December 1. The Judgment of the Court was  deliv-<br \/>\nered by<br \/>\n    PATANJALI  SASTRI J.&#8211;This appeal arises out of  a\tsuit<br \/>\nbrought\t by the respondent in the court of  the\t Subordinate<br \/>\nJudge, Dhanbad, for recovery of arrears of royalty and\tcess<br \/>\nfrom  the  appellant and another alleged to be due  under  a<br \/>\ncompromise decree passed on the 6th March, 1923, in a previ-<br \/>\nous  suit between the predecessors in interest of  the\tpar-<br \/>\nties.\tThe only plea which is material for the\t purpose  of<br \/>\nthis  appeal is that the compromise decree not\thaving\tbeen<br \/>\nregistered  was inadmissible in evidence.  The courts  below<br \/>\nheld that the document did not require registration and gave<br \/>\neffect\tto  its\t terms in decreeing the\t suit.\t The  second<br \/>\ndefendant has preferred this appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>    The\t facts\tare not now in dispute and  may\t be  briefly<br \/>\nstated.\t  On  11th  March, 1921, one  Kumar  Krishna  Prasad<br \/>\nSingh (hereinafter  referred to\t as Kumar) granted a  perma-<br \/>\nnent  lease  of the right to the underground coal  in  5,800<br \/>\nbighas\tof  land  belonging to him to  Shibsaran  Singh\t and<br \/>\nSitaram\t Singh (hereinafter referred to as the Singhs) by  a<br \/>\nregistered  patta stipulating for a salami of Rs. 8,000\t and<br \/>\nroyalty at the rate of 2a. per ton of coal raised subject to<br \/>\na  minimum  of Rs. 8,000 and for certain  other\t cesses\t and<br \/>\ninterest.  On 7th June, 1921, Kumar executed another  perma-<br \/>\nnent  patta leasing the right to the coal in 500 bighas\t out<br \/>\nof  the 5,800 bighas referred to above to one Prayngji\tBal-<br \/>\nlavji  Deoshi  and his son  Harakchand\tDeoshi\t(hereinafter<br \/>\nreferred to as the Deoshis).  By this document.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">835<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the Deoshis agreed inter alia to pay royalty at the rate  of<br \/>\n2a.  per  ton  on all classes of coal raised  subject  to  a<br \/>\nminimum\t of  Rs. 750 a year. The Singhs\t feeling  themselves<br \/>\naggrieved  by  the latter transaction brought a\t title\tsuit<br \/>\n(No. 1291 of 1921) in the Court of the Subordinate Judge  of<br \/>\nDhanbad for a declaration of their title and for  possession<br \/>\nof the 500 bighas leased to the Deoshis under the  aforesaid<br \/>\npatta  of  7th June, 1921.  To that suit Kumar\twas  made  a<br \/>\nparty as defendant No. 3, the Deoshis being defendants 1 and\n<\/p>\n<p>2.  The suit was however cornpromised on 6th March, 1923, by<br \/>\nall  the  parties and a decree based on the  compromise\t was<br \/>\nalso passed on the same day.  The interest of the Singhs was<br \/>\nbrought\t to sale in 193S in execution of a  decree  obtained<br \/>\nagainst\t them and was purchased by the plaintiff who  insti-<br \/>\ntuted  the presnt  suit on 3rd October, 1942,  claiming\t the<br \/>\nroyalty\t and cesses payable under the compromise decree\t for<br \/>\nthe period from Pous 1345 to Asadh 1349 B.S. from defendants<br \/>\n1  and 2 as the representatives of the Deoshis\twho  entered<br \/>\ninto the compromise of March, 1923.\n<\/p>\n<p>    In\torder to appreciate the contentions of the  parties,<br \/>\nit is necessary to set out the relevant terms of the compro-<br \/>\nmise decree which are as follows :&#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>    &#8220;The plaintiffs (the Singhs) within two months from this<br \/>\ndate  shall  pay  Rs. 8,000 as salami  to  defendant  No.  3<br \/>\n(Kumar).

Both\t the<br \/>\ndefendants  1 and 2 shall remain bound to pay to the  plain-<br \/>\ntiffs commission at the rate of 2a. 6p. per ton on all sorts<br \/>\nof  coal instead of 2a. a ton as stated before in the  patta<br \/>\nof  5,800  bighas of land settled  with\t the  plaintiffs.The<br \/>\nplaintiffs shall pay to defendant No. 3 in future the  mini-<br \/>\nmum royalty of Rs. 6,000 instead of Rs. 8,000 as  stipulated<br \/>\nin the original patta of 11 th March 1921 and commission  at<br \/>\nthe rate of la. 9p. a ton in place of 2a. a ton as stipulat-<br \/>\ned  in the patta of March 21  &#8230;&#8230;  Unless the  plaintiffs<br \/>\npay  to the defendant No. 3 Rs. 8,000 within 2\tmonths\tfrom<br \/>\nthis  day they shall not be competent to take out  execution<br \/>\nof this decree, nor shall they be competent to take  posses-<br \/>\nsion  of the land in dispute. The defendants 1 and 2  within<br \/>\none month from the date of payment of Rs. 8,000 as aforesaid<br \/>\nto  defendant No. 3 shall execute a new Kabuliyat in  favour<br \/>\nof  the\t plaintiff in respect of the modified  terms  stated<br \/>\nabove, i.e., on the condition to pay commission at the\trate<br \/>\nof 2a. 6p. per ton&#8230;In the new patta which defendant No.  3<br \/>\nwill execute in favour of the plaintiffs he shall embody the<br \/>\ncondition that the annual minimum royalty will be Rs.  6,000<br \/>\ninstead\t of Rs. 8,000 and commission will be at the rate  of<br \/>\nla. 9p. per ton in place of 2a. per ton as mentioned in\t the<br \/>\naforesaid  patta.  If the defendant No. 3 does\tnot  execute<br \/>\nthe  parts on the aforesaid modified terms in favour&#8217;of\t the<br \/>\nplaintiffs within the time aforesaid and both the defendants<br \/>\n1  and\t2 also do not execute a kabuliyat on  the  aforesaid<br \/>\nmodified terms, then this very rafanama shall be treated  as<br \/>\nthe  parts and kabuliyat, and the plaintiffs  in  accordance<br \/>\nwith the terms of the rafanama shall pay to defendant No. 3,<br \/>\nRs. 6,000 only as minimum royalty and commission at the rate<br \/>\nof  la. 9p. per ton with respect to 5,800 bighas  and  shall<br \/>\ncontinue  to realise commission at the rate of 2a.  6p.\t per<br \/>\nton  from defendants 1 and 2 who shall remain bound  to\t pay<br \/>\nthe same.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">837<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The  answer to the question whether this  compromise  decree<br \/>\nrequires  registration\tdepends on the legal effect  of\t the<br \/>\nchanges in the status quo ante of the parties brought  about<br \/>\nby  the document.  A careful analysis reveals the  following<br \/>\nalterations :&#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>    (1)\t In the lease to the Singhs, the rate of royalty  or<br \/>\ncommission  was reduced from 2a. per ton of coal  raised  to<br \/>\nla. 9p. per ton and the minimum royalty was reduced from Rs.<br \/>\n8,000 to Rs. 6,000 while the area of coal land in their khas<br \/>\npossession was reduced by 500 bighas.\n<\/p>\n<p>    (2)\t In the lease to the Deoshis the rate of royalty  or<br \/>\ncommission was enhanced from 2a. per ton to 2a. 6p. per\t ton<br \/>\nand tiffs was made payable to the Singhs.\n<\/p>\n<p>    The Singhs and the Deoshis were brought into a new legal<br \/>\nrelationship,  the  former accepting the latter\t as  tenants<br \/>\nholding the disputed 500 bighas under them in  consideration<br \/>\nof  the latter agreeing to pay the enhanced royalty  to\t the<br \/>\nformer.\n<\/p>\n<p>    (4)\t The whole arrangement was made conditional  on\t the<br \/>\nSinghs\tpaying Rs. 8,000 to Kumar within 2 months  from\t the<br \/>\ndate of the compromise, it being expressly provided that the<br \/>\nSinghs\twere not to be entitled to execute the decree or  to<br \/>\ntake  possession  of the disputed area of 503  bighas  which<br \/>\nevidently had not till then passed into their possession.<br \/>\n    Now,  sub-section (1) of section 17 of the\tRegistration<br \/>\nAct, enumerates five categories of documents of which regis-<br \/>\ntration\t is  made compulsory which include&#8221;  (d)  leases  of<br \/>\nimmoveable  property  from  year to year, or  for  any\tterm<br \/>\nexceeding  one year, or reserving a yearly rent;&#8221;. Sub\tsec-<br \/>\ntion  (2) however provided that &#8220;nothing in clauses (b)\t and\n<\/p>\n<p>(c) of sub-section (1)applies to &#8230;&#8230;\t (vi) any decree  or<br \/>\norder  of court.&#8221; It may be mentioned in passing  that\tthis<br \/>\nclause was amended with affect from the 1st April, 1930,  by<br \/>\nthe  Transfer  of Property  (Amendment)\t Supplementary\tAct,<br \/>\n1929,  so  as  to exclude from the scope  of  the  exception<br \/>\ncompromise decrees comprising immovable property other\tthan<br \/>\nthat which is the subject-matter of the suit.  But<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">838<\/span><br \/>\nthe  amendment cannot affect the document here\tin  question<br \/>\nwhich  came into existence in 1923.  Before  the  amendment,<br \/>\nthe  clause  was  held to  cover  even\tcompromise   decrees<br \/>\ncomprising   immovable\tproperty which was not\tthe  subject<br \/>\nmatter\tof the suit:  [Vide Hemanta Kumari Debi v.  Midnapur<br \/>\nZamindari  Co.\t(&#8216;)]. That decision applies to\tthe  present<br \/>\ncase and obviates the objection that because the  compromise<br \/>\nin  question covered also the remaining 5,300  bighas  which<br \/>\nwere  not the subject-matter of the title suit of  1921,  it<br \/>\nwas  outside the scope of the exception in sub-section\t(2),<br \/>\nclause (vi).\n<\/p>\n<p>    The only question, therefore, is whether the  compromise<br \/>\ndecree is a &#8220;lease&#8221; [which expression includes &#8220;an agreement<br \/>\nto  lease&#8221;  by the definition in section 2 (7)]\t within\t the<br \/>\nmeaning of el. (d) of sub-section (1). It is obvious that if<br \/>\nthe compromise decree fails within clause (d) of sub-section<br \/>\n(1)  it\t would not be protected under clause  (vi)  of\tsub-<br \/>\nsection\t (2) which excepts only documents falling under\t the<br \/>\ncategories  (b) and (c) of sub-section (1).  The High  Court<br \/>\nwas  of opinion that, on a proper construction of the  terms<br \/>\nof the compromise, it did not fall under clause (d).   Mano-<br \/>\nhar  Lall J., who delivered the leading judgment,  observed:<br \/>\n&#8220;It was a tripartite agreement embodied in the decree of the<br \/>\ncourt and was, therefore, exempt from registration. It\twill<br \/>\nbe  oh.served also that so far as the defendants  were\tcon-<br \/>\ncerned,\t their possession of the 500 bighas was\t not  inter-<br \/>\nfered  with  and they still remained in\t possession  as\t the<br \/>\nlessees, but instead of paying the royalty to the plaintiffs<br \/>\nit  was agreed between all the parties that  the  defendants<br \/>\nwould  pay the royalty in future to Shibsaran  and  Sitcram.<br \/>\nIf the matter had stood there, the learned Advocate for\t the<br \/>\nappellant  could not have seriously contested the  position,<br \/>\nbut he vehemently argued that when the agreement was not  to<br \/>\npay  the same amount of royalty or commission as  previously<br \/>\nagreed\tto but an altered amount of royalty and\t commission,<br \/>\nthe  document should be held to fall within the mischief  of<br \/>\nsection 17 (1)(d)of the<br \/>\n(1) 47 Cal. 485: P.C.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">839<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Registration  Act.  The answer to this contention is,  as  I<br \/>\nhave stated just now, to be found in the Full Bench decision<br \/>\nof  this court :&#8221; [see Charu Chandra Mitra&#8217;s case  ()].\t  It<br \/>\nwas  there held that a mere alteration of the rent  reserved<br \/>\ndoes not make the transaction a new lease so as to bring  it<br \/>\nwithin clause (d)of subsection (1).\n<\/p>\n<p>    We are unable to share this view.  It oversimplifies the<br \/>\ncompromise transaction which, in our opinion, involves\tmuch<br \/>\nmore than a mere alteration of the royalties stipulated\t for<br \/>\nin the previous pattas executed by Kumar.  Nor can we accept<br \/>\nthe  suggestion of Mr. Chatterjee for the respondents  theft<br \/>\nthe  compromise operated as an assignment to the  Singhs  by<br \/>\nKumar of the latter&#8217;s reversion under the &#8220;lease granted  to<br \/>\nthe  Deoshis and all that the latter did was to\t acknowledge<br \/>\nthe Singhs as their landlords and attern to them.  On  tiffs<br \/>\nview  it was said that the transaction\t would\t  not\tfall<br \/>\nunder\t clause\t (d),  although it would fall under   clause\n<\/p>\n<p>(b)  but  then would  be  saved\t by the exception in  clause\n<\/p>\n<p>(vi)  of   sub-section\t(2).\tThe    argument,    however,<br \/>\noverlooks that Kumar had leased the area of 5,800 bighas  to<br \/>\nthe  Singhs  by his patta dated 11th March,  1921,  and\t the<br \/>\ncompromise  by\tproviding  that the Singhs  should  pay\t the<br \/>\nreduced\t royalty of 1a. 9p. per ton in respect of the  whole<br \/>\narea  preserved\t Kumar&#8217;s  reversion intact.   He  could\t not<br \/>\ntherefore be deemed to have assigned any part of his  inter-<br \/>\nest  in 5,800 bighas as landlord to the Singhs who  continue<br \/>\nto  hold the entire extent as tenants under him.   What\t the<br \/>\ncompromise  really did was. as stated already, to bring\t the<br \/>\nSinghs\tand  the Deoshis into a new  legal  relationship  as<br \/>\nunderlessor and under lessee in respect of 500 bighas  which<br \/>\nwere  the subject-matter of the title suit; in other  words,<br \/>\nits  legal effect was to create a perpetual  underlease\t be-<br \/>\ntween  the Singhs and the Deoshis which would  clearly\tfall<br \/>\nunder  clause  (d) but for the circumstance that it  was  to<br \/>\ntake  effect  only on condition float the  Singhs  paid\t Rs.<br \/>\n8,000 to Kumar within 2 months<br \/>\n(1) 3 P.L.J. 255<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">840<\/span><br \/>\nthereafter.   As  pointed out by the Judicial  Committee  in<br \/>\nHemanta Kumar&#8217;s case (1)  &#8220;An agreement for a lease, which a<br \/>\nlease is by the statute declared to include, must, in  their<br \/>\nLordships&#8217;  opinion, be a document which effects  an  actual<br \/>\ndemise and operates as a lease\t&#8230;&#8230;\tThe phrase which  in<br \/>\nthe  context where it occurs and in the statute in which  it<br \/>\nis  found,  must in their opinion relate  to  some  document<br \/>\nwhich  creates a  present  and\timmediate  interest  in\t the<br \/>\nland.&#8221; The compromise decree expressly provides that  unless<br \/>\nthe sum of Rs. 8,000 was paid within the stipulated time the<br \/>\nSinghs were not to execute the decree or to take  possession<br \/>\nof the disputed property.  Until the payment was made it was<br \/>\nimpossible  to determine whether there would be\t any  under-<br \/>\nlease  or not.\tSuch a contingent agreement  is\t not  within<br \/>\nclause\t(d)  and although it is covered by  clause  (b).  is<br \/>\nexcepted  by clause (vi) of sub-section (&#8216;2).  We  therefore<br \/>\nagree  with the conclusion of the High Court though on\tdif-<br \/>\nferent grounds and dismiss the appeal with costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t  Appeal dismisseel.\n<\/p>\n<p>Agent for the appellant: P.K.
