ORDERLilamoy Ghosh, J.1. Two short points have been raised on behalf of the petitioner in this revisional application.

Sagora Bibi Vs. Sk. Manik and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jun-19-1986

Reported in: AIR1987Cal86,(1987)1CompLJ322(Cal),91CWN163

A.M. Bhattacharjee, J.1. If aparty to a suit transfers his interest in the subject-matter of the suit to one and that one in his turn transfers the same to another, can that other, i.e. the second transferee get himself substituted in place of the party toproceed with the suit where the first transferee was not brought on record This is the short question that has arisen for our consideration in this revision and we have no doubt that the question cannot but be answered in the affirmative. It is true that even after transfer of interest of a party to the suit in the subject-matter of the suit, the suit may still effecfively proceed with the transferor as the party without the transferee being brought on record because of the doctrine of lis pendens. But, as pointed out by Vivian Bose. J., in the decision of the Supreme Court in Sangram Singh v. Election Tribunal, : [1955]2SCR1 , 'our laws of procedure are grounded on principle of natural justice which requires that men should not be co...

Tarapada Dey Vs. District Registrar, Hooghly and ors.

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Jun-19-1986

Reported in: AIR1987Cal107,91CWN262

Bhattacharjee, J.1. An award made on 28-11-77 was presented for registration to the Sub-Registrar on 25-11-83 and was admitted to registration on the same day. Could that be done after such a long lapse of time? That is the question that has come up for our consideration in this case arising out of a petition filed under Article 227.2. Under Section 23 of the Registration Act, an award, like any other non-testamentary instrument, is to be presented for registration before the Sub-Registrar within 4 months from the date of its execution. If, however, owing to urgent necessity or unavoidable accident, an award or other non-testamentary instrument is not presented for registration within 4 months of its execution, the Registrar, but not the Sub-Registrar, may direct that such document shall be accepted for registration on payment of fine provided the delay in presentation beyond the period of 4 months as aforesaid, does not exceed 4 months more. In other words, while ordinarily the period...
