party voluntarily left her husband's house & took up her residence with her father. The husband filed a suit for restitution of conjugal rights & obtained a decree on 26-1-1946. The decree, however, was made conditional upon the husband paying Rs. 130 to the wife. This payment was made into Court but the wife did not obey the order contained in the decree for restitution & thereupon the husband applied that the money should be attached & not paid over to the wife until she obeyed the orders of the Court.3. In the meanwhile, the wife instituted suits for recovery of her dower debt & the do w...

Agarwala, J.1. This is a defendant's application in revision against an order of the Civil Judge of Aligarh dated 16th January 1947 where. by he allowed an appeal against an order of the Munsif of Koil who had rejected the application of the plaintiff-opposite party for setting aside an award. The suit was referred to arbitration on the statements of the counsel for the parties. This statement was recorded not by means of an application but upon a court rubkar and was signed by the parties in the presence of the Court. The arbitrator so appointed made an award. Both parties raised objections to it. The objection of the defendant-applicant merely related to the order regarding costs in the award. The objections of the plaintiff-opposite party were several but we are concerned only with his objection that the reference to arbitration was invalid, as it was not in writing, as required by the Arbitration Act.

Dhapal Singh Vs. Gopi Chand and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-08-1949

Reported in: AIR1949All471

Mushtaq Ahmad, J.1. This is a plaintiff's appeal arising out of a suit for pre-emption. The only question involved and to be decided in the appeal is one of limitation. The trial Court, holding that the suit was within time, decreed it, while the lower appellate Court being of the view that the claim was beyond time dismissed it. This appeal is against the latter decree.2. The sale deed in question was executed by defendant 4 in favour of defendants 1 to 3 on 15th December 1943, in regard to an undivided share in certain specific proprietary plots for Rs. 4000. It may be mentioned at once that this amount was accepted as the actual pale consideration and is no more open to question in this appeal.3. Admittedly the property covered by the above sale is what is known as 'protected land' within the meaning of the U.P. Regulation of Agricultural Credit Act XIV [14] of 1940. As such, under Section 24 of the Act, the property could not be permanently alienated without the permission of the A...
