T.S. Krishnamoorthy Iyer, J.1. The suit instituted by the plaintiff who is the appellant for declaration of his title to and for recovery of the plaint schedule property was concurrently dismissed by the Courts below.2. The plaint property admittedly belongs to the Illom of the plaintiff.

T. Mercy and ors. Vs. V.M. Varughese and State

Court: Kerala

Decided on: Nov-30-1967

Reported in: 1969CriLJ569

ORDERK. Sadasivan, J.1. This is a reference by the 1st Additional Sessions Judge of Trivandrum in M.C. 29/66 on the file of the Addl. First Class Magistrate, Trivandrum. That was a case instituted by a mother and 5 children for maintenance under Section 488 Criminal P.C. The learned Magistrate found that the mother is not entitled to maintenance since she is living in adultery. Even though the paternity of all the 5 children was admitted the counter-petitioner, maintenance was not awarded to the children also, as the Magistrate is of the view that the children are being maintained by the counter-petitioner himself. Learned Additional Sessions Judge has pointed out in his reference order that the view taken by the learned Magistrate is wrong in so far as the counter-petitioner cannot shirk his responsibility to-maintain the children on the plea that he is making occasional payments to them.2. On a review of the position in all its details, I am persuaded to the conclusion that the petit...

Court: Kerala

Raman Nayar, J.1. We think that the first Court was right in dismissing the respondent plaintiff's suit in the view that it was barred by res judicata and that the lower appellate Court was wrong in decreeing it in the view that it was not so barred,2. The five items of property in suit admittedly belonged to a Nayar joint family (governed by the Travancore Nayar Act) known as the Akkaravaram family and were, along with the other properties of the family, in the possession of its Karanavan, Velayudhan, until his death in 1103 M. E. (1927-28 A. D.). Plaintiffs 1 and 2 are the daughters of the 18th defendant, Karthiyani by name; plaintiffs 3 to 6 are the minor children of the 1st plaintiff; and the 7th plaintiff is the minor daughter of the 2nd plaintiff. It is their case that the 18th defendant's mother, Lakshmi, was a sister of Velayudhan. Velayudhan had another sister by name Narayani, and he and the the Vazhees of these two sisters constituted the Akkaravaram joint family to which th...

Raghavan, J. 1. The question referred to us by the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal is:'Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal was right in law in holding that the income from the properties had been properly assessed in the hands of the firm under Section 28 of the Income-tax Act. 1961 '2. The counsel of the Revenue raises preliminary objection that the question referred does not arise out of the order of the Tribunal. To appreciate this objection a few facts may be noted. The assessee is a registered firm with 17 partners; and the firm has both business income and house property income. The property income for the assessment year 1962-63 came to Rupees 40,515/-. and the assessee claimed that the amount should be assessed under Section 26 of the Indian Income-tax Act of 1961 in the hands of the partners and should not be included in the total income of the firm itself under Section 22. On the other hand, the Department claimed that the income sh...
