Basanta Kumar Maity Vs. Kenaram Maity

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Dec-04-1952

Reported in: AIR1953Cal393,57CWN163

ORDERK.C. Chunder, J. 1. This is a Reference made by the Sessions Judge of Midnapore against an order under Section 522, Criminal P.C, passed by a Magistrate, 1st Class, of Contai. The facts are that the accused person in whose favour the Reference has been made was convicted under Section 325, Penal Code, that is, of using force and this force was used in connection with dispossession of the complainant from C.S. plot No. 2327. The learned Magistrate definitely found dispossession of the complainant and disbelieved the accused's case that they were fencing their own land and were protected by the right of private defence. Therefore all the elements necessary for Section 522, Criminal P.C. were present. The decision of Harries C.J. in -- 'Samdhu Roy v. Mati Khatik' AIR 1949 Cal 111 (A), has therefore no application as the whole judgment proceeded on the ground that Section 522, Criminal P.C. did not apply in that case because there was no use of force or show of force or criminal intim...

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Dec-03-1952

Reported in: AIR1954Cal89,57CWN848

Guha, J.1. This is an application under Section 115, C. P. C. by the petitioner directed against an order passed by the Subordinate Judge, 1st Court, Alipore, on 31-5-52 rejecting the application filed by him to sue In forma pauperis. The learned Judge rejected the application holding that the petitioner had not succeeded in satisfying the Court that he was a pauper within the meaning of Order 33, C. P. C.2. The matter has been argued before us at some length both on the point whether the petitioner is a pauper as also on the point whether the application filed by him before the lower Court under Order 33, Rule 1, C. P. C. complied with the provisions of law. It appears that the petition with which the plaint was annexed was not signed and verified in the manner laid down by law as required, under Order 33, Rule 2, C. P. C. On this account a preliminary objection was raised in the lower Court, by the opposite party who contended that the application to sue in forma pauperis was not mai...
