(1.) This appeal is against the judgment and order dated 21st March, 1990 passed by Mr. Justice Charanjit Talwar dismissing an application under Order XL rule 1 read with section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure filed on behalf of the appellant-plaintiff for appointment of a receiver.
(2.) The brief facts are that Swai Man Singh, Maharaja of Jaipur, died on 24th June, 1970 and respondent No. 1 succeeded him. But on 6th February, 1949, the late Maharaja had entered into an agreement with the Union of India. The said agreement provided that the Maharaja would be entitled to "the full ownership, use and enjoyment of all the private properties" belonging to him and that "succession according to law and custom, to the gaddi" and to "the personal rights, privileges, dignities and titles of the Ruler" were guaranteed. These commitments and guarantees are 'contained in Articles 12, 13 and 14 of the Covenant.
(3.) The main controversy pertaining to these articles is with regard to the interpretation of the words "personal rights" in Article 14. It is contended on behalf of respondent No. I that the right to succeed to the private property of the Ruler is covered by this phrase whereas the appellant disputes this contention.
