Court : Kolkata

Reported in : (1876)ILR1Cal220

richard garth, c.j.1. i am happy to say, that since last evening, some papers have been discovered, which will render any further discussion of this rule unnecessary.2. it appears, that in 1869, in a case which in its circumstances very closely resembled the present, it was decided by no less than nine judges of this court, that the proper course was to apply to the court, sitting in its judicial capacity upon affidavits, in the usual way; and i am extremely glad to find that no less distinguished a judge than mr. justice louis jackson, was one of the judges who took part in that decision. this was the case of the queen v. pogose referred to by mr. woodroffe. an application in that case was made by mr. herschel, the officiating sessions judge of dacca, to the registrar of this court, suggesting that an order should be obtained for the transfer of the proceedings to the high court for trial. i will read his letter, dated the 11th of june 1869.i have the honour to request that you will lay before the hon'ble judges of the high court the following circumstances and solicit orders thereon for me. the magistrate of dacca has committed the four principal armenian residents of this city on a charge of misappropriating a large sum of money, the property of the wealthiest armenian of dacca, on his decease. the charge is brought on behalf of government on the motion of the educational department, who claim the money as intended for a school. technically the government is prosecutor .....

pontifex, j.1. this case, which has been argued in the settlement of issues, raises many troublesome and difficult questions.2. dwarkanath tagore, who died about the year 1846, left three sons--debendronath, who is still living and is the principal defendant in this suit; greendronath, who died in 1854, leaving two sons, ganendronath, who died in 1869, and ganendronath, who is a defendant in this suit, and nogendronath, who died in 1858, without issue, leaving a widow, who is the plaintiff in this suit. dwarkanath tagore, by his will made in 1843, appointed a mr. gordon and his three sons his executors (all of whom, except nogendro, proved the will), and, after thereby confirming a certain deed of settlement of the 20th of august 1840, making certain devises and bequests (including a devise of a piece of land and a bequest of rs. 20,000, for the purposes of building a house thereon, to his son nogendronath), the testator dwarkanath gave the beneficial interest in the residue of his real and personal estate in effect, and according, as i am informed, to the construction placed on such residuary devise by the supreme court in 1847, to his three sons absolutely, as tenants in common. i shall state later on my reasons for considering that the executors of dwarkanath's will took there under the whole of his residuary estate as trustees.3. by the settlement of the 20th of august 1840, referred to in his will, dwarkanath conveyed very valuable immoveable estate, the whole of it .....

Lakshman Dada Naik Vs. Ramchandra Dada Naik

Court : Mumbai

Reported in : (1877)ILR1Bom561

melvill, j.1. in this suit the parties are brothers, and the plaintiff sues for a partition of the family property.2. this is not the first litigation of the kind between these parties. at the beginning of the year 1861 the plaintiff filed a bill in the late supreme court at bombay against his father dada naik and his brother, the present defendant, to obtain an immediate partition of the family estate. that case is reported at 1 bom. h.c. rep., appx. lxxvi. the defendants demurred to the bill, and the demurrer was allowed by sausse, c.j., and arnould, j., on the grounds that the right of a son to a compulsory partition, if it exists at all against the father, does not extend to moveable property, and because the only immoveable property, of which a partition was claimed, appeared upon the face of the bill not to be within the jurisdiction of the court. the court considered that, as between a father and his sons, in the distribution of paternal or other ancestral estate, the father takes the moveable property absolutely, or subject only to certain conditions, none of which had been broken upon the facts appearing on the record.3. on the 30th october 1871 dada naik made a will (exhibit 16). in this document he stated that his eldest son ramchandra (the present plaintiff) had misconducted himself, and had also received more than his share of the property; and he, therefore, left the whole of his property (subject to certain trusts) to his undivided son lakshman (the present .....

Januk Singh Vs. BheknaraIn Singh and anr.

Court : Kolkata

Reported in : (1877)ILR2Cal439

white, j.1. it is to be observed that the present suit is not one in which a son is seeking to set aside a sale of ancestral property made by his father or to recover from a purchaser ancestral property which has been sold in execution of a decree against the father; but a suit in which a creditor, in whose favour a father has created a charge upon the ancestral immoveable estate, is endeavouring to enforce that charge against the share or interest of the sons in that ancestral estate, where the latter were no parties to the charge, and were also minors at the time of its creation. such being the nature of the present suit, the proposition of law laid down by the officiating judge amounts to this, that when a creditor brings such a suit, he is entitled to a decree against the sons upon simply proving the loan and the instrument of charge, and that his right to a decree can only be defeated, in the event of the sons showing that the money was advanced for an immoral purpose. in other words, any charge which the father may create upon the ancestral immoveable property during the minority of his sons is a valid charge, and must he satisfied out of that property, unless the sons, on whom the judge throws the burden of proof, can show that the charge was created to secure money borrowed by the father for immoral purposes. if this be good law, it follows that the interests in the ancestral immoveable property, which, under the mitakshara law, are vested in sons by their birth, are .....
