Dunedin, J.1. The same general point is raised in these two appeals.2.

The second appellants are holders of land under Government in virtue of a Sanad originally granted to one George King on 6th April 1839, by the said East India Company, which declares the ground given in occupation is to be 'at any time resumable by Government for public purposes' upon certain terms as to notice and compensation.4.

The Ahmedabad Municipality Vs. Sakarchand Mohakamchand
Court: Mumbai
Decided on: Nov-13-1914
Reported in: AIR1915Bom91; (1915)17BOMLR182
Basil Scott, Kt., C.J.1. Two points have been argued on this appeal, one on behalf of the respondents and the other on behalf of the appellant. The respondents contend that octroi is not leviable upon goods introduced into the city through the agency of the Post Office. In support of that contention, reference is made to Section 59 of the District Municipal Act, which says that subject to any general or special orders which the Governor General in Council may make in this behalf, the Municipality may, after observing the preliminary procedure required by Section 60, impose an octroi on goods brought within the Municipal limits for consumption or use therein, and Section 60 provides that every Municipality, before imposing a tax, shall observe certain preliminary procedure. It is urged that the preliminary procedure required by Section 60 has only been observed under the old Act at a time when the bye-laws framed under it indicated that the framers did not contemplate the possibility of...

Beaman, J.1.

The material undisputed facts are that the girl Jamnabai was formally betrothed by her father Mulji in 1910 to the second plaintiff, the contract being made according to the usages of the caste between Mulji and the plaintiff 1. The terms of the contract were that the plaintiffs were to provide Rs. 5500 worth of ornaments for the bride.2. Early in March 1913 Mulji appears to have contemplated making another marriage for his daughter, as he alleges, because he had already broken off the engagement with the second plaintiff on account of the plaintiff's failure to comply with the conditions of the original be...
