It was not stated in the application under what provisions of law it was being made, but it is conceded that this was an application under the U. P. Land Reforms (Supplementary) Act (Act 31 of 1952).Although the year was not mentioned in the application it was probably intended that the enquiry was to be made about the possession of the applicants in the year 1359 Pasli. Such an enquiry is envisaged in Section 4 of the aforesaid Act upon an application made within six months from the commencement of the Act.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Sep-29-1955

Reported in: AIR1956All78; 1956CriLJ23

ORDERMukherji, J.1. This is an application, in revision by Bahar Husain and another, who stood sureties for one Mohammad Husain. Mohammad Husain was arrested and produced before a Magistrate at Mora-dabad where he applied for being enlarged on bail. The two applicants stood sureties on his behalf and they executed a surety bond on 9-9-1952. This surety bond was in the sum of Rs. 500/- and by this bond the sureties had undertaken to produce the accused in that Court and also to produce him before another Court if so ordered.It appears that the accused made his appearance in Court only once, that is to say, on 8-8-1952. Thereafter, the accused did not appear and several opportunities were given to the sureties to bring him to the Court but the sureties were unable to do so. The Court below, therefore, ordered the bond executed by the sureties to be forfeited to the State in the sum of Rs. 500/-.2. A revision was preferred by the sureties and the Court below has dismissed that revision. T...
