..... hore and Mt. Janki Kuar in equal shares. On or about the time when the lease was executed Nand Kishore borrowed ₹ 2,500 from the lessee, but left that amount with him for payment to one Mangal Sen, in whose favour he had executed a promissory note for ₹ 2,100. 2. Under the terms of the lease ₹ 1,015-8-0 was payable to Mt. Janki Kuar. As regards his share of the rent, Nand Kishore entered into the following arrangement with the lessee. It was agreed upon that out of the rent due to Nand Kishore, i. e., ₹ 1,015-8-0 annually, the lessee would be entitled to deduct ₹ 500 per year with interest on the amount of ₹ 2,500 advanced by him to Nand Kishore at the rate of one rupee per cent per mensem.

..... A father, upon the marriage of his daughter, executed a deed whereby he covenanted to pay his daughter an annuity, and for the purpose of securing annuity appointed a receiver of the rents and profits of lands to which he had an estate for life with a direction to apply the moneys received as specified in the deed. 7. It was held that the deed created a charge upon the father's life estate in the lands. 8.

The said charge being contained in a registered instrument, the auction-purchasers must be deemed to have purchased the property with constructive notice of the existence of the charge. We are therefore of opinion that the contention put forward is without any force, being opposed to principle and unsupported by authority. 11. It is next contended that the plea put forward by the defendant vendee upon the terms of the lease as regards the payment of the debt due to him amounts to a plea of set-off and, as such, it offends against Section 193, Clause C, Agra Tenancy Act.
