Order No.15/Dated- 21.04.2025

¶20

1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners on admission of the civil revision.

¶21

2. The instant Civil Revision is directed against the order passed in O.S. No.44 of 2007 by Civil Judge Senior Division-I, Rajmahal dated 31.07.2018, whereby and whereunder, the petitioners were directed to file the suit in a competent Court and the plaint of the petitioners has been returned after hearing of the suit and considering relevant rules and regulations application in the case.

¶22

2025:JHHC:11736

¶23

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners prays for admission of this revision for hearing on merits.

¶24

4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the opposite parties has raised serious objection pointing towards the provision of Order XLIII Rule 1(a) of the C.P.C., wherein it is specifically provided that the appropriate remedy is available by filing appeal before proper Forum and this revision is not maintainable here.

¶25

5. I have gone through the relevant provisions and it appears that the impugned order is not revisable one rather there is specific provision for filing appeal before the competent Court where appeal lies in case of judgment passed by the concerned Trial Court with a direction to file the suit in a competent Court. The petitioners have chosen wrong Forum and wrong proceeding by filing this civil revision which is non-maintainable. Therefore, this civil revision is dismissed as not maintainable with liberty to the petitioners to file appropriate appeal before the proper Forum, if so advised.
