Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-28-1950

Reported in: AIR1952All171

Reported in: AIR1952All328

Mushtaq Ahmad, J. 1. This is an appeal by Raghubir Singh and his son, Kunwar Brij Raj Singh, against an order refusing their application for amendment of a mortgage decree under Section 8, U. P. Debt Eedemption Act (XII [13] of 1940). 2. The application was dismissed by the Court below on the ground that appellant 1 was an undischarged insolvent and apppellant 2, though a discharged insolvent, had still his property vested in the Receiver. The effect of such vesting of the appellants' property in the Eeceiver was that they themselves had ceased to be the owners of any property and as such ceased to be entitled to apply for amendment of the decree under the said Act. The Court below relied on the case of Gauri Shankar v. Jamuna Prasad, 1944 ALL. L. J. 440 and that of Abu Obaida v. Jamil Hasan, 1947 ALL. W. R. H. C. 260. 3. Learned coansel for the appellants has disputed the correctness of the order on the ground that, under Section 28(6), Provincial Insolvency Act, the debt in question ...
