Raju Alias Srinivasan Chettiar vs Lakshmi Ammal And Anr. on 21 October, 1953
It was contended that on the principle of relation back the adopted son was entitled to divest the estate which passed on to the collateral. But the Full Bench did not accept that contention, and applying the principle in -- '12 Cal 18 (V)' negatived the rights of the adopted son. The decision in -- 'AIR 1943 PC 196 (O)' was confined to the facts of that particular case by the Pull Bench, and the learned Judges saw no reason to extend the principle beyond the limits imposed by the Privy Council. See also the decision of a single Judge of the same Court, Chagla C. J. in -- 'Dattatraya Govind v. Vaman Ramakrishna', (Z5) to the same effect.
