Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Dec-05-1960

Reported in: AIR1961Guj92; (1961)2GLR179

ORDERRaju, J. 1. This is a civil revision application by the original defendants Nos. 1 and 2 in Suit No. 90 of 1959 challenging the order of the 5th Joint Civil Judge, Senior Division, ordering that this suit should he consolidated with Suit No. 11 of 1959 notwithstanding their objections and the objections of defendants Nos. 4 to 7 and ordering that the evidence of both the suits be recorded in the former suit. It is contended by the applicants that two of the parties to one of the suits are not parties to the second suit. 2. The learned counsel for the opponents raises a preliminary objection and contends that this application does not lie as it docs not fall within the ambit of Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure, because no case has been decided by a subordinate Court. He relies on a Full Bench decision of the Allahabad High Court in Gupta and Co. v. Kripa Ram Bros., : AIR1934All620 , and contends that although the word 'case' does not necessarily mean a suit and may includ...

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Dec-05-1960

Reported in: (1961)2GLR264

V.B. Raju, J.1. This is a second appeal by the original plaintiff whose suit to recover Rs. 5100/from the detendant said to have been paid on 21-6-49 was dismissed by the District Judge Broach who held that the amount has been paid on 14-6-49 and that therefore the plaintiffs suit filed on 20 was barred by limitation.2. In second appeal the Learned Counsel for the appellant concedes that there is a finding of fact that the amount Rs. 5100/was paid on 14-6-49 and that if this finding is correct the suit would be obviously barred by limitation as it was filed more than three years after that date. But he contends that this finding of fact is vitiated by overlooking the question of estoppel. He urged that even if the money was paid on 14-6-49 there was an agreement or understanding between the parties that the money was to be treated as having been paid on 21-6-49. He stated that estoppel had not been pleaded either in the plaint or even in the first appeal. He however relies on Abdullah ...
