The Calcutta Weekly Notes Law Notes and Notes of Cases of the Calcutta High Court and of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and the English Law Courts Monday December 1 1924

The learned Sessions Judge did not in the circumstances consider it worth his while to differ from the jury and refer the case to the High Court and thus unnecessarily waste the time of the Hon'ble Judges. [...] As regards the cases of internment they folow the drastic provisions of the rules framed under the Defence of India Act at the time of the great war. [...] The charters under which the High Courts in India were established gave powers to the Judges of the Hon'ble Courts following the time-honoured practice of the High Court of England. [...] An application was made in the above suit for special leave to appeal from the judgment of the High Court of Madras The question on which the applicant desired the decision of the Board was as to the age of majority of an adopting father under the Mitakshara. [...] During the argument the question as to the admissibility of the appeal was raised on the ground of concurrent findings of fact in the lower Courts.
