T. Panneerselvan Vs. A. Baylis

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Feb-21-1986

Reported in: (1986)1MLJ300

ORDERK. Shanmukham, J.1. The defendant in O.S.No. 158 of 1985 on the file of the Principal Subordinate Judge, Madurai, is aggrieved against the order made in I.A.No. 667 of 1985 in which the learned Subordinate Judge granted interim injunction restraining the present appellant from alienating the suit property pending disposal of the respondent's application under Order 9, Rule 9, Civil Procedure Code.2. At the outset, as pointed out already, this is a mere interim order passed in the presence of both the parties. This will show that no final order has been passed in the application. None the less, Mr. Govindarajan learned Counsel for the appellant very seriously argues that the Court below cannot pass an order of injunction pending an application under Order 9, Rule 9 C.P.C. because the suit itself is no more on the file of the Court. In this context, the learned Counsel for the appellant would rely upon Raw Sarup v. King Emperor A.I.R.1925 Oudh 345. The learned Judicial Commissioner ...

No. 7 and 8 of 1983 under Section 14(1)(b) of the Act sought the eviction of their two tenants, petitioners in these revisions. The Rent Controller' dismissed the applications. Hence the respondents preferred M.A. No. 62 and 80 of 1983 respectively before the Appellate Authority (II Additional District Judge, Pondicherry). Pending the appeals, the respondents filed I.A. Nos. 278 and 276 of 1984 respectively purporting to be under Rule 26 of the Pondicherry Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Rules, hereinafter referred to as 'the Rules', praying,.

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Feb-18-1986

Reported in: (1987)1MLJ113

ORDERShanmukham, J.1. The revision arises under the Tamil Nadu Court-fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1955 (Act 14 of 1955).2. At the outset, I wish to point out that I heard the arguments on behalf of respondents 17 and 24 not in recognition of their rights to support the petitioner, but not to deny me the able assistance from the learned Advocate General.3. The petitioner is the 11th defendant in the suit. His contentions are three-fold, viz., that the relief as regards the partnership business is governed by Section 36, but not by Section 37(1) of the Act; that the relief regarding the other assets should have been valued under Section 37(1) but not under Section 37(2) and that when certain sums are estimated to be due in respect of accounting the court-fee ought to have been paid on such an estimated sum, but not on the notional figure of Rs. 5,000. All these contentions did not find favour with the court below. Hence this revision.4. The three cardinal principles that should be borne...
