Hargovind Fulchand Doshi Vs. Bai Hirbai

Court : Mumbai

Reported in : (1920)22BOMLR619; 58Ind.Cas.205

..... the point for decision is whether sections 31 and 32 of the bombay court of wards act are applicable to this suit. ..... by the gujarat talukdars' act and court, of wards act the right to sue a talukdar in the one case and a government ward in the other, is left unaffected, except in certain specified cases with which we are not now concerned; though suits against the court of wards and officers acting thereunder are broadly speaking prohibited by section 45 of the court of wards act. ..... the manager under the gujarat talukdars' act is to divide the surplus receipts amongst the talukdars (section 29)(3)); the manager under the court of wards act disposes of the entire profits in a manner similar to that of a guardian (sections 23 to 27 of the court of wards act). ..... but if the policy of the gujarat talukdars' act is different; if that act contemplates the talukdar himself as the real litigant; in other words if it regards a suit like the present as in substance and in reality a suit against the talukdar personally; then to apply sections 31 and 32 of the court of wards act would be to go clean against the policy of the gujarat talukdars' act.6. ..... the particular reason which appeals to my mind is this, in the case of talukdars there is not, as in the case of government wards, the same need for such provisions as sections 31 and 32 of the court of wards act contain: for the severance of the talukdar from his estate is less complete, the management is of a more restricted kind. .....

..... his estate was in charge of the court of wards; that a notice calling for submission of claims was published in the government gazette of the 6th june 1907; that the defendant did not submit his claim as a mortgagee within six months as required by the said notice; that, therefore, notice was issued to the defendant to give up possession of the land on the 25th october 1913 under the bombay land revenue code; that possession was taken of the land on the 3rd june 1914 in the presence of the panch; that defendant took ..... the defendant denied the claim and alleged that the notice did not bind him; that section 14 of the court of wards act did not bind him, nor did it entitle the plaintiff to maintain the present suit against him, a mortgagee in possession. ..... under section 14 (1) the notice would be published in the government gazette and in such other manner as the governor-in-council may, by general or special order, direct, and i think our best course is to send a copy of the proceedings in this case and our judgment to government, suggesting that some special order should be made under section 14 (1) of the court of wards act with regard to the further publication of notices calling for claims under that section. .....

Miss M.J. D'silva Vs. Miss D.J.S. Minizis

Court : Mumbai

Reported in : (1912)14BOMLR1207; 17Ind.Cas.972

basil scott, kt., c.j.1. accepting the view of the district judge stated in his judgment of the 7th of october 1911 in support of his order returning the plaint for presentation to the subordinate judge's court, we take it that the second defendant was appointed court of wards under section 3(c) of bombay act i of 1905.2. the question is whether he is sued as an officer of government in his official capacity.3. section 3 of the court of wards act of 1905 enables the governor in council to appoint certain officers to be a court of wards for any part of the presidency. the power of the governor in council is confined to the appointment of officers and, therefore, it is only as an officer of government that the second defendant is a court of wards, we think, therefore, that he is an officer of government sued in his official capacity and that, therefore, under section 32 of act xiv of 1869, the subordinate judge's court cannot entertain the suit.4. we, therefore, affirm the order of the subordinate judge.5. if the plaint is not presented in the proper court within a month the plaintiff must pay all the costs. if it is so presented the costs throughout will be costs in the cause.

..... of the provisions of section 40, proviso 3, bombay court of wards act, i [1] of 1905, no land-holder, who has been made a government ward in pursuance of section 9 (1) of the act, is competent on the withdrawal of the superintendence of the court of wards to transfer or create any charge on or interest in his property or any part thereof beyond the term of his natural life, except with the previous sanction of the collector ..... the argument of the learned advocate on the second point was twofold, (a) that, the covenant for quiet enjoyment came to an end on the death of ganpatrao when the sale deed itself became void and (b) that the covenant for quiet enjoyment to allow the transferee to remain in possession from generation to generation without obstruction amounted to an agreement to do what was prohibited by the bombay court of wards act, and hence the agreement was void and unenforceable and damages could not be recovered for failing to carry out ..... the bombay court of wards act imposes a disqualification upon the rights of a person whose estate has passed under the superintendence of the court of wards and which has ..... the bombay court of wards act, however, does not impose a general incapacity upon such a person to contract with regard ..... there is no ground for holding that damages for breach of covenant for quiet enjoyment entered into by a vendor who sells property and the sale contravenes the provisions of section 40, proviso 3, bombay court of wards act, cannot 'be recovered.26. .....
