Headnote | Arbitration-Award-"Malik Mustaqil", meaning of-Whether conveys absolute estate-Award acted upon-Estoppel against contesting its validity. S and B were sons of two brothers respectively. S died in 1884 leaving a daughter M, surviving him. On the death of S dispute arose between B and M. B claimed the entire estate by survivorship, alleging that S died in a state of jointness with him and that all the properties were joint family properties and M was entitled only to maintenance. The dispute was referred to arbitration and an award was delivered. Under it the suit properties were given to M and the rest of the estate then in dispute was given to B. The operative part of the award stated inter alia that B, first party, and M, the second party, were held entitled to specified shares in the properties in dispute and each had become permanent owner (Malik Mustaqil) of his or her share. A division was effected and ever since the date of the award in 1884 each branch continued in possession of the properties allotted to it and each had been dealing with them as absolute owner. The defendants claimed that the plaintiffs were bound by the award and were in any event estopped from challenging it. In 1941 B's grandsons instituted a suit claiming the properties allotted to M claiming that on the death of S his daughter M succeeded to a limited estate and reversion opened out on her death in 1929 and the plaintiffs were entitled as next reversioners, as M's son had predeceased her. The defendants {M's grandsons) alleged that the property possessed by M consisted partly of property which belonged to her and partly of property which belonged exclusively to her father to which she succeeded as daughter. |
