LORD THANKERTON: The dispute in the present appeal relates to the ownership of certain plots of land which lie on the boundary of, or between, the estates owned by the parties in the Kheri district of Oudh. The suit was instituted on 23rd January 1933, by the Deputy Commissioner of Kheri as Manager of the Court of Wards Isanagar Estate in the Court of the Additional Subordinate Judge of Kheri against the present appellant, the Maharaja of Kapurthala.

Court: Privy Council
Decided on: Apr-21-1942
SIR MADHAVAN NAIR: These are two appeals from a decree of the High Court of Madras dated 1st October 1937, on appeals from the Additional Subordinate Judge of Guntur which have been consolidated and heard together. The appeals arise out of a suit instituted by the plaintiff for recovery of possession of immovable properties, as the nearest reversioner to the estate of one Ramachandrudu on the death of his widow Achamma in 1926, on the ground that the properties appertaining to the estate had been wrongfully alienated partly by his mother and partly by his widow. The defendants are the alienees or their successors in title. Generally stated, they may be roughly grouped as those claiming under alienations made by the mother, and those claiming under alienations made by the widow. The suit related to 16 items of properties of which items 11 to 14 and 16 were claimed on the footing that they had been acquired with the income of the estate subsequent to Ramachandrudu's death and must be tre...
Shah Ram Chand Vs. Pandit Parbhu Dayal and Others
Court: Privy Council
Decided on: Apr-20-1942
SIR GEORGE RANKIN: This appeal is by the plaintiff in a redemption suit which was brought in the Court of the Subordinate Judge of Agra in 1924. It has reference to a village called Muthamai in the District of Agra, which at one time belonged to a zemindar called Nawal Singh. In this village the plaintiff inherited the interest of the mortgagee under a mortgage of 1893 granted by Nawal Singh to the plaintiff's grandfather: having brought a suit (No. 50 of 1911) to enforce that mortgage the plaintiff purchased Muthumai at the judicial sale in 1923 and thus became vested with the right and title which Nawal Singh had possessed in 1893. The question now raised is as to the amount which he must pay to free Muthamai from the prior charge created by a mortgage granted by Nawal Singh in 1882 over three other villages as well as Muthamai. Is it the whole sum outstanding upon the mortgage of 1882? Or is he, in the events which have happened, entitled to redeem Muthamai on payment of a part ther...
