Durga Prasad Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh Through the Chief Secretary, G ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-29-1952

Reported in: AIR1952All959

Bind Basni Prasad, J.1. This is an applica-tion under Article 226 of the Constitution directed against the State of Uttar Pradesh and Sri M. M. Ansari, District Judge of Unnao, who has been appointed also as an arbitrator under Section 6, Requisitioned Land (Continuance of Powers) Act, 1947 (Act 17 of 1947). The contention is that the appointment of Sri M. M. Ansari as an arbitrator in the dispute for compensation which has arisen between the applicant and the State of Uttar Pradesh is illegal and ultra vires. The prayer, therefore, is for the issue of a writ of prohibition against the opposite parties restraining them from proceeding further with the proceedings for the determination of the amount of compensation payable to the applicant. The relevant facts are as follows :2. The applicant is the owner of the premises known as 'Gopal Niwas' situated in the Civil Lines of the city of Unnao.

Mutsaddi Lal Vs. Government-general in Council Through the General Man ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jul-25-1952

Reported in: AIR1952All897

V. Bhargava, J.1. This second appeal arises out of a suit brought against the East Indian Railway for non-delivery of goods. In the grounds of appeal two main questions of law have been raised. One question is that no notice under Section 77, Railways Act was required because this was a case of non-delivery and not a case of loss, destruction or deterioration of goods. The second question raised is that the suit is not barred by time because limitation began to run from the date on which the Railway intimated their failure to deliver the goods and not from the date on which the goods should have been delivered in the ordinary course. These are both important questions of law, and I understand that the first question is up for decision before a Full Bench of this Court in Governor-General in Council v. Mahabir Bam, First Appeal No. 525 of 1944. (ALL). On this first question there is already a conflict of opinion in views expressed in two cases both of which were decided by Division Benc...

The suit for ejectment was brought by the plaintiff with the permission of the Additional District Magistrate. The suit was resisted by the tenant on various groundBut the ground with which we are concerned in the present case is that the landlord was not competent to bring the suit for ejectment inasmuch as the District Magistrate or any person authorised by him had not given the permission requisite for bringing a suit under Section 3, U. P. (Temporary) Control of Bent and Eviction Act, 1947. Both the Courts decreed the plaintiff's suit and held that there was no force in the objection that the Additional District Magistrate was not competent to authorise the plaintiff to institute a suit for ejectment under Section 3 of the Act. The defendant has now come up in appeal to this Court.2. The question for consideration is whether the District Magistrate as contemplated unde...
