Issues: Whether a mutwalli whose name is recorded in the khewat as a co-sharer can maintain a suit for profits under the Agra Tenancy Act.
Analysis: Under the scheme of the Agra Tenancy Act, a co-sharer is entitled to sue the lambardar for settlement of accounts and for his share in profits. The decisive consideration is the entry in the khewat and the liability attached to the recorded share, not whether the person has full proprietary estate in the share. A mutwalli of wakf property may not have the estate vested in him in the ordinary proprietary sense, but that does not prevent him from being treated as a co-sharer where he is recorded as holding the share and is liable for revenue through the lambardar. The term co-sharer was therefore read in a practical and not a narrow sense, and managers of endowed properties were treated as falling within its ambit for purposes of suits for profits.
Conclusion: The mutwalli was held entitled to maintain the suit for profits, and the contrary view taken by the Courts below was rejected.
Final Conclusion: The appeal succeeded, the decrees below were set aside, and the matter was sent back for decision of the remaining issues and for consequential relief.
Ratio Decidendi: For purposes of the Agra Tenancy Act, a person recorded in the khewat as a co-sharer is to be treated as such for a suit for profits, even if he is a mutwalli or otherwise lacks full proprietary estate in the share.
