Home Dictionary Name: land holder Page: 2Jagirdars
Jagirdars, the definition of jagir in s. 2(h) is, as provided therein, subject to any contrary intention which the context might disclose; and when s. 22(1)(a) enacts that on the resumption of jagir lands the rights of the jagirdar in the lands should cease, it clearly means that the holders of jagirs are jagirdars for the purpose of the section. There cannot be jagirs without there being Jagirdars, and therefore the word 'Jagirdar' in s. 22(1)(a) must mean all holders of jagirs including the tenures mentioned in the Schedule to the Act, Thakur Amar Singhji v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1955 SC 504 (532): (1955) 2 SCR 303. [Rajasthan Land Reforms and Resumption of Jagirs Act, 1952 (6 of 1952), ss. 2(h) and 22(1) (a)]...
Shares in public undertakings
Shares in public undertakings. Where the property is vested by charter or Act of Parliament in a body corporate, the shares of the individual corporators in the concern itself are personal, not real, estate; for such shares are merely the rights which each individual possesses as a partner to a share in the surplus profit derived from the employment of the capital, which is a mixed fund, consisting in part of personal chattels, as well as lands and fixtures. Shares in all companies which are within the Companies Acts (see the Companies Act, 1929, s. 62), OR THE Companies Clauses Act, 1845, are personal property; and in many cases of companies incorporated by special Act the shares have been expressly declared to be personal property. Before 1926 the question whether shares in other under-takings were real or personal property turned upon the nature of the shares-that is, whether the holder could call for a specific part of the land itself or only a share of the profits. See now UNDIVID...
