Leave to defend
Leave to defend. The repealed (English) Bills of Exchange Act, 1855 (18 & 19 Vict.c.67), commonly called 'Keating's Act,' allowed actions on bills or notes commenced within six months after being due, to be by writ of summons in a form provided by the Act, and, unless the defendant should within twelve days obtain leave to appear and defend the action, allowed the plaintiff to sign judgment on proof of service. This procedure was retained by the (English) Judicature Act, 1875, Ord. II., r. 6, but abolished in 1880 by Ord. II., r. 6 (annulled 1917).By (English) R.S.C. 1883, Ord.

Final order
Final order, an order appealed against cannot be regarded as a final order, where it does not of its own force bind or affect the rights of the parties, Prem Chand Satramdas v. State of Bihar, AIR 1951 SC 14: (1950) SCR 799.The expression 'final order' has been used in contradistinction to what is known as 'interlocutory order' and the essential test to distinguish the one from the other has been discussed and formulated in several cases decided by the Judicial Committee. The test for determining the finality of an order is, whether the judgment or order finally disposed of the rights of the parties, V.C. Shukla v. State Through C.B.I., AIR 1980 SC 962: (1980) Supp SCC 92.Where the order of the Commissioner under s. 33A required the Income-tax Officer to look into the books of account of assessee and make an estimate in the light of the material based on those books and directed him to substitute his estimate for the income already assessed under s. 23(4) and modify the assessment acco...

XLVI., charging the stocks or funds of a judgment debtor with the judgment debt.Solicitor's Costs.--The (English) Solicitors' Act, 1932 (22 & 23 Geo. 5, c. 37), s. 69, enables any court in which a solicitor has been employed to prosecute or defend a suit to make a charging order in favour of the solicitor of the successful party for his taxed costs upon the property 'recovered or preserved' through the instrumentality of such solicitor, and the court may make such orders for taxation of and for raising and payment of such costs out of the property as shall appear just and proper, and all conveyances and acts done to defeat, or which shall operate to defect, such charge, unless made to a bona fide purchaser for value without notice, will be absolutely void as against th charge; but no such o...
