This is an instance of the various subterfuges that have been devised to evade the salutary provisions of the Bengal Tenancy Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. Two occupancy holdings were amalgamated in 1301 B. S., without any registered document, the lands remaining the same but the consolidated jama being an enhancement of more than 2 annas in the rupee on the old jama. The lower Courts have given a decree on the old state of things.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. It is contended before us that there ought to have been a finding as to whether the landlord and the tenant intended by this amalgamation to create a new tenancy. This was never the case of the appellant in the Courts below. In the first Court, his case was that the tenant was a non-occupancy-raiyat and that, therefore, he was liable to pay at the rate at which he had been paying for more than three years and that failing; his contention was that he was entitled to realise rent at the enhanced rate under proviso (1) to Section 29.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. Both the grounds failed on the Courts deciding first, that he was an occupancy-raiyat, and secondly, that there was no written document. It was never the case of the plaintiff that a new tenancy had been created or that the parties had intended to create a new tenancy. All the facts point to the conclusion that the old tenancy was to continue and that all the incidents of the tenancy were to remain unchanged.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. In this view of the case, there is no substance in this appeal and it is dismissed with costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calcutta High Court Kristadhan Ghose vs Golam Mandal on 6 December, 1916 Equivalent citations: 37 Ind Cas 862 Bench: D Chatterjee, Walmsley JUDGMENT 1.
