Abdul Hamid Khan vs Babu Lal And Ors.

High Court Of Judicature at Allahabad|09 January, 1913

JUDGMENT / ORDER

JUDGMENT Tudball, J.
1. This is an application in revision against the order of the Judge of the Small Cause Court at Allahabad. The plaintiff, who is the applicant here, is a lessee of a ferry from the Cantonment Committee of Allahabad. The defendants are fisher-men, who according to the plaintiff, are landing their fish on the river bank where his ferry is situate. He claims that as lessee of the ferry he is entitled to a fixed toll of annas 8 per boat. The suit was instituted in the Court of Small Causes at Allahabad and the Judge of that Court has held that he had no jurisdiction as the suit is one which falls under Clause 13 of the second Schedule of the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act. The plaintiff comes here in revision and urges that the suit is cognizable by the Court below. Article 13 contemplates a suit to enforce payment of dues when such dues are payable to a person by reason of his interest in immoveable property and the question is whether the plaintiff by reason of his lease of the ferry has an interest in immoveable property. The point was considered in two cases, namely, Gokal Chand v. Lal Chand 48 P.R. 1897 and Desa Singh v. Narain Das 80 P.R. 1898. The right to a ferry, no doubt, is a benefit which arises out of land and comes within the definition of immoveable property under Section 3(25) of the General Clauses Act. I fully agree with the two above mentioned rulings. In my opinion, the order of the Court below is perfectly right. I dismiss the application. The costs of this application will abide the result and will be costs in the cause.
