Showing contexts for: custom defined in Ujagar Singh vs Mst. Jeo on 23 April, 1959Matching Fragments
" The result of the further enquiry is to show that the plaintiffs have been unable to prove that they are by custom entitled to exclude the sister of the last owner. On the other hand, there is some evidence, though not much, to show that sisters have inherited. It is indeed quite clear that no well defined custom is made out one way or the other."
The result was that the sister was held entitled to a share of the properties that came to her under the Mohammedan law, the parties being Mohammedans and no custom having been proved one way or the other. This was a case decided in 1884.
