Mohendra Nath Roy who had been for years a leader of the Bar on the Appellate Side of the High Court and at the time of his death was the President of the Vakils' Association. [...] A very able and learned lawyer and a dis+Anguish.ed advocate he won the confidence and esteem of both the Bench and the Bar and lived up to the highest ideal of professional integrity. [...] The appeals were heard ex parte last term but the Raja was able to petition the Judicial Committee before judgment was deinored and to establish the fact that his failure to be represented at the time of the hearing was due to the fault of his agent. [...] The suit was of the requisite value but the Indian Courts were of opinion that no substantial question of law was involved the appeal Court having affirmed the decree of the trial Judge. [...] The Maharaja had now bought up the rights of the 1st Appellant and the appeal was dismissed as against him without prjudice to the rights of his son the 2nd Appelant.
