The Secretary Of State For India In ... vs Rajah Of Venkatagiri on 2 March, 1916
Therefore, the decision in Secretary of State v. Rajah of Venkatagiri 73 Ind. Cas. 741 : 44 M. 864 : 30 M.L.T. 164 : 41 M.L.J. 624 : (1922) M.W.N. 1 : 26 C.W.N. 809 : A.I.R. 1982 P.C. 168 : 41 I.A. 415 (P.C.) is not of any real guidance to me in these cases. Some arguments were advanced whether the inams in the present case are personal inams or public inams In the view I take, it is not necessary to record a definite opinion, on that question. Assuming they are public inams, then, prima facie, the zemindar Could not claim to resume them. If, however, they are assumed to be personal. inams, then, there are findings by the lower Appellate Court that these lands were, granted to the inamdars burdened with particular service and that these services are not required by the zemindar, and that there has been no violation of the terms of the grant by the inamdars nor any default on their part in the rendering of the services.
