The argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner in all these cases is that the learned Additional District Judge had no jurisdiction to substitute his own judgment and to go into questions of fact. This argument has no force in a case where the findings of the judge, small cause court, have been found to be perverse and not in accordance with law. It may be ordinarily correct that a judge sitting in revision cannot act like an appellate court and cannot reassess, the evidence once assessed by the small cause court; but if the assessment of the evidence is wrong or the approach is wrong or the finding is perverse, the judge sitting in revision has every right to give a judgment after correctly assessing the evidence. The argument put forward by the learned counsel therefore has no force.\n<\/p>\n<pre> 3.   All the three revisions must therefore fail.
