Rajinder Anand Etc. Vs. Union of India

Court: Delhi

Reported in: 1980RLR39

Avadh Behari Rohtagi, J. (1) By this application the appellants assert that no decree need be prepared by this court while deciding an appeal under S. 54 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (the Act). Impatient of court procedure they say : 'Why frame a decree in appeal. Do as the court of the District Judge does. A judgment is enough.' Now in all appeals under s. 54 decided by this court decrees are prepared. It is said that this is not required in law. The argument is that as in the case of the district court, so in the case of the appellate court, the decision amounts to a decree as is provided in s. 26 of the Act. This is the point that arises for decision on this application.(2) S. 26 appears in part Iii of the Act which is headed as 'Reference to Court and procedure thereon.' An important section of this part is S. 18. That provides for reference to the court. 'Court' means a principal civil court of original jurisdiction [S. 3(d)]. The court of district judge is the principal civi...
