Reported in: AIR1964All342

ORDERS.C. Manchanda, J. 1. This is a revision against the order of the Second Additional Munsif, Kanpur dated the 13th October 1961 reviewing the order of his predecessor and recalling the order dated the 29th of July 1961 passed by his' predecessor.2. The main ground of revision is that the learned Additional Munsif exceeded his jurisdiction inasmuch as he sat on the judgment of his predecessor in appeal and reversed the order purporting to do so by exercising his powers under Order XLVII Rule 1 of the C. F. C.3. A cursory perusal of the order passed in review shows that the learned Judge ignored the provisions of Order XLVII Rule 1 and decided the matter as if it was an appeal before him. A review under Order XLVII Rule 1 can only lie ii one of the grounds mentioned therein is made out.There must be the discovery of new and important matter of evidence which after the exercise of due diligence was not within the knowledge or could not be produced at the time when the order was made o...

Mangal Prasad Vs. Lachhman Prasad

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-22-1963

Reported in: AIR1964All108

Desai, C.J.1. The following question has been referred to this Bench by our brothers Jagdish Sahai and Mithan Lal:-'Whether an application under Section 20 of the Indian Arbitration Act can be made in a case like the present one where the arbitrator had started to function and had entered upon the reference but at a later stage could not proceed with the same?'A conflict among decisions dealing with this question necessitated this reference to a Full Bench'. The parties to this appeal are brothers and had disputes regarding partition of joint property. On 9-12-1955 they entered into an agreement to refer the question of partition of all their joint property to the sole arbitration of Sri Baij Nath Prasad. No time was fixed for his making an award and, therefore, under Section 3 of the Arbitration Act (which will henceforth be referred to as the Act) Clause 3 of the 1st Schedule attached to the Act applied and the arbitrator had to make his award within four months after entering on the...

The Sunni Central Board of Waqf U.P. Lucknow and anr. Vs. Sirajul Haq ...

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-22-1963

Reported in: AIR1963All537

Desai, C.J.1. This is a preliminary objection to the maintainability of this appeal on the ground that the order dated 10-5-1962 is an incomplete or interlocutory order, that the final order was passed on 7-12-1952 when possession was ordered to be delivered to the three receivers after they had furnished the required security and that the receiver Sri Mahmud Ullah Khan appointed under the order dated 10-5-62 was replaced by another receiver, Sri Hafiz Ullah Ansari. An appeal lies under Order XLIII, Rule 1 (s) from an order passed under Order 40, Rule 1. If an order is an order passed under Order XL, Rule 1, an appeal lies and it is irrelevant to go into the question whether it is an incomplete order or interlocutory order or a final order. Security has to be furnished after an order appointing a person as a receiver has been made under Rule 1; this is made clear by Rule 3, which lays down that 'every receiver so appointed shall (a) furnish such security' etc. It cannot be doubted for ...
