Baijnath Vs. Lakshmi NaraIn and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-26-1970

Reported in: AIR1971All398

Dwivedi, J. 1. This appeal comes to us on a reference being made by a learned single Judge. It is an Execution Appeal. 2. The appellant, Baijnath, obtained a decree against the property of the deceased Ram Charan in the hands of the respondents, the judgment-debtors. Thereafter the appellant put the decree in execution by attachment and sale of a holding. The holding was held by Ram Charan as a sirdar under the U. P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act (hereinbelow called the Act). After his death it was inherited by the judgment-debtors. They later acquired the rights of a bhumidhar in the holding by depositing the requisite amount of money for acquiring the said rights. Presumably the amount was deposited by them from their own pocket, for there is no finding that the amount which they deposited was inherited by them from Ram Charan. 3. The judgment-debtors objected to the attachment and sale of the holding of which they are now bhumidhars. The execution court overruled their ob...

Court: Allahabad

The respondent filed an appeal against the order of the Income-tax Officer. The appeal was dismissed by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. Then the respondent filed an appeal before the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal. It appears that the Tribunal partly modified the order of the Income-tax Officer.3. When the department was trying to realise the arrears of tax by sale of the respondent's house in 1957, the respondent filed a writ petition in this court on September 26, 1957.

State of U.P. Vs. B.N. Singh and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Nov-20-1970

Reported in: AIR1971All359

Pathak J.1. I agree that the appeal must be dismissed. And in view of the importance of the questions raised, I propose to set out my reasons.2. The facts are already set out in the judgment of my brother Gulati, and I need not repeat them. here.3. The appellant has raised three questions before us.4. The first contention is that the judgment of this Court in Special Appeal No. 473 of 1960 operates as res judicata and this appeal should also be disposed of on the ground which found favour there. I cannot agree. That case was taken in appeal to the Supreme Court, and the appeal was allowed to be withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh petition. In the circumstances, it cannot be said that any finding in the appeal concludes the questions raised before us. The Supreme Court expressed no opinion on the merits of the points raised in the appeal and cannot be taken, therefore, to have approved of what was decided by this Court. Indeed while allowing the appeal to be withdrawn it expressly gr...
