Nawab Jan and ors. Vs. Safiur Rahman and ors.

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : 38Ind.Cas.882

..... the plaintiffs contend with reference to this exposition of the law, that the gifts were invalid on two grounds, first, that as there was, in each instance, a gift in favour of an adult and an infant, there was mushaa or confusion; and secondly, that there was no valid acceptance of the gift on behalf of the infants concerned, by persons legally competent to act in that ..... , if in such circumstances, the donor, with a view to avoid the difficulty created by the doctrine of mushoa, nominates an adult relation as guardian of the infant for the purpose of acceptance of the gift, it is difficult to appreciate why his action should be deemed as ..... under such circumstances, i do not think that the confusion hereinbefore referred to would be created, inasmuch as the adult son and not the father would take seisin of the minor's share at the time of the gift: in any event, in view of the opinion expressed by the judicial committee of the privy council, i do not ..... by al-hakim: where a father makes a gift of a house in favour of two of his sons, one of whom is an adult and the other a minor, and the adult son takes possession of it, the gift is void and this is the correct view. ..... 1915 that the objection on the ground of mushaa when a gift is made to an adult and an infant may be evaded by a simple device described in the fatawa-i-alamgiri; namely, that 'he (the father) should deliver possession of the house to the adult son and then make a gift of it to both of them' [fatawa-i-alamgiri, vol .....

Baso Kooer and ors. Vs. Hurry Dass and ors.

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : (1883)ILR9Cal495

..... the result, in fact, seems to be that, qua ancestral property, the son is as equally liable for his father's debts if not incurred for immoral purposes, as for his own debts; but if the interests of an adult son were affected by a decree against the father alone, which, in our opinion, is not the law, the unreasonable consequence might be that the son's interest would be more liable for the payment of the father ..... are certain observations in this judgment which lend some support to the contention of the learned counsel, the final result of the decision is that the adult son was held bound by the sale which was effected in execution of a decree against the father alone. ..... it has been now conclusively held that an ancestral property in the possession of a father and a son, whether an adult or not, is liable for the father's personal debts, provided that these debts are not proved to have been contracted ..... no doubt this passage lends some colour to the contention that, in order to affect an adult son, the suit must be brought against him also; but the result of the decision shows that full effect was not given by the learned judges to the dictum laid down ..... sale would pass the interest of the son (whether minor or adult) not with standing that he was not made a party to the suit in which the ..... does not appear to us that there is any other reasonable ground upon which it can be said that the law should, in the case of an adult son, be different from what it is in the case of a minor son. .....

Bilwar Bibi Vs. Mahamed Habibar Rahaman

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : (1924)ILR51Cal566

..... ex facie under section 7 of the limitation act, 1908, the application for execution is not barred unless it is established that the adult decree-holders could legally give a discharge for the debt without the minor decree-holders joining them in giving such discharge. ..... it appears to me that the certificate as described by the learned judge was in effect granted to the two adults, with the addition that habibar rahman had three minor brothers, entitled to share with him in any assets recovered under the certificate. ..... the only point that demands consideration is whether in the circumstances of this case, the adult decree-holders could give a valid discharge in respect of the decretal debt without the concurrence of the minor decree-holders. ..... prima facie, the application is barred by limitation, but the courts below have held that limitation was saved by the fact that some of the decree-holders were minors and that the adult decree-holders could not give a discharge without their concurrence. ..... the question is whether habibar rahman and the other adult holder could by that certificate give a valid discharge to the judgment-debtors. ..... 348 in support of the proposition that the adults could give a valid discharge, quite apart from their powers under the certificate. ..... in this view i think that the two adults were competent to give a valid discharge to the judgment-debtors without the concurrence of the minors. .....

Honooman Sahay and ors. Vs. Pursid NaraIn Sing and ors.

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : (1880)ILR5Cal845

..... in that case (where necessity would have to be proved by the mortgagee and purchaser) it seems to us that the courts would exercise a wise discretion in enquiring into the state of the mortgagor's family and directing that the adult members of such family (if any at the date of the suit) should be made co-defendants, so as to give them an opportunity of redeeming, and also in order to secure the due application of any surplus sale moneys, ..... applied by him to immoral purposes, and the sons might, if properly proceeded against, have been bound to pay their father's debt; and if any members of the family were adult at the dates of the respective mortgages, it is still an open question whether, even if necessity were proved, their interests could be affected without their consent. ..... state of the family; and if he finds there are other members of it besides the father with whom he is dealing, he is further bound to enquire into the necessity of the transaction; and if there are adult members of the family it is at least doubtful whether he ought not to obtain their consent.14. ..... , a father, as managing member, has authority to affect the interest of the adult members of the family, without their consent, seems still undecided. ..... on specific ancestral property as the mortgagor can give; and if the mortgagor is acting as managing member, he can affect the 16 annas of the property only in cases of necessity, and if there are adult members of the family, perhaps only with their consent. .....

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : AIR1936Cal556,167Ind.Cas.713

..... with regard to the issue relating to maintenance the subordinate judge has come to the conclusion that as the plaintiff has attained majority and no authority has been shown to him that under the hindu law an adult is entitled to maintenance or that his rights with regard to maintenance cannot be affected by any provision either in a will or a deed, the plaintiff's claim for maintenance must fail. ..... it has been contended that under the hindu law, an adult son is not entitled to maintenance, and our attention has been drawn to a passage referred to in the well-known treatise on hindu law by the distinguished hindu lawyer, mr. ..... 684, the learned author says this:in the bengal school, however, a doubt may be raised as to the right of an adult son and consequently of his wife or widow and daughter. .....
