Summary

The High Court of Madras followed the Privy Council ruling in Bakhtawar Begam v. Husaini Khanaum, stating that a mortgagor cannot redeem the mortgagee before the specified term without a contract allowing it. The court ruled in favor of the usufructuary mortgagees, as there was no evidence of such a contract, and dismissed the appeal with costs.
