Sarkies Vs. Prosonomoyee Dossee and ors.

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : (1881)ILR6Cal794

..... the main question in this case is a pure question of law,---namely, whether, by the law in force in calcutta, the widow of an armenian, married before the dower act (xxix of 1839), is entitled to dower out of lands which her husband held during the marriage for an estate of inheritance, as against a hindu purchaser for value from the husband during his life.2. ..... if the plaintiff had an inchoate right to dower at the time of the passing of the act, nothing short of express words could deprive her of that right.40. ..... besides, it seems to me, that section 4 of the dower amendment act is itself an authority, that, before the act, a husband could not alien or devise his lands so as to deprive his wife of her dower. ..... law, which from their very nature were only passed for reasons connected with england, and which would not be applicable to india, or any other colony of the british crown, as for instance, the mortmain acts, the law of aliens, and the like.35. ..... the dower act (xxix of 1839) recites, that it is expedient to extend the amendments in the english law of dower to the territories of the east india company in cases which, but for the passing of the act, would be governed by the english law of dower as it existed previously; and section 4 of that act provides that no widow shall be entitled to dower out of any land which shall have been absolutely disposed of by her husband in his lifetime, or by his will. ..... the letter of the court of directors in 1792, tagore law lectures, 1874, p. .....

Prasanna Kumar Ray and ors. Vs. Kumar Arun Chandra Singha Bahadur and ...

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : 85Ind.Cas.693

..... the question of the principle to be followed in arriving at the rent payable: it is true that the point involved does not fall expressly within any of the issues set out in section 105a of the bengal tenancy act and the cases seem to show that where these questions arise an appeal lies to the court, but we think that if the decision of the special judge does not merely settle a rent but involves as here ..... these appeals on behalf of the tenants were (1) that no appeal lay as the decisions of the courts below merely settled the rent and (2) that in any case in proceedings under section 105 of the bengal tenancy act the assistant settlement officer and the special judge were not bound by any contract between the parties but could fix a rent which they thought fair and equitable. ..... these three cross-objections and the appeals are by the landlord who applied under the provisions of section 105 of the bengal tenancy' act for the settlement of fair and equitable rent in respect of the excess lands found on the measurement of certain putni taluks held by ..... as regards the second question it has been held that the provisions of section 105 of the bengal tenancy act are applicable not only where no rent has been fixed but also where the rent has been fixed by agreement of parties, ..... landlord sued under section 105 of the bengal tenancy act claiming from the holder of a taluk additional rent ..... 1922, 1209 and 1210 of 1922, 450 and 451 of 1922, and 463 of 1922, 1811-1814 of 1922 and 1874 of 1922. .....

Dabi Churn Dutt and ors. Vs. Sundhya Mala

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : (1881)ILR6Cal715

morris, j1. we think that this appeal must prevail upon the authority of the decisions which have been quoted to us, viz., mohidin v. muhammad ibrahim (1. mad. h. c. eep., 245), nund eishore singh v. hurree pershad mundul (13 w. e., 64), fran nath sandyal v. bam coomar sandyal (2 c. l. r., 33), and the full bench decision in the case of gobind chunder koondoo v. taruck chunder bose (i. l. r., 3 cal., 145). it is clear that the self-same right and title, which are in issue in this case, have been substantially in issue and adjudicated upon in the previous case decided between the same parties on the 9th december 1874. in that case the subject of dispute was a plot of land forming part of what is called bund mahata ; it was claimed by one side as appertaining to mermah, and by the other side as appertaining to simrail kandi, and each party set up a certain potta from the same lessor in proof of title. it was found that although the land of bund mahata appertained to mouza mermah, yet, under the potta of the defendant, which was prior in date to that of the present plaintiffs, the superior title rested in the defendant. there, too, in respect of another portion of bund mahata, the same title is set forth, and therefore it seems to us that the principle of res judicata applies.2. the judgments of the lower courts are reversed, and the suit of the plaintiffs dismissed, with costs in all courts.
