The plaintiffs No.2 and 3 are the sons of the proforma defendant No.6 who were born out of the wedlock with the plaintiff No.1. The plaintiff No.2 was born on 12.11.77 while the plaintiff No.3 was born on 11.12.78 and both the plaintiff No.2 and 3 attained majority. After marriage, the plaintiff No.1 started to live in her matrimonial home at Sivasagar with the proforma defendant No.6 as wife and husband in the promises , popularly and commonly codified as „Jahnabi‟ more fully mentioned in schedule D in the plaint (hereinafter called as the “suit premises). 3. Parasuram Barua, the deceased husband of the defendant No.1 and the father of the defendants No.2,3,4,5 and 6 during his life time jointly possessed with his brother Prafulla Chandra Baruah (since deceased), by enjoying their respective right, title and interest thereon, in respect of the premises comprising an area of land 3 measuring 3 kathas 13 Lechas covered by P.P.No.1233 Dag No.4514 of Nagar Mahal Mouza, Sivasagar town which is morefully mentioned in schedule A of the plaint, land measuring 2 bighas 3 kathas 3 Lechas covered by P.P.No.1234 and 4524 of Nagar Mahal Mouza, Sivasagar town as described in the schedule B and an area of land measuring 07 Bighas 02 kathas 13 1/3 Lechas covered by P.P.No.1246 Dag No.4522 and 4521 of Nagarmahal Mouza, Sibsagar Town , more specifically mentioned in the schedule C of the plaint. After the death of Parasuram Baruah, some time during the year 1982, the name of the defendant No.1 in exclusion of other surviving heirs of the deceased Parasuram Barua, impleaded as defendants No.2,3,4 and 5 and the proforma defendant No.6 , was only mutated in the records of rights, for reasons best known to the defendant No.1. The endorsement in the body of the Jamabandi in respect of the land as described in schedule A , reveals that the name of the defendant No.1 was mutated in respect of 04 lochas of Dag No.4514 and P.P.No.1233 out of the total land as shown in schedule A by order dtd.28.5.93 of the Circle Officer, passed in Mutation case No.499 of 1990-91. Likewise, the Jamabandi in respect of the land as detailed in schedule B, reveals that the name of the defendant No.1 was mutated as heir to the deceased Prafulla Chandra Baruah and parasuram Barua, in respect of the land measuring 4 kathas 2 Lechas covered by Dag No.4524 of P.P.No.1234, out of the total land as mentioned in schedule B , by order dtd.3.1.94 passed by the Circle Officer, in M.C.No.469 of 1992- 93.

The plaintiffs have further submitted that the 4 exclusive devolution of the land morefully mentioned above , in the name of the defendant No.1 is illegal in absence of any instrument or Will to the effect of such devolution when the other co-heirs are surviving. The plaintiff No.1 suffered her extreme penury at the hand of her husband, the proforma defendant No.6, immediately after their marriage. The proforma defendant NO.6 is ill tampered and also alcoholic and even gambles. The unhappy marital life also witnessed the return of the proforma defendant No.6 at midnight and in the event of any protest raised by the plaintiff No.1, it ended with shower insults, physical torture and attempts made on different occasions to strangulate the plaintiff No.1. The displayed outrageous conduct of the proforma defendant No.6 had made the life of the plaintiff No.1 more miserable multiplied by the silence maintained the other defendants in bailing out the plaintiff No.1 from the sufferings undergone by the plaintiff No.1 at the hand of the proforma defendant No.6. 4. Land mentioned in schedule A, B and C were not effectively partitioned according to law amongst the heirs of lthe deceased Parasuram Baruah and Prafulla ch Baruah, which includes the suit premises mentioned in schedule D.

At the time of institution of the suit, the proforma defendant No.6 is also away from the jurisdiction of the Court and the probable place of his whereabouts could only be ascertained by the plaintiffs to be somewhere at Guwahati. The plaintiff No.1 is virtually deserted by the proforma defendant No.6. The plaintiffs are not seeking any relief against the proforma defendant No.6, but in the event of contesting the claim of the plaintiffs, the proforma defendant No.6 shall be treated as one of the main defendant. The plaintiffs are in possessing the entire suit premises, since neither of the defendants are residing or are in possession of the suit premises . The possession of the plaintiffs over the suit premises is lawful being the wife of the proforma defendant No.6. The status of the plaintiff No.1 as wife of 5 the proforma defendant No.6 is more than a social status involving legal rights and duties and the entitlement of the plaintiff No.1 for maintenance besides security to her personal life is vested in the proforma defendant No.6. The plaintiffs do not have any other means of livelihood nor any separate accommodation to live save and except the suit premises. The plaintiffs had acquired a legal character in view of the fact that the plaintiff No.1 is the legally married wife of the proforma defendant No.6 and plaintiff No.2 and 3 are the sons of plaintiff No.1 and the proforma defendant No.6 and all the plaintiffs had acquired a special interest in respect of the suit premises. The claim of the plaintiff at the time of institution of the suit had been terminated, when the defendant No.1 by her letter dtd.4.4.2002 addressed to the plaintiff No.1 demanded the plaintiff No.1 to vacate the suit premises in order to rend out the same to others. 5. The plaintiffs apprehends that if they are forced to vacate the suit premises, they will be homeless.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

As private partnerships they initiated and controlled a substantial body of commercial, industrial and agricultural concerns, in transport, coal, jute, financial services and, importantly, in tea. This topic has been largely ignored by other business historians, who have preferred to study the Managing Agencies’ eventual decline and extinction during the following half- century. However, it is equally instructive to examine the health and vigour that propelled young businesses towards the power and prosperity which blossomed before 1914. The thesis examines in some detail five Managing Agencies and the individual entrepreneurs who founded and ran them, necessarily selected according to the availability and usefulness of primary sources but providing a reasonably representative range of characteristics and business activities.

  • A Historical Background of Tea in Assam
    প্রতিধ্বতি the Echo ISSN 2278-5264 প্রতিধ্বতি the Echo An Online Journal of Humanities & Social Science Published by: Dept. of Bengali Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam, India. Website: www.thecho.in A Historical Background of Tea in Assam Gadapani Sarma Assistant professor, Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam, India Abstract Tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Tea in India is so popular that liking for it has reached the point of adoration. The best quality tea in India pours chiefly from Assam. It was way back in 1823 that Robert Bruce . a merchant and soldier, first spotted tea plant in Assam and this eventually led to East-India company developing a trade in it. A visit from Dr. Wallich to Assam in 1834 saw the formation of the Assam Company in England. Among the Indians, it was, however, Maniram Dewan, an Assamese noble man, who initiated planting tea leading many others, mostly Assamese, to follow in his footsteps. After independence, as the scenario change, Indian Companies like-Birla Tata entered the fray to become biggest producers of the coveted “Assam Tea”. The picture, however, is not completely rosy as the tea plantation, tea- estate have been severely affected in recent years by the militancy in the state. Dwindling economic condition, stiff competition in international market and recurrent slumps have not helped the cause either. This paper is an earnest effort to highlight the historical background of the development of tea industry of Assam. Introduction: Assam is the biggest in Assam enabled the East India Company producer of quality tea in India, contributing to develop a trade, which China had hitherto about 55 per cent to country‘s total tea monopolized.

    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 05, 2020 IMPACT OF IMMIGRATION IN COLONIAL ASSAM Dipu Sarmah Research Scholar, Department of History, Dibrugarh University, Assam, India Abstract Assam is a land of fertile soil and the state is known for her natural resources. Due to the reasons, a large number of people from within and outside the country were attracted and immigrated to the state. So the concept of immigration is not a new phenomenon in the context of Assam. But it was occurred in large scale under the influence of the interest of colonial government, which carried a serious threat to the society, polity, economy, linguistic pattern etc. in colonial Assam. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the various impact of immigration in colonial Assam. Keywords: Immigration, immigrants, Assam, land, etc. 1.INTRODUCTION The term Immigration is not a new concept for Assam. Prior to the British rule Assam was reigned by the Ahom rulers for long six hundred years. But owing to various reasons during the British rule Assam turned into an open place for the outsiders. Britishers encouraged people involved in different occupation to immigrate into Assam removing all the pre-laid rules and restrictions during Ahom dynasty. Under the British rule the administration, developing tea and other industries required a huge numbers of workers towards which local inhabitants were reluctant. Consequently there was an influx of thousand of persons into Assam. The state was totally open for the immigrants. In this write up an effort is taken to discuss about the noteworthy immigrants to Assam during colonial rule as well as the impact of the immigration.

  • Emergence of Small Tea Growers (Stgs)
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 Emergence of Small Tea Growers (STGs): Implications in Assam Aditya Gogoi Research scholar, Department of Economics Gauhati University, Guwahati, Assam, India, 781014 [email protected] Abstract: Tea, perhaps one of the ancient most beverages in the history of mankind, occupies a hot seat in the world of non alcoholic brands. Tea industry in India, which is nearly 200 years old, is among the most efficiently organised agricultural enterprises in the country. Owing to its soil species suitable for tea cultivation, Assam, which is one of eight North-Eastern states of India, has been the prima donna in tea production, contributing more than half of the nation’s total tea production. Though as many as 850 tea estates of Assam continue to play their roles in the state’s industrial configuration, the ever increasing importance of the Small Tea Growers (STGs), since its inception, cannot be undermined in current times. This paper tries to explore various reasons behind the emergence of small scale tea planters in Assam along with various prospects and constraints that are incorporated with tea cultivation in small holding. Moreover the paper is a humble attempt to demonstrate various relevant statistics regarding small holding tea production in the state. Key words: tea industry, tea production, Small Tea Growers (STGs). 1. INTRODUCTION Assam, the premier state among all the North-Eastern states of India, is the world’s largest tea producing region. Historically Assam has been the second commercial tea producing region after Southern China. The re-uttering colonial myth of “discovery” indicates the history of the Assam tea bush is attributed to Robert Bruce, a merchant cum soldier of British East India Company, who accidently encountered it in 1823.
