Judgement

RAJAH MODENERAIN SINGH was the proprietor of the whole of mouzah Tranpore, belonging to the zemindary of Tikaree. He had two Hindu Ranees, the Appellant and Ranee Armedh, who, on his death, divided his estate into shares of 8 1/2 annas to Armedh, and 7 1/2 annas to the Appellant. He had no children by either of his Ranees.

By a Mahomedan concubine of the Sheeah sect, named Burratee Begum, he had a daughter named Shurfoonnissa, and other children. Six days after the birth of Shurfoonnissa, on the 8th of Magh, 1248 (January, 1841) the Rajah executed a mokurreree pottah of the said mouzah in favour of his said illegitimate daughter, reserving to himself a certain rent-charge out of the same. The grant was in these terms—
