Pobbati Obayya Vs. Amilineni Chinna Venkatappa

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Jan-23-1974

Reported in: AIR1974AP232

1. This is a plaintiff's appeal against the judgment and decree in O.S. No. 95 of 1968 on the file of the Court of the Subordinate Judge , Anantapur. The plaintiff filed the suit in forma pauperis for redemption alleging that Ex. B-1 dt. 25-6-1960 is a mortgage by conditional sale executed by the plaintiff in favour of the defendant. On a consideration of the evidence the Court below construed Ex. B-1 as an outright sale with a condition to repurchase. It was held that Ex. B-1 was not a mortgage by conditional sale. So the question in this appeal is whether Ex. B-1 is a mortgage by conditional sale or is a sale deed with a conditional reconveyance.2. The question whether a given document is a mortgage by conditional sale or not has ever been a vexed question. After the amendment of Transfer of Property Act in 1929, in order to constitute a mortgage by conditional sale , under Sec. 58(c) of the Act unless the conditions provided by that section are embodied in the document, no transacti...

Reported in: AIR1975AP72

ORDERA. Kuppuswami, J. 1. The question for consideration is whether the petition for review of the Judgment in W. P. 255 of 1969 has to bear Court-fee stamp of Rs. 50/- as pointed out by the office or Rs. 2/- as contended by the petitioner. Notice was given to the Government Pleader and he placed the relevant provision of the Andhra Pradesh Court-fees and Suits Valuation Act before me. He says that the proper Article which governs this petition is Article 5 of Schedule I which deals with application for review of a judgment. In the column relating to proper fee, it is stated 'One half of the fee payable on the plaint or memorandum of appeal comprising the relief sought in the application for review.' It is argued on behalf of the petitioner that as this column refers only to a plaint or a memorandum of appeal, the expression 'judgment' in column No 2 should be understood as only a judgment in a matter which arises out of a plaint or a memorandum of appeal. In as much as a Writ petition...
