LAST MODIFIED:  
1. On 2-8-1949 Maharaja Umrao Singh, one of the appellants in the present appeal, instituted a suit against the respondent Maharaja Bhagwati Singh and three others on the allegation that Maharaja Sumer Singhji of Indergarh having died without male issue, the plaintiff was the sole heir of the deceased, and the respondent Bhagwati Singh, minor, was falsely alleging himself to be an adopted son of the late Maharaja and was trying to succeed to his estate; that Maharaja Bhagwati Singh was never adopted by the deceased and consequently the plaintiff was entitled to a declaration to the effect that he was the real successor to the Gaddi of Indergarh. In defence it was pleaded that the adoption by the late Maharaja was made after obtaining proper sanction of His Highness the Maharao of Kotah. It was contended that when Kotah State was a separate political unit His Highness the Maharaja Sahib of Kotah was the sole authority to recognise succession regarding the jagirs and that on integration of Rajasthan, that authority is enjoyed by His Highness the Rajpramukh under Article 7(3) of the Covenant of Rulers of Rajasthan and that consequently the District Judge had no jurisdiction to try the case.
