Emperor vs Ganga Prasad on 20 July, 1907
As observed by Malik J. in 'Emperor v. Gaya Prasad', ILR 1947 All 741 : AIR (35) 1948 All 94: 49 Cr L J 15), Section 145 being a preventive section a liberal interpretation should be given. He has further observed that it must include movable property attached to earth. The chapter in which Section 145 occurs is headed 'Disputes as to immovable properties'. This shows that land in Section 145 is used as synonymous with immovable property which
includes things attached to earth. Mill therefore which is attached to the earth will fall within the scope of immovable property or land. It is in this view that the dispute though it may be to the mill really includes the dispute to the land in which it is situate & Section 145 will apply.
