Dadulal Hanumanlala Vs. Smt. Deo Kunwar Bai W/O Shantilal

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Apr-14-1960

Reported in: AIR1963MP86

1. This is an appeal by the decree-holder against the order of the 2nd Additional District Judge, Durg, setting aside the order of the executing Court dated 19-7-1956 ordering delivery of possession of suit lands to tne decree-holder.2. Briefly stated the facts giving rise to this appeal are these. Plaintiff, Dadulal, had filed a suit for specific performance of contract against one Mantrial (defendant No. 1), who had contracted to transfer the suit lands to the plaintiff by a contract dated 9-11-1946 (Ex. P-1) but instead of transferring the land to him he transferred the same to Smt. Deokuwarbai and Shantilal (defendants 2 and 3). These defendants were, therefore, joined as purchasers of the land subsequent to the contract in favour of the plaintiff and, therefore, bound by it. The suit was decreed and the decree was maintained in second appeal also before the High Court. In pursuance of the decree all the 3 judgment-debtors (defendants) were called upon to execute a sale-deed but ha...

ORDERT.P. Naik, J.1. The plaintiff-applicant filed a suit against the defendant-non-applicant claiming Rs. 450/-with costs. The defendant-nonapplicant made a counterclaim of Rs. 196/- and costs.

The assessing authority determined the amount of tax and super tax payable by the assessee at Rs. 34,644-8-0. This amount was, however, reduced in appeal to the Revenue Commissioner to Rs. 5,470.
