DATE OF JUDGMENT: 14/12/1959


CITATION: 1960 AIR 444 1960 SCR (2) 431


RAMNAGAR TALUQ (Ramnagar estate was governed by the Oudh Estates Act (1 of 1869), and in the absence of any disposition by the holder for the time being, it appears to have devolved according to the rule of primogeniture.)



While these two suits were pending, the appellant was on November 12, 1945, declared by the District Judge of Lucknow under the provisions of the Lunacy Act, 1912, to be a person of unsound mind. Thereupon the Court of Wards assumed superintendence of the properties of the appellant under the provisions of the U.P. Court of Wards Act, hereinafter referred to as the Act, and placed them in the charge of the Deputy Commissioner of Barabanki district in which most of these properties were situate. The Court of Wards gave to these properties the name Ganeshpur estate. Upon such assumption of charge the -cause titles of the two suits were amended and in the place of the appellant's name, the name " Deputy Commissioner, Barabanki I/C Court of Wards, Ganeshpur estate " was substituted, such amendment being required by the provisions of s. 55 of the Act the terms of which we shall presently set out. The letters " I/C " in the substituted name were an abbreviation of the words " in charge of."

A few years later, the appellant recovered from her affliction and an order was passed by the District Judge, Lucknow on October 6, 1956, declaring her to be of sound mind. Her aforesaid guardians were thereupon discharged and she was put in possession of her properties.
