1. This is a reference by the learned District Judge of Benares u/s 195 of the Agra Tenancy Act. The facts are briefly these. After the constitution
of the Benares Raj, His Highness the Maharaja of Benares u/s 4 of the Pargana of Kaswar Raj Act of 1911, which came into force on the 25th of
February 1911, brought a suit for arrears of rent on the 23rd of June 1911 in the Court of the Assistant Collector first class. From the decision of
the Assistant Collector, an appeal was preferred to the learned District Judge. In his opinion, it is doubtful whether he has or has not jurisdiction to
entertain the appeal, and his doubts are based upon the provisions of Sections 6 and 9 of the Pargana of Kaswar Raj Act. There can be no doubt
that under the provisions of that Act, the learned District Judge had jurisdiction to decide the appeal for the simple reason that the suit was
instituted by the Maharaja u/s 4 of that Act after the Act had come into force. It is also to be noted that the case is not one which can be referred
to this Court u/s 195 of the Agra Tenancy Act inasmuch as that section deals with the cases in which there is a doubt whether the Revenue or the
Civil Court has jurisdiction, and in the case before us there is no such question. Let the record be returned.
