This is an appeal against an order made by the Court below, under Order XLI, Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure of 1908, read with Section 2 of the Code. The appellant objected to proceedings in execution of a decree made against him. His objection was overruled on the merits in the Court of first instance on the 2nd March 1909. This order was clearly a decree, because it was an order made under Section 47 of the Code. The appellant then appealed to the District Judge. When the appeal was called on for hearing, on the 3rd May 1909, his pleader intimated to the Court that he had no instruction. The appeal was consequently dismissed. He subsequently made an application to set aside this order, under Rule 19 of Order XLI. The learned Judge, however, refused to re-admit the appeal. Up to the present time, no appeal has been preferred against the order of refusal. We are now concerned, therefore, with the appeal directed against the order of 3rd May 1909. A preliminary objection has been taken to the hearing of the appeal on the ground that the order is not a &#8220;decree&#8221; within the meaning of Section 2, Sub-section (2) of the Code; nor is it an order specified in the Code as an appealable order. On behalf of the appellant, reliance has been placed upon the decision of this Court in the case of Radha Nath Singh v. Chandi Charan Singh (1903) I.L.R. 30 Calc. 660. In our opinion, the preliminary objection must prevail. Section 2 of the Code provides that the term &#8220;decree&#8221; does not include any order of dismissal for default: consequently, it does not include an order of dismissal for default of an appeal under Order XLI, Rule 17. It may be observed that under the Code of 1882, there was a divergence of judicial opinion upon this point. It had been held in the cases of Ram Chandra Pandurang Naik v. Madhav Purushottam Naik (1891) I.L.R. 16 Bom. 23 and Radha Nath Singh v. Chandi Charan Singh (1903) I.L.R. 30 Calc. 660 that an order of dismissal for default under Section 556 of the Code of 1882 was a decree and appealable as such. On the other hand, in the case of Pohkar Singh v. Gopal Singh (1892) I.L.R. 14 All. 361 it was assumed that an order of dismissal for default under Section 556 of the Code was not a decree. The Code of 1908 settles this divergence of judicial opinion, and, under Section 2 of the Code, we must hold that the order in question is not appealable.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. The result is, that the preliminary objection is allowed and the appeal dismissed with costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calcutta High Court Rukminimayi Dasi vs Paran Chandra Bhera on 28 June, 1910 Equivalent citations: (1912) ILR 39 Cal 341 Author: M A Carnduff Bench: Mookerjee, Carnduff JUDGMENT Mookerjee and Carnduff, JJ. 1.
