\nREPORTABLE<\/p>\n
CIVIL APPEAL NO.   3325           OF 2008
\n(Arising out of SLP (C) No.7452 of 2006)<\/p>\n
S.B. Sinha, J.\n<\/p>\n
1.\tLeave granted.\n<\/p>\n
2.\tThis appeal is directed against the orders dated 24.10.2005 and dated
\n1.12.2005 passed by the High Court of Kanataka at Bangalore whereby and
\nwhereunder delay of 2487 days in filing the appeal has been condoned and
\nthe said appeal has been allowed.\n<\/p>\n
3.\tThe basic fact of the matter is not in dispute.
\nThe brother of Madwaramanachar, father of the appellant, was
\nadmitted to S.D.S. TB Hospital at Bangalore.  All the articles from the body
\nof his brother were removed by the father of the appellant.  After his death,
\nthe father of the appellant requested the hospital authorities to hand over the
\nobsquecies seized wherefor a written request was made on 9.6.1981.
\nThe Superintendent of the said hospital passed an order that the
\narticles kept by the father of the appellants must be delivered back to the
\nhospital authorities for being kept in a safe custody so as to enable them to
\ndeliver the same to the persons entitled therefor.  Delivery of the articles was
\ninsisted before handing over the dead body.  The said articles were handed
\nover to the hospital authorities wherefor an acknowledgment was issued.\n<\/p>\n
4.\tAn application for grant of succession certificate was filed by the
\nfather of the appellants on 24.8.1981.  In the said proceedings, one
\nGowramma, wife of the deceased, was impleaded as a party.  She expired
\nduring the pendency of the said proceedings.  She, allegedly left behind one
\nS. Basavarajappa, who is said to be her adopted son.  By an order dated
\n5.7.1991, succession certificate was granted in favour of the appellant in
\nrespect of the following :\n<\/p>\n
1.
\nAmount in vijay Bank Togarsi
\nS.B. Account No.309 with
\ninterest
\nRs.5-00\n<\/p>\n
2.
\nAmount in Syndicate Bank,
\nShimoga S.B. Account No.27717
\nLedger Folio No.30 with interest
\nRs.318-65\n<\/p>\n
3.
\nAmount in syndicate Bank,
\nShimoga Koppa, S.B. Account
\nNo.7\/89 folio 4289\/17 with
\ninterest
\nRs.19379-59
\nGold Articles belonging to deceased in deposit in
\nthe Hospital at Bangalore.\n<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tGram\t\tMgs
\nOne Sudarshan ring\t11\t–\t700
\nOne Ring with red Stones\t  5\t–\t300
\nOne Finb sing shigd stones\t  6\t–\t600
\nOne Bar\t46\t–\t800
\n\t39\t–\t450
\nCash\t160\t–\t  00\t<\/p>\n
5.\tDespite production of the said succession certificate, the hospital
\nauthorities did not return the said articles and documents to the appellant’s
\nfather, whereupon a suit in the court of Additional City Civil Judge,
\nBangalore seeking a direction to the hospital authorities-defendants to hand
\nover the articles to the appellants or in alternative pay the value thereof
\nwhich was assessed at Rs.45,000\/- was filed\n<\/p>\n
6.\tNo notice under Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure, however,
\nwas served upon the State.  An application under sub-section (2) of Section
\n80 of the Code was filed which is said to have been allowed.
\nBefore the learned Trial Judge, no written statement was filed by the
\nState.  It was decreed ex parte on decree was passed on 31.10.1997.\n<\/p>\n
7.\tAn execution case was filed in the year 2003 for execution of the said
\ndecree.  Upon receipt of the summons from the executing court, a first
\nappeal was preferred by the State of Karnataka.  As indicated hereinbefore,
\nthe same was barred by 2487 days.\n<\/p>\n
An application for condonation of delay was filed in the said appeal
\nbeing IA No.1 of 2005 which, by reason of a judgment dated 24.10.2005
\nwas allowed.  The High Court by reason of its judgment dated 1.12.2005
\npointed out various deficiencies in the said decree and opined that the
\njudgment and decree passed by the learned Trial Judge was not sustainable
\nin law, stating :\n<\/p>\n
(i)\tNo urgency was shown for filing the suit in terms of sub-section (2) of
\nSection 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure;\n<\/p>\n
(ii)\tSmt. Gowramma was a necessary party in the suit; and\n<\/p>\n
(iii)\tThe value of the articles was not mentioned in the succession
\ncertificate. There was nothing to show that the plaintiff was the only
\nheir of the deceased.\n<\/p>\n
It was directed :\n<\/p>\n
“The appeal is allowed an the impugned judgment
\nand decree dated 31.10.1997 made in O.S.\n<\/p>\n
No.3830\/1994 on the file of II Additional City
\nCivil Judge at Bangalore City, is set aside and the
\nmatter is remitted back to the Trial Court, with a
\ndirection to the parties to appear before the Trial
\nCourt for further proceedings on 23.12.2005,
\nwithout notice.  Further, the Trial Court is directed
\nto afford an opportunity to the defendants to file
\nthe written statement within 30 days from
\n23.12.205 and dispose of the suit in accordance
\nwith law.”\n<\/p>\n
8.\tMs. Kiran Suri, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant,
\nwould submit that the High Court committed a serious error in condoing the
\ndelay of 2487 days in preferring the appeal by the State.  It was furthermore
\nurged that the appellant has failed to prove any cause far less any sufficient
\ncause therefor.  The learned counsel contended that the High Court should
\nnot have remitted the matter back to the trial court keeping in view the fact
\nthat the short question which arose for its consideration was as to whether
\nthe hospital authorities having asked the appellants’ father to obtain a
\nsuccession certificate was bound to return the articles to him him on
\nproduction thereof.\n<\/p>\n
9.\tMr. Hegde, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents,
\nhowever, supported the impugned judgment.\n<\/p>\n
10.\tOne Gowramma, as noticed hereinbefore, was impleaded as a party in
\nthe proceedings for grant of succession certificate.  She claimed herself to be
\nthe wife of the deceased.  Appellant knew that the hospital authorities had
\nhanded over the documents and goods to her.  She was, therefore, a
\nnecessary party.  As she expired during the pendency of the proceedings, her
\nheirs and legal representatives should have been impleaded as parties in the
\nsaid proceedings.\n<\/p>\n
The decree might have been passed ex parte but when the same has
\nbeen brought to the notice of this Court, in our opinion, in exercise of our
\ndiscretionary jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution of India, we
\nshould not interfere therein.\n<\/p>\n
It is now a well settled principle of law that this Court would not
\nexercise its extraordinary jurisdiction only because it is lawful to do so.  (See
\nM\/s. Tanna & Modi v. C.I.T. Mumbai XXV & Ors.<\/a> [2007 (8) SCALE 511]
\nThis Court has the power to pass necessary orders for doing complete justice
\nto the parties.  The High Court, in our opinion, has rightly held that in the
\naforementioned situation, Gowramma was a necessary party.
\nA succession certificate is granted for a limited purpose.  A Court
\ngranting a succession certificate does not decide the question of title. A
\nnominee or holder of succession certificate has a duty to hand over the
\nproperty to the person who has a legal title thereto.
\nBy obtaining a succession certificate alone, a person does not become
\nthe owner of the property.\n<\/p>\n
11.\tIn Vidhyadhari & Ors. v. Sukhrana Bai & Ors. [(2008) 2 SCC 238],
\nthis Court held :\n<\/p>\n
“14. Therefore, though we agree with the High
\nCourt that Sukhrana Bai was the only legitimate
\nwife yet, we would choose to grant the certificate
\nin favour of Vidhyadhari who was his nominee and
\nthe mother of his four children.  However, we must
\nbalance the equities as Sukhrana Bai is also one of
\nthe legal heirs and besides the four children she
\nwould have the equal share in Sheetaldeen’s estate
\nwhich would be 1\/5th.  To balance the equities, we
\nwould, therefore, choose to grant succession
\ncertificate to Vidhyadhari but with a rider that she
\nwould protect the 1\/5th share of Sukhrana Bai in
\nSheetaldeen’s properties and would hand over the
\nsame to her.  As the nominee she would hold the
\n1\/5th share of Sukhrana Bai in trust and would be
\nresponsible to pay the same to Sukhrana Bai.  We
\ndirect that for this purpose she would give a
\nsecurity in the trial court to the satisfaction of the
\ntrial court.”\n<\/p>\n
(Emphasis added)<\/p>\n
12.\tIt may be true that there was enormous delay in filing the appeal.
\nOrdinarily, this Court would not have condoned the said delay in filing the
\nappeal but in this case, the First Appeal filed by the State has also been
\nallowed by the High Court.\n<\/p>\n
Keeping in view the nature of the order passed by the High Court, we
\nare of the opinion that it is not a fit case where we should interfere with the
\njudgment of the High Court dated 24.10.2005 which will have the effect of
\nsetting aside its order dated 1.12.2005 also.  We, however, are of the opinion
\nthat the State must pay a sum of Rs.10,000\/- by way of costs to the
\nappellant.  We further direct that Basavarajappa should be impleaded as a
\nparty in the suit.  It will also be open to the appellant to pray for such other
\nrelief or reliefs in the suit as she may be advised in the matter.\n<\/p>\n
13.\tThe appeal is dismissed with the aforementioned directions.  In the
\nfacts and circumstances of the case, however, there shall be no order as to
\ncosts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
