ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT
MUKERJI, J.
Puncham Lal & Ors. - Appellants
Versus
Muhammad Yaqub Khan & Ors. - Respondents
Decided On : 25-11-1925
JUDGMENT
Mukerji, J. - I do not think I should interfere in this case in revision. Certain minors brought a suit for recovery of a certain property on the strength of a deed of gift alleged to have been executed by their mother, who is said to be still alive, in their favour. The deed of gift was a registered document. But the learned Munsif returned it because a marginal witness had not been called to prove it. The executant of the deed was a Muhammadan and the registration was enough to give it validity. The document had bean proved otherwise than by the examination of a marginal witness. A further question was whether the father, who executed the document on behalf of his wife, had an authority. There was a mutation of names in favour of the minors. It was really a question of technicality on which the suit of the plaintiffs failed because the power of attorney had not been filed. In the circumstances I am not in a position to say that the Judge in allowing the plaintiffs to withdraw their suit, acted without jurisdiction. He may have committed an error of judgment and even of that I am not quite sure.
