Venkataswami, J.1. This appeal under Section 110-D of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939 is by the unsuccessful claimant in Misc. Case No. 5 of 1971 on the file of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bijapur District.2. The claimant (appellant) was a student of B.Com., class and was also employed apparently on a part-time, basis as a clerk in some business firm. It would appear that he was in the habit of visiting the samadhi of one Pandit, which was situated on an approach road adjoining Bijapur-Gulbarga road. On 3-12-1970 the claimant was cycling along the said road at about 7.30 a.m. for the purpose of visiting the said 'samadhi'. The metal or asphalted portion of that road used by the vehicles was about 10 feet in width. When he was cycling along that road on the left side and when the concerned approach road leading to the samadhi was still some way ahead he took a turn to the right side of the road, soon after a lorry passed him. Apparently he had not seen the bus belonging to the Karn...

ORDER1. The petitioner is the plaintiff in O. S. No. 72 of 1969 on the file of the Court of the Munsiff, Bellary. In the said suit the plaintiff produced in evidence a lease deed which was unstamped. Since the lease deed was unstamped, the Court made an order holding that stamp duty is chargeable on the document under Article 30 (a) (viii) of the Karnataka Stamp Act, 1957. On the said basis, the plaintiff was called upon to pay Rs. 1,237-50 as stamp duty and penalty.

Reported in: ILR1974KAR1382; 1974(2)KarLJ376

1. The appellant is the second Judgment-debtor who was one of the sureties who executed a bond under Order 41 Rule 6 C. P. C. in the form presented in Appendix 'G'. But the bond was executed in the name of the Court and not in the name of the Presiding Officer or any Officer of the Court.2. It is urged by Mr. K. A. Swamy, firstly that since the bond is not executed in the name of the Presiding Officer or any other officer of the court, the court being not a juridical person, the bond is inexecutable. Secondly, it is urged that the surety bond cannot be enforced in the execution proceeding, but that it can be enforced only in a separate suit filed against the sureties.3. He has relied on the decision inAIR 1919 PC 55 = 46 Ind App 228 (Raghubar Singh v. Jaj Indra Bahadur Singh).In that case, the surety bond created a chargeon the immoveable property but there was nopersonal liability undertaken by the surety.Their Lordships of the Privy Council heldthat since there was no personal liabil...
