Bina Murlidhar Hemdev and Others v Kanhaiyalal Lokram Hemdev and Others
Supreme Court of India

14 May 1999
Appeal (civil) 3141 of 1999
The Judgment was delivered by : M. Jagannadha Rao, J.
1. Leave granted.
2. This appeal is filed by the four plaintiffs, the widow and children of late Murlidhar Lokram Hemdev who died intestate on or about 8.5.1976. The appeal is directed against the order of the High Court of Bombay in Appeal No. 1019 of 1997 dated 12.9.97 confirming the order of the learned Single Judge dated M.7.1997 in an application under Order 39 Rule 1 C.P.C[->0] in Special Suit No. 83 of 1997.
3. The facts of the case are as follows :
4. There was an unregistered partnership w.e.f, 27.7.1964 (to which, of course late Murlidhar was not party) under a deed dated 4.9.1964 between five persons who were in two groups, the sankhala group having 668 share and the Jains having 346 share. The said firm purchased land admeasuring 31,075 Sq. feet in Thane, with the intention of developing and selling the same. This firm is called the 'main firm' in these proceedings before us.
5. The Jain group entered into a sub-partnership, a registered firm dated 29.7.1964 with Lokram group consisting of 4 partners :
(i) Kanhaiyalal Lpkram Hemdev,
(ii) Murlidhar Lokram Hemdev (deceased) (father of plaintiffs-appellants),
(iii) Kanhaiyalal Sewaram and
(iv) Srichand Dharamdass.
In this sub-partnership, the Jain group and the Lokram group share in the ratio of 1:1 (i.e. 17%: 17% overall). In the Lokram group Murlidhar (the predecessor-in-interest of plaintiffs) had a 38% share out of 17% (i.e. 6.46%), the 1st defendant (Rl)

    The Brethren, co-authored by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong, is an in-depth documentary of the United States Supreme Court from 1969 to 1975, under the leadership of Warren Burger. The book attempts to present the reader with what "really" goes on in the Supreme Court. It describes the conferences, the personality of justices, and how justice's feel toward each other, items which are generally hidden from the public. This book is comparable to a lengthy newspaper article. Written more as a source of information than of entertainment, The Brethren is the brutal truth, but not boring. The storytelling is clearly slanted against the Burger court but the overall quality of the work makes…

    The Supreme Court Analysis

    I think some of the work of the Supreme Court is constrained by institutional roles and procedures but the vast majority of work done by the Supreme Court is autonomous. One of the first examples of constraint by an institutional role and longstanding tradition in the book “A Wild Justice” is “In the early 1960s, the notion that executions were cruel and unusual punishment seemed fanciful. When the Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution, the death penalty was mandatory for most felonies and used in every state. The Fifth Amendment referenced capital crimes explicitly and implicitly when it said no person should be deprived of “life, liberty, or property” without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in the aftermath of…

    Like the associate justices, the Chief Justice is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. There is no requirement that the Chief Justice must serve as an Associate Justice before being appointed to Chief Justice, but 5 of the 17 Chief Justices have served on the Court as Associate Justices prior to becoming Chief Justice. The first job of a Supreme Court justice is to decide what cases should be considered or appointed by the court. This is done by determining whether or not the proposed cases contain questions of constitutional violations or actions against the US. Almost all cases that come before Supreme Court justices are appeals, the cases were decided in lower courts, but one party was unhappy with the decision.…

    Decisions of the United States Supreme Court have had a significant impact on the nation. Multiple cases that have been brought upon the Supreme Court have huge impacts on the nation. A lot of these cases have had such an impact on American society that they’ve left a permanent mark. Marbury v.

    The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized (Fourth Amendment). The text of the Fourth Amendment does not define exactly what “unreasonable search” is. The framers of the constitution left the words “unreasonable search” open in order for the Supreme Court to interpret. Hence, by looking at the text of the Fourth Amendment, the words “unreasonable search” is very ambiguous and it’s the job of the Supreme Court to delineate the ambiguity of the words. In the case Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967), Katz was convicted of illegal wagering based on evidence obtained by attaching a small listening and recording device to the exterior of a public telephone booth that he regularly used for wagering calls (Kanovitz, 2010, p.268). The Supreme Court found that Katz’s Fourth Amendment right was violated by declaring,…

    The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the United States. It has ultimate (but largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and over state court cases involving issues of federal law, and original jurisdiction over a small range of cases. The Court, which meets in the United States Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C., consists of a chief justice and eight associate justices who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate. Once appointed, justices have life tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment.…
