(p. 511) In an equally out spoken dissent in relation to Cutchi Memons, he deprecated in the Advocate General vs jimbabai(1), after yet another analysis of the earlier judicial trend, the habit of treating the Khoias and Cutchi Memons alike, as if they were on precisely the same footing and urged the necessity of deciding the cases of Cutchi Memons on the customs proved in respect of them rather than the customs prevailing among the Khoias, and observed (p. 190) : " While there are many peculiar features in the sectarianism of the Khoias, strongly marking them off from orthodox Mahomedanism, the Cutchi Memons, except for the historical fact that they were originally Hindoos, and were converted four hundred or five hundred years ago to Mahomedanism, are, at the present day, strict and good Moslems." He dissented from Mahomed Sidick vs Haji Ahmed(2) and held that the pro position there laid down, that not only Hindu law applied to Cutchi Memons in matters of inheritance and succession but that the concept of joint family property also governed them, was open to objection, since such a rule could rest only upon proved customs, that no custom of that kind had ever been proved and that Scott, C.J., had based his conclusion only on the case law.
