Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-18-1961

Reported in: AIR1963AP42

Basi Reddy, J.1. Appeal No. 279 of 1955: This appeal is by defendants 4, 6 and 7 in O.S. No. 57 of 1947 on the file of the Subordinate Judge's Court, Nellore, who were also respondents 3 10 5 in I.A. No. 168 of 1951 in that suit, against the final decree for mesne profits in respect of item 4 of the plaint A schedule lands, which was passed by the 1st Additional Subordinate Judge on 20th September, 1954. During the pendency of this appeal, the 4th defendant died and his legal representatives have been brought on record as appellants 4 and 5. In passing the above decree, the learned Subordinate Judge disagreed with the report of the Commissioner which, in his view, was thoroughly unsatisfactory and unhelpful inasmuch as the report was arbitrary, had no factual basis and was totally perverse. The learned Judge, therefore, carefully went into the matter and after scrutinising the evidence adduced by both sides, passed a decree in the following terms so far as defendants 4, 6 and 7 were co...

Vadapalli Krishnamacharyulu and anr. Vs. Sidda Veeraraju and ors.

Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-13-1961

Reported in: AIR1964AP527

Chandra Reddy, C.J.1. This raises the question whether a Letters Patent Appeal could be filed against the judgment of a Single Judge of this Court allowing an appeal brought by the respondents against the order of the Subordinate Judge, Kakinada, remanding a suit brought by the appellants to the trial Court for disposal on merits.2. The learned counsel for the appellants urges that an appeal is competent for the reason that the impugned judgment was passed in a civil miscellaneous appeal and as such it falls within the purview of Clause 15 of the Utters Patent and that it falls outside Nagamma v. Venkattasubbiah, (1959) 2 Andh WR 554. We do not think that we can give effect to this contention. Notwithstanding the fact that the appeal presented by the respondents was described as a civil miscellaneous appeal, it was a second appeal in that it was preferred against the judgment of the Lower Appellate Court passed in the exercise of its appellate jurisdiction. Consequently, despite the no...
