Ulfat Hossain vs Gayani Dass on 18 May, 1909
It is true, as has been argued before us, that that case was decided on the respective rights of a mortgagor and mortgagee, but the fact that the brits merged in the talukdars' interest is an essential portion of the grounds for the decision arrived at. Considering the authority of this case and the view that has been taken of its application in Surja Narain Mandal v. Nanda Lal Siriha (1906) I.L.R. 33 Calc. 1212) we consider that we must treat the mokarari has having merged in Rai Radha Kissen's superior interest. It has been attempted to show that Rai Radha-Kissen treated the mokarari interest as subsisting after his purchase, and that it would have been to his interest to do so; because in the event of a Revenue Sale of the share it would not have been affected. There is no direct evidence that he did so treat it, and the argument that he must be taken to have done so to protect himself against a Revenue Sale seems to be amply met by the fact that a Revenue Sale took place within a year of his purchase, and yet he has in his statement of claim expressly disclaimed any right to take advantage of the mokarari.
