<h1>Court recognizes valid charge under Hindu Law, reverses decision, deems gift irrevocable.</h1> The court held that the deed created a valid charge on the profits of the land, known as a 'corrody' under Hindu Law, reversing the Lower Appellate ... - Issues:1. Validity of a charge created on the produce of an estate inherited under Hindu Law.2. Interpretation of a document executed by a brother in favor of his sister for an annual payment.Analysis:1. The judgment revolves around the validity of a charge created on the produce of Singamvalasa lands inherited under Hindu Law. The appellant, a daughter of the deceased, sought a declaration of her right to receive an annual payment from her brother, as per a deed executed by him. The deed was considered to create a charge known as a 'corrody' under Hindu Law, supported as a settlement under English law. The court held that the deed was more than a mere promise, as it established a valid charge on the profits of the land. The lower Appellate Court's decision was reversed, and the Munsif's decree was restored with costs.2. The second appeal involved a document executed by the appellant's brother, agreeing to pay her an annual sum for her natural life. The court analyzed the document, acknowledging that the motive behind the grant was natural love, making it essentially a gift. However, the court noted that the document was acted upon for several years, indicating the donor's intention for the gift to be irrevocable. The court interpreted the gift as a 'corrody,' equivalent to a declaration of trust under Hindu Law. The court referred to the Contract Act, highlighting that a gift from natural love or affection may be irrevocable. The appeal was allowed, the Lower Appellate Court's decree was set aside, and the Court of First Instance's decree was restored, with costs awarded to the appellant.In conclusion, the judgment delves into the intricacies of Hindu Law regarding charges created on inherited estates and the interpretation of documents executed for annual payments. It establishes the validity of the charges created and the irrevocable nature of gifts made out of natural love or affection, providing a comprehensive analysis of the legal principles involved in the case.
