Madhya Pradesh Law Journal, 2022
Madhya Pradesh Writ Appeal Act, 2005 provides for an appeal against an order passed by Single Judge of High Court in exercise of Writ Jurisdiction under article 226 of the Indian Constitution. However, in several Orders , while exercising Criminal jurisdiction, the Single Judge of High Court has passed Orders which are directory and in effect and true nature are orders passed in exercise of Writ Jurisdiction. The Coordinate benches of MP High Court have rendered different views on maintainability of Writ Appeal against Orders arising out of exercise of Criminal Jurisdiction even though the nature of Order passed is one passed in Writ Jurisdiction. In this piece, it is argued that the true nature of jurisdiction exercised has to be exercised from the nature of order passed and not from the nomenclature of proceedings. If from preliminary enquiry it is established that the nature of Order is that of a Writ Court, then the Writ Appeal would be maintainable notwithstanding the fact that it was passed in Criminal Jurisdiction.
LV Anuual Survey of Indian Law - 2019 (25 - 79) , 2021
In the survey year, procedural issues came up before the apex court in large number of cases. From the analysis above, it seems, as in the previous years, the dilemma of the court over when to overlook the prescriptions of procedural law to meet the ends of justice and when to insist on their compliance continues unabated. In certain cases, the apex court either overlooked the procedural requirements or upheld their overlooking by the courts below whereas in some other cases it insisted on their compliance. This dilemma is evident from the following observation as well: "Procedure is the handmaiden of justice, the technicalities of law should not be allowed to prevail over the demands of justice and obstacles in the path of the court considering a case on merit should not ordinarily become insuperable. On the other hand, if the so-called procedural requirement is drawn from a wholesome principle of substantive law to advance the cause of justice, the same may not be overlooked." There are no indications as to what procedural requirements are said to be “drawn from the wholesome principles of substantive law”. Does, for example, doctrine of res judicata, which is based on both ‘public policy’ and ‘private justice’, falls in that category? If yes, can the apex court simply make it inapplicable in certain cases as it did in Anant Shankar Bhave? These are some of the difficult questions that need to be answered. In the survey year, certain other important questions, on which conflicting opinions were rendered earlier, have been resolved by larger benches. Different three judge benches have authoritatively answered the questions as to when does the high court’s judgment get merged with the order of the apex court disposing of SLPs? Whether the question of limitation can be decided as a preliminary issue under section 9-A, CPC (inserted by the State of Maharashtra)? Whether the plea of adverse possession can be used by the plaintiff as a sword or can it be used only by a defendant as a shield? With the decisions of larger benches, the legal positions on these questions stand settled for the time being. Some of the decisions rendered by the division benches have also clarified legal positions and cleared ambiguities with regard to transposition of parties; jurisdiction to entertain suit over immovable property situate within jurisdiction of different courts; powers of the chairperson of CAT; manner of disposal of cross-objections in an appeal, etc., Further, the question of constitutional validity of section 62(5) of the Punjab Value Added Tax Act, 2005 which imposed a condition of prior minimum payment for filing first appeal also came up before one of the division benches, which upheld the same. One question i. e., when the plaint is returned, in terms of order 7 rule 10, CPC, to be presented before the appropriate court, should the trial in that court start de novo or from the stage at which the plaint was ordered to be returned was referred to a larger bench in view of the conflicting opinions expressed by two different division benches in the past. In few cases decided during the period, procedural issues have been dealt with too casually. In Anant Shankar Bhave, the court simply made the doctrine of res judicata inapplicable without assigning any reasons and in Ramasamy and U.C. Surendranath, it was held that a person cannot be detained in civil prison for disobeying an injunction order unless the disobedience is proved to be ‘wilful’. No reasons assigned and no authorities cited in support of the conclusion.
