Wali Mohammad vs Mohammad Baksh on 16 December, 1929
All that that case laid down, relying on Wall Muhammad v. Muhammad Baksh (1929) 59 M.L.J. 53 : L.R. 57 I.A. 86 : I.L.R. 11 Lah. 199 (P.C.) was that where the question to be decided is one of fact, it does not involve an issue of law merely because documents which were not instruments of title or otherwise the direct foundations of rights, but were really historical materials have to be construed for the purpose of deciding the question. There is no such instrument in this case which is in the nature of merely a historical material or document upon which no title is founded. On the other hand there are clear dicta of the Privy Council in other cases holding that where the inference is a legal inference arising from facts, the proper effect thereof is a question of law.
