Chinta Dasya vs Bhalku Das on 17 March, 1930

In Parasnath Rai V. Tileshra Kuar 1965, All LJ 1080, Gangeshwar Prasad, J. followed the decision of the Calcutta High Court in Chinta Dasya V. Bhalku Das AIR 1930 Cal 591, wherein Mitter, J. held, that rules regarding transactions by a pardahnashin lady were equally applicable to an illiterate and ignorant woman, though she may not be pardahnashin. We are unable to comprehend as to why the broad principle which has been accepted and widely applied in the numerous decisions to which we have adverted should not also embrace within its sweep the cases of males who by reasons of their apparent physical or mental incapacity or infirmity or being placed in circumstances where they are greatly amenable to the overpowering influence of another person are induced to enter into conveyances and transactions relating to their property. The basic principle is the same and where it is proved to the satisfaction of the court either that the bargain was on the face of it unconscionable or the executant was the victim of physical or mental handicap or that he was subdued by the complexity of circumstances in which another person had an upper hand, the burden must be cast squarely on the person enjoying the dominating position to show that he secured the deed in good faith.
