Khan, J.1. The Second Additional Sessions Judge, Morena, convicted the eight accused appellants under Section 302 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced them each to life imprisonment. Against their conviction and sentences, the accused have filed this appeal.2. Before beginning arguments on the merits of the case, Mr. Anand, learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the trial court refused to summon the material evidence of the defence and requested that that evidence should either be recorded here or the case be sent back to the trial court for recording that evidence and giving the judgment afresh after considering that evidence.3. It appears from the record that while the defence evidence was being recorded, the counsel of the accused submitted an application on 7-3-59 requesting the court that Gyasiram and Radha Ramanteachers of a village School, and the Station Master of the Jora Railway Station be summoned and examined in the case as defence witness...

Lala Bhagatram Pyarelal Chhatri Vs. Bhakluram and anr.

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-18-1960

Reported in: AIR1963MP56

Dixit, C.J. 1. This appeal under Clause 10 of the Utters Patent from a decision of Tare J. arises out of a suit filed by the respondents, who as remote reversionary heirs of one Sukhlat claimed a declaration that the sale of the land in suit affected by Mst. Jagarmati, the widow of Sukhlal, in favour of the defendant-appellant did not affect the rights of any of the reversionary heirs after the death of the alienor. The plaintiffs joined in the suit three nearer reversioners as defendants alleging that they were neither prepared to file a suit for declaration nor were they ready to support the plaintiff's claim. The suit was decreed by the Civil Judge, Second Class, Bilaspur. Thereupon the appellant Bhagatram, who had purchased the property, unsuccessfully appealed first to the District Judge of Bilaspur, and then to this Court 2. The only question that arises for determination in this appeal is whether in the presence of nearer reversioners the plaintiffs were entitled to challenge th...

Fattu Bhila Vs. Bhawaniram Dashrath

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-16-1960

Reported in: AIR1961MP27

H.R. Krishnan, J.1. This is an appeal by the defendant, now being continued by his legal representatives, from the concurrent judgments of the lower Courts decreeing the suit of the plaintiff for declaration of title and restoration of possession. The main question at this stage is one of law, whether the defendant, having recovered the properties in the suit from third-parties after litigation prosecuted by huh as the guardian of the plaintiff, and continuing in possession as guardian and manager of the plaintiff, can, without discharging his duties as guardian and manager by giving up possession, now be heard to plead that the decree in favour of his ward was illegal, and he is entitled to retain the property as one of the two reversioners.Secondly, a less important question is, whether the decision of the Courts of that time granting the property to the plaintiff on the basis of a will, can now be challenged because of a law banning the bequests of agricultural lands without the san...

State of Madhya Pradesh Vs. Ganga Singh and Ghamandi Singh

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-16-1960

Reported in: 1961CriLJ122

ORDERShiv Dayal, J.1. The respondent was put up for trial before the Special Court Bhind constituted under Section 12 of the Madhya Bharat Public Security Act, 1954, hereinafter called the Act. The learned Special Judge after examining the documents filed before him under Section 173 Cri. P.C. refused to frame a charge, Aggrieved by the order of discharge, the State Government has come here in revision.2. Shri Inamdar's preliminary objection is that under the Act this Court has no jurisdiction to set side an order of discharge, inasmuch as Section 19(2) of the Act limits the powers of this Court to those contained in Sections 423, 426, 427 and 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In my opinion, this objection Is without substance. While dealing with the question whether a Special Judge appointed under the Act is empowered to discharge the accused, I shall discuss the various provisions of the Act relating to the procedure to be followed in a trial before him.Here it will suffice to m...
