Court: Chennai
Decided on: Aug-19-1924
Reported in: AIR1925Mad327; 85Ind.Cas.256
ORDERBeasley, J.1. The facts of these cases appeal to be that an application under Section 145, Criminal Procedure Code, was pending and during the pendency of that application, the Sub-Inspector of Police seized certain harvested crops apprehending a breach of the peace. The crops were first entrusted to the Village Munsiff and subsequently the crops were sold and the sale proceeds amounting to Rs. 340 were deposited and the proceedings under Section 145 were dropped with the consent of both parties. As there was no likelihood of a breach of the peace taking place, the question of possession was not decided. The Magistrate then appears to have decided the question, as to which of the parties was to receive the money, which had been deposited and he decided that the money was to be handed over to the counter-petitioners, in Miscellaneous Case No. 62 of 1922. The effect of this was that he really was deciding a question, which was the subject of dispute, between the parties, to be decid...

1. The appellant who had filed an application for adjudication as an insolvent applied for interim protection and this application was rejected by the District Judge. This appeal is against that order refusing such protection. In our opinion, the District Judge has inherent powers under Section 5 of the Provincial Insolvency Act to grant the appellant the protection he has claimed. See Abdul Razak v. Basiruddin Ahmed 14 CWN 586. On the merits of the application we are not satisfied that the discretion vested in the District Judge has been wrongly exercised by him. In these circumstances we dismiss this Miscellaneous Appeal with costs....

Court: Chennai
Decided on: Aug-18-1924
Reported in: AIR1925Mad757; 87Ind.Cas.571
Spencer, Og.C.J.1. This is a suit to recover 12 years' arrears of maintenance. The 1st defendant, who was the Zamindar of Vallur, died after the institution of the suit and his sons were brought on the record, as 2nd and 3rd defendants. He married two wives, who were sisters of each other. The plaintiff is the senior wife. She bore two sons and a daughter, but the sons died young. She claimed maintenance at the rate of Rs. 500 per month, for the last 12 years. She was living apart from her husband, for the last 23 years; but, as her claim for more than 12 years' maintenance is barred under Article 128 of the Limitation Act, she makes no claim for the remaining eleven years.2. It appears from Exs. G, G-2, G-3, G-4 and G-9, which are letters written by the Zamindar, that he was fond of his wife at first and grateful to her for letting him marry her sister. In 1890, she went away to Cocanada from Pangidigudem, her husband's residence, but returned. In November 1894, she and her sister bot...
