ORDERP.K. Tare, J.1. This revision, purporting to be under Section 115 of the Civil Procedure Code, has been filed by the judgment-debtor and is directed against the order, of the Additional District Judge, Umaria, District Shahdol dated 2-7-1957, holding that the execution of the decree, transferred by the Second Additional District Judge, Bilaspur to that Court under Section 39 of the Civil Procedure Code, without complying with the procedure laid down by Order 21, Rule 5 of the Civil Procedure Code, could proceed and that it was not necessary to return the transfer certificate to the transferor Court.2.

Ram Milan and anr. Vs. Bansilal Tejsingh and anr.

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Feb-28-1958

Reported in: AIR1958MP203

M. Hidayatullah, C.J.1. This case was first before one of us (Tare, J.) who referred the case to a Division Bench, but in view of the decision of the Bombay High Court in Mahadeo Raoji v. Anant Ganesh, AIR 1957 Bom 147 (PB) (A), I considered it expedient to refer the case to a Full Bench. The point involved in the case has had a long history and it is proper to decide it finally.2. The Tacts of the case appear sufficiently from the order of reference and need not be restated. In Wasudeo Bamchandra Patil v. Nihalchand Chandanmal, 1942 Nag LJ 34 (B), Greenfield, Revenue Adviser held that orders passed by the Deputy Commissioner under Section 13 of the Relief of Indebtedness Act were appealable and revisable and that the Deputy Commissioner acted as a Revenue Officer and not as a persona designata.In Ishwari Prasad v. Shankarlal, 1942 Nag LJ 420 (C), the same Revenue Adviser held that an order of the Deputy Commissioner granting p. certificate under Section 13 (3) of the Act was not appea...

He registered himself as a dealer under the C. P. and Berar Sales Tax Act, 1947, on 18-8-1949. The petition arises out of assessment proceedings coupled with proceedings to, impose a penalty for a period from 29-1-1949 to 18-8-1949. 2. It appears that a notice in Form No. V| was issued to the petitioner by the Department asking for returns, but returns were not submitted. The Department, therefore, decided to takes action against him and started proceedings under Section 24(1)(a), as also under Section 1(5) of the 8ale' Tax Act, after taking the assent of the Commissioner of sales Tax, because a notice served on the assessee to produce his documents was not obeyed.

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Feb-27-1958

Reported in: AIR1959MP8

T.P. Naik, J.1. This is a second appeal by the plaintiff whose suit for a declaration that her marriage with defendant-respondent Shankarlal was null and void has been dismissed by the lower appellate Court. The marriage is being sought to be set aside on the ground of fraud. The trial Court found the allegations proved and decreed her suit. The lower appellate Court however found that there was no misrepresentation amounting to fraud as alleged which could warrant the setting aside of the marriage in question. 2. The facts which are not in dispute may shortly be stated as follows : The plaintiff Bimla Devi and the defendant Shankarlal went through a ceremony of marriage according to Hindu rites at Jabalpur on 28-2-1952. The plaintiff is the legitimate daughter of one Munnalal Dube, a Kanvakubja Brahmin, while the defendant Shankarlal is the illegitimate son of the defendant-respondent Kundanlal, also a Kanyakubja Brahmin, but born of an adulterous intercourse with a Kurmi woman defend...
