Holmwood and Ryves, JJ.1. This is an appeal by Baijnath Dhanuk and six other persons against the convictions and sentences passed by the Sessions Judge of Patna, who, agreeing with the unanimous verdict of the jury, sentenced Baijnath Dhanuk, Ghansyam Dhanuk and Ganouri Dhanuk to two years' rigorous imprisonment, and Mudhu Dhanuk, Dular Dhanuk, Teja Dhanuk and Bijai Dhanuk to one year's rigorous imprisonment each, under Section 147 of the Indian Penal Code. They were also bound down to keep the peace in Rs. 300 for one year.2. It appears on the allegation of the maliks that they had, at the time of partition, six or seven years ago, ousted the Dhanuks, who admittedly were the cultivating tenants of the lands in dispute, and the maliks in exercise of their alleged right were cutting some unripe musouri with the aid of their servants, who do not seem to have been armed with anything more formidable than short sticks. The labourers, who were cutting musouri, must have had some kind of cut...

Court: Kolkata
Decided on: Dec-01-1908
Reported in: 4Ind.Cas.168
1. In this case it appears that one Abbas Ali owed the plaintiff certain money. He died without discharging the debt and after his death the plaintiff brought a suit against his heirs among whom was the defendant No. 4, and obtained a decree against them. In execution of that decree he put up the property now in dispute to sale, and purchased it himself. He obtained the sale certificate and formal possession but after obtaining formal possession he was again dispossessed. Thereupon he brought the present suit for recovery of possession.2. A good deal of the argument in this case has been directed to the pleadings in the suit, and it is a matter of regret that the appellant has not thought fit to have these translated and laid before us. So far as we can gather the plaintiff alleged that in execution of the decree against defendant No. 4 and others, he had purchased this land which was in their possession. We are told that defendant No. 4 did not traverse that allegation and did not all...
