Mohamed Balam Shaikh Vs. R.S. Trivedi

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-02-1953

Reported in: (1954)56BOMLR991

Tendolkar, J.1. This is a petition for an appropriate writ, direction or order in connection with several orders passed by the Custodian of Evacuee Property, Deputy Custodian of Evacuee Property, Additional Custodian and Assistant Custodian, who are the four respondents in this petition,2. From the petition as drafted it is extremely difficult to find out what the actual grievance of the petitioner is and on what ground or grounds he challenges any one of the many orders. Strangely enough, not a single one of the orders challenged is annexed to the petition. That by itself is a serious lapse and might have entailed the consequence of the dismissal of the petition because it is quite essential that the order sought to be set aside must be before the Court and it is not sufficient merely to refer to the orders in the petition. But fortunately for the petitioner the respondents have made good the deficiency by annexing all the orders to the affidavit in reply and the orders are now before...

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Dec-01-1953

Reported in: AIR1954Bom386; (1954)56BOMLR426; ILR1954Bom794

Chagla, C.J.1. The facts giving rise to this Pull Bench are very few. Ganpati, who is the father of the plaintiffs, made an alienation of joint family property in 1936. At that time the joint family consisted of Ganpati and his son Maruti who was at that time a minor. Maruti left the joint family in 1942 as he was given away in adoption, but before the adoption took place the plaintiffs were born to Ganpati. The plaintiffs filed the suit to challenge this alienation and the trial Court held that the alienation was not supported by necessity. The trial Court also held that the plaintiffs were entitled to challenge the alienation and passed a decree in favour of the plaintiffs. In appeal the lower appellate Court concurred with the finding of the trial Court with regard to the necessity for the alienation, but on the question of the right of the plaintiffs it came to a contrary conclusion and dismissed the plaintiff's suit.The matter then came in second appeal before Mr. Justice Gajendra...

Shripati died in September 1945.On 28-8-1947, the plaintiff gave a notice to defendant No. 1, and then she instituted the present suit for partition and separate possession of her half share in the lands, which were conveyed by Shripati to defendant No. 1. The defence was that Shripati was suffering from T. B.; that he had already incurred debts, because he had to undergo heavy expenses for his treatment in the Wai hospital, and that he had also further necessity of moneys for his treatment. It was the case of defendant No. 1 besides that in any cas...
