 2. Mohd. Amin and Ors vs Vakil Ahmed (1952 AIR 358)
📌 Nirnay: Court ne kaha ki Mesne Profits ka hisaab property ki vasthavik earning capacity ke
adhaar par hoga, na ki andaz par.

🎙️Mesne Profits – CPC Section 2(12) | Full English Tutorial

Script
🔹 Introduction:
"Hello everyone! In today’s session, we will understand an important legal concept from the Civil
Procedure Code, 1908 — called Mesne Profits. This term is defined under Section 2(12) of the CPC
and commonly arises in civil disputes involving illegal possession of property. Let's break it down in
simple terms."

📘 Definition under Section 2(12) CPC:

“Mesne profits” means those profits which the person in wrongful possession of such
property actually received or might with ordinary diligence have received from it,
together with interest on such profits, but shall not include profits due to
improvements made by the person in wrongful possession.
🔍 Simplified Meaning:
"Mesne Profits" refers to the income or profits earned by someone who is wrongfully occupying
another person’s property, either by actually earning from it (like collecting rent or selling crops), or
income that they could have earned through reasonable use.
It also includes interest, but excludes any profits earned from improvements made by the person in
wrongful possession.

🧾 Key Features of Mesne Profits:

1. There must be wrongful possession — without legal authority.
2. It includes actual profits received, or those that could have been earned.
3. Interest on mesne profits may also be awarded by the court.
4. Profits from improvements made by the illegal occupant are not included.

🧑‍⚖️ Important Case Laws:

 1. Krishna Ram Mahale v. Shobha Venkat Rao (AIR 1989 SC 2097)
📌 Facts: A person used someone else's property without legal authority.
📌 Judgment: The Supreme Court held that illegal possession entitles the rightful owner to claim
mesne profits, regardless of whether the person acted in good faith or not.
👉 Key Point: Wrongful possession automatically creates liability for mesne profits.
 2. Mohd. Amin & Ors v. Vakil Ahmed (1952 AIR 358)
📌 Judgment: The court held that mesne profits must be calculated based on the actual earning
capacity of the property — not based on guesswork or speculation.
👉 Key Point: Estimation must be based on real, reliable indicators of potential income.
 3. K.K. Verma v. Union of India (AIR 1954 Bom 358)
📌 Facts: Illegal occupation of government property.
📌 Judgment: Even government property when wrongfully occupied, entitles the State to claim mesne
profits.
👉 Key Point: Mesne profits are not limited to private disputes — they also apply to public properties.
 4. State of Haryana v. Mukesh Kumar (2011) 10 SCC 404
📌 Judgment: The Supreme Court emphasized that unauthorized occupation should be strictly
dealt with and compensation + mesne profits must be awarded.
👉 Key Point: The law discourages illegal occupation through strict liability.

📊 How Mesne Profits Are Calculated:

Courts consider various factors, such as:
• Nature and use of the property (residential, commercial, agricultural)
• Market rent or potential earning capacity
• Duration of wrongful possession
• Whether the occupant earned from the property
• Interest on the amount (usually between 6–12% per annum)
📌 Note: Each case is fact-specific, and the calculation often depends on expert valuation or market
trends.

📚 Practical Example:
"Let’s say person A owns a house. Person B illegally occupies that house and collects rent from tenants
for 2 years. When A files a suit and gets possession back, A can claim mesne profits from B — for the
rent earned or that could have been earned during the illegal occupation."

✅ Exam/Viva Tip:
If you're asked to define or explain Mesne Profits in an exam or interview:
1. Start with the definition from Section 2(12).
2. Mention at least one relevant case law.
3. Give a simple example to show understanding.
This makes your answer structured and impressive!

🔚 Conclusion:
"So, mesne profits act as a legal remedy for a rightful owner who was deprived of their property due to
someone else's wrongful possession. It ensures that no one benefits unjustly from someone else’s
property. Courts use this principle to balance equity, justice, and compensation."
🎙️Script: Interest and Cost under CPC
Hello everyone,
In today’s session, we will discuss a very important topic under the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 – that
is, Interest and Cost.
These provisions deal with financial aspects of a civil case – compensation for delay in payments and
the cost of litigation.

🔹 Part 1: Interest
Let’s begin with Interest.
Interest refers to the compensation for the use or wrongful withholding of money. When someone
wrongfully keeps another person’s money or delays in payment, the court may order them to pay
interest.

📜 Section 34 of CPC
Interest in civil matters is primarily governed by Section 34 of the CPC.
According to this section, when a court passes a money decree, it may award interest in three stages:
1. Pre-suit interest – Interest for the period before the case was filed.
2. Pendente lite interest – Interest from the date of filing the suit till the date of decree.
3. Post-decree interest – From the date of decree till the date of actual payment.
👉 Note: Post-decree interest cannot exceed 6% per annum, unless it is a commercial transaction.
In commercial cases, interest can be at the contractual rate or current bank rate.

✅ Conditions for Granting Interest under Section 34

1. There must be a money decree.
2. The interest is on the principal amount adjudged.
3. The court has discretion to decide the rate of interest.
4. Different rates can be applied for each phase.
 Important Case Laws on Interest
• State of Rajasthan v. Ferro Concrete Construction (2009)
Held that granting interest under Section 34 is a matter of judicial discretion, not automatic.
• Union of India v. West Punjab Factories (1966)
Pre-suit interest can be awarded only if supported by contract, trade usage or substantive law.
• ONGC v. M.C. Clelland Engineers (1999)
In commercial transactions, courts can award interest above 6% if there's an agreement.

🧾 Illustration
Let’s say A borrowed ₹5 lakhs from B, promising to repay with 12% annual interest, but failed to
repay. B filed a civil suit.
Now the court may grant:
• Pre-suit interest at 12%, based on the agreement.
• Pendente lite interest at a reasonable rate, say 9%.
• Post-decree interest – up to 6%, or more if it’s a commercial transaction.

🔹 Part 2: Cost
Now, let’s talk about Cost.
Cost refers to the expenses incurred in the litigation – like court fees, advocate’s fees, document
charges, etc.

📜 Relevant Sections: 35, 35A, and 35B of CPC

🔹 Section 35 – General Costs
The court has discretion to decide who will bear the cost of the suit.
General Rule: “Costs follow the event” – meaning, the losing party has to pay the costs to the winning
party.

🔹 Section 35A – Compensatory Costs

If a party files a false or vexatious claim or defence, the court may award compensatory costs up to
₹3,000 or as per the court’s pecuniary limits.
🔹 Section 35B – Costs for Causing Delay
If a party causes unnecessary delays, the court may impose a penalty cost to prevent misuse of the
system.

 Important Case Laws on Cost

• Ashok Kumar Mittal v. Ram Kumar Gupta (2009)
The Supreme Court stressed that courts should impose costs to discourage frivolous and
dishonest litigation.
• Vinod Seth v. Devinder Bajaj (2010)
Costs should be realistic and deterrent, to avoid abuse of the judicial process.
• Manindra Chandra Nandy v. Aswini Kumar Acharjya (1907)
Established the principle that costs should generally follow the result of the suit.

🧾 Example for Cost

Suppose B files a genuine case, but A keeps delaying hearings by giving excuses.
Under Section 35B, the court may impose a cost of ₹5,000 or more on A.
If A’s defence is proven false and unnecessary, Section 35A can be invoked to penalize A further.

🎯 Conclusion
To conclude,
Interest and Cost under CPC are not just about financial compensation – they are about ensuring
fairness, discipline, and efficiency in civil litigation.
• Interest compensates for the time and value of money lost.
• Cost ensures that parties don’t misuse the system and act responsibly.
Courts use these powers to protect the genuine party and prevent injustice and delay.

Script: White Collar Crime in Criminology

Introduction:
"Hello everyone! Today, we will talk about an important topic in criminology called White Collar
Crime."

What is White Collar Crime?

"White Collar Crime refers to non-violent crimes committed by people, usually in their professional or
business environment, for financial gain. Unlike street crimes, these crimes are often done by
individuals in positions of trust or authority, such as business executives, government officials, or
professionals."

Examples of White Collar Crimes:

• Fraud
• Embezzlement
• Insider trading
• Bribery
• Money laundering
• Identity theft

Why is it called White Collar Crime?

"The term 'White Collar Crime' was first coined by sociologist Edwin Sutherland in 1939. He used it to
describe crimes committed by people with high social status in their jobs — usually people who wear
white shirts and ties, hence the name."

Legal Case Example:

"One famous case related to White Collar Crime is the Enron Scandal (2001).
• Enron was a large American energy company.
• Its executives engaged in massive accounting fraud to hide debts and inflate profits.
 • This scandal led to the company's bankruptcy and caused huge losses for investors and
employees.
• Many top executives were convicted of fraud and conspiracy."

Importance in Criminology:
"White Collar Crime is important in criminology because:
• It causes huge financial damage to individuals, companies, and economies.
• It is often difficult to detect and prosecute because it involves complex financial transactions.
• It challenges the idea that crime is only committed by the poor or desperate."

Summary:
"So, to summarize, White Collar Crime:
• Is a non-violent crime committed for financial gain.
• Usually involves people in professional roles.
• Has serious legal and social consequences.
• Includes famous cases like the Enron scandal."

Script: Capital Punishment in Criminology

Introduction:
"Hello everyone! Today, we will discuss a sensitive but very important topic in criminology called
Capital Punishment, also known as the death penalty."

What is Capital Punishment?

"Capital punishment means the legal imposition of the death penalty on a person convicted of a serious
crime. It is the most severe form of punishment, usually reserved for crimes such as murder, terrorism,
or treason."

Objectives of Capital Punishment:

• Retribution: Giving the offender a punishment deserved for the crime.
• Deterrence: To discourage others from committing similar crimes.
• Protection: To protect society from dangerous criminals.
 • Reformation: Although capital punishment does not allow reformation, this is an objective in
other punishments.

Global Perspective:
• Some countries like the USA, China, and Saudi Arabia still practice capital punishment.
• Others like the UK, Canada, and many European countries have abolished it.
• India retains capital punishment but applies it very rarely, under the doctrine of "rarest of rare"
cases.

Important Case Laws on Capital Punishment:

1. Machhi Singh vs. Union of India (1983)
• The Supreme Court ruled that capital punishment should only be imposed in the "rarest
of rare" cases — where the crime is extremely heinous and shocking.
2. Kaka Kalelkar vs. State of Maharashtra (1960)
• The court emphasized that capital punishment should not be imposed without sufficient
evidence and serious consideration.
3. Farukh Abdullah Wankar vs. State of Maharashtra (2014)
• The court advised caution in awarding death sentences to avoid any possibility of
wrongful execution.

Pros and Cons of Capital Punishment:

• Pros:
• Provides justice for serious crimes.
• Acts as a strong deterrent against heinous crimes.
• Offers closure to victims and society.
• Cons:
• Risk of wrongful conviction and execution.
• Violates human rights and the right to life.
• Removes any chance for rehabilitation of the offender.

Summary:
"So, capital punishment is a very serious and controversial subject. It is used only for the most severe
crimes. In India, it is given under the ‘rarest of rare’ principle. Courts emphasize careful and cautious
application to ensure justice."
