The Advocate-general of Bombay Vs. Haji Ismail Hasham

Court : Mumbai

Decided on : Dec-17-1909

Reported in : (1910)12BOMLR274

Beaman, J.1. The defendant in this suit, one Haji Esmail, has put up a large building at the corner of Hornby-road and Church-gate Street. The plans were submitted to the Municipal authorities in 1907, and on the 23rd November 1907 the Engineering Department informed the defendant that there was no objection to the proposed extension as shown on the amended plans, provided the work was carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act and Building Bye-laws. The plans which were then submitted to the Municipal authorities give an all round height of 70 ft. But the permission granted by the Engineering Department is qualified and the defendant is warned that he must conform with the provisions of the Municipal Act and Building Bye-laws. Apparently at that time it had not occurred to the Municipal authorities that the proposed extension, meaning I suppose down Churchgate Street, would infringe any of those provisions or Bye-laws. The work progressed up to April 1909, when...

Ross No. 328 Argued October 19, 20, 1909 Decided November 15, 1909 215 U.S. 70 APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT Syllabus While the construction of the act of Congress under which a patent issued and what rights passed under the patent present federal questions which give the circuit court jurisdiction of the case as one arising under the laws of the United States, if prior decisions have so defined such rights that they are removed from controversy, jurisdiction does not exist in the absence of diverse citizenship. The decision in Shively v. Bowlby, 152 U. S. 1 , which determined the relative rights of a patentee of the United States and one holding under a conveyance from the land below high water mark applies equally to lands bordering on navigable waters, whether tidal or inland, a...

In enacting the copyright statute, Congress did not sanction an existing right, but created a new one dependent on compliance with the statute. Under existing copyright law of the United States, there is no provision for filing amendments to the first application, and, the matter being wholly subject to statutory regulation, copyright on a second application cannot be sustained. The statutory limit of copyright cannot be extended by new applications. 157 F. 186 affirmed. The facts are stated in the opinion. Page 215 U. S. 186 MR....
