Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-25-1978

Reported in: AIR1979All22

ORDERDeoki Nandan, J.1. This is a second appeal from a proceeding to set aside a sale under Order XXI, Rule 90 of the Civil P. C. Several grounds were raised in support of the application but they did not find favour with the executing court which dismissed it with costs. An appeal lies from the refusal to set aside the sale which was the main subject-matter of appeal before the District Court which was heard and allowed by the Court of the Civil Judge, Bijnor by order dated July 31, 1968. The learned Civil Judge held that there had been material violation of the mandatory rules in as much as the sale of the land had been effected without prior attachment of the property. This ground was not raised at any time before the sale. On the other hand, the judgment-debtor had expressly stated that the land could be sold even without a sale proclamation in exchange for some other land which had been attached and proclaimed to be sold by the court. The judgment-debtor herself invited the sale o...

Satish Chandra, C.J.1. The reference has been referred to a Full Bench because the Division Bench felt that this Court's decision in Commr. of Income-tax v.

Court: Allahabad

Reported in: AIR1978All459

ORDERK.N. Seth, J.1. This revision by the defendants is directed against the order of the learned Additional District Judge decreeing the plaintiff's claim for ejectment in a suit tried as a small cause court suit.

The suit was originally filed in the court of Munsif, Moradabad, for ejectment of the defendants from the shop in dispute and for recovery of mesne profits and damages. The case set up by the plaintiff was that the shop in dispute was let out to Ram Ratan Lal Khanna, father of defendant applicants No. 1 to 4 and husband of defendant applicant No. 5, on 2-6-1946 for a period of two years. During the continuance of the tenancy, U. P. Act No. III of 1947 came into force and Ram Ratan Lal continued to remain in possession as a tenant of the shop.
