Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-20-1950

Reported in: AIR1950All505

Agarwala, J.1. This is a defendants' appeal arising out of a suit for demolition of certain constructions made by the defendants-appellants in plots Nos. 180 and 181/1 in village Ainadih, district Allahabad.2. The plaintiff-respondent is a zamindar of the village and the defendants-appellants are tenants as well as riyayas. The defendants-appellants have a house in the abadi of the village-on plot No. 180; and plot No. 181/1 is an agricultural plot under their occupancy tenancy. On the finding of the Courts below, which is not disputed before me, they extended their house so as to cover the land either of plot No. 180 or of plot No. 181/1 or both. It has not been decided by the Courts below whether the disputed constructions were in one of the plots or in both.3. The defendant's main case was that they were entitled to build upon their occupancy plot No. 181/1 because the construction being an extension of their residential house amounted to an improvement within the meaning of Section...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-20-1950

Reported in: AIR1953All766

Malik, C.J.1. This is an appeal against an order of the learned Civil Judge of Etah dismissing the plaintiff's suit on the ground that the plaintiff's adoption was invalid inasmuch as the power to adopt given under a document dated 3-11-1909 gave that power only if Raja Sanwal Singh, the executant of the deed, had no son or daughter born to him and as Raja Sanwal Singh left a daughter his second widow could not adopt the plaintiff as she is alleged to have done on 27-4-1932.2. The property in suit is a valuable estate and is known as Rajhore Estate. The Rajas of Rajhore claim to be direct descendants of Raja Pirthviraj of historical fame and are Chauhan Rajputs, The property appertaining to the Raj is impartible property and during the last several generations has always descended to a single male heir. The last Raja of Rajhore was Raja Sanwal Singh who died on 7-9-1918. At the time of his death he left two wives--Rani Bhagwan Kuer, the elder and Rani Gulab Kual, the younger.3. Raja Sa...

Amir Mohammad Khan and ors. Vs. Mohammad Ahsan Khan and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Mar-17-1950

Reported in: AIR1950All491

Agarwala, J.1. These are three connected appeals and a cross-objection arising out of a suit for pre-emption. Mt. Hafis Fatima and Mt.

There were certain abadi plots also appertaining to these khewals, in which the two ladies had a two-third share. On some of these abadi plots there were houses of the vendors as wall as of riyayas.2. On 21st September 1943, Mt. Hafiz Fatima and Mt. Qadir Fatima sold their two-third share in certain specified abadi plots to Sher Zeman Khan and Abdul Rauf Khan for a sum of Rs. 3,000/-.

Reported in: AIR1950All534

Malik, C.J.1. This is a Letters Patent Appeal- The plaintiff had filed a suit No. 262 of 1943 for pre-emption. The defendants-vendees had claimed that they were not strangers and that the plaintiff was, therefore, not entitled to claim pre-emption as against them. The suit was decreed by the trial Court on a finding that the defendants-vendees were strangers and that the vendor had, therefore, no right to sell the property to them in preference to the plain-tiff. This decree was affirmed by the lower appellate Court, and the appeal filed there on behalf of the defendants was dismissed. After the dismissal of the appeal the defendants-vendees filed an application for review on the ground that they had discovered some fresh documentary evidence which clearly proved that they were co-sharers and were not strangers.2. Order 47, Rule 1, Civil P. C., is in the these terms.'(1) Any person considering himself aggrieved(a) by a decree or order from which an appeal is allowed, but from which no ...
