1929 (10) TMI 4 - Other - Indian Laws

Summary

The appeal was dismissed by the Privy Council. The appellant claimed ownership of lands given by Hote Khan, but this claim was not accepted. The lands were transferred to Hote Khan's widow, who likely transferred them to her spiritual adviser as trustee. The appellant's claim of ownership by gift was not made in the defense and was therefore dismissed. No costs were awarded as the respondents did not appear.
