JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) By bringing this application under Order 47 Rule 1 read with
section 151 CPC, Joginder Singh, who had been respondent in Civil
Revision No. 1435 of 2011 seeks review of the orders dated 19.10.2011
passed by this court deciding the said revision petition.
(2.) In a suit brought by Joginder Singh applicant for possession of
a plot of land after removal of the structure standing thereon, he applied
for amendment of the plaint under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC. Vide order
dated 15.2.2011, the said application had been allowed subject to
payment of Rs.500/- as costs. The said order was challenged by
Shamsher Singh and others, the defendants before this court and vide
orders dated 19.10.2011, the revision petition was allowed and the order
passed by learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Mukerian allowing the
application for amendment of the plaint, was set-aside.
(3.) Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that this court
has held the revision petition to be maintainable despite the fact that the
petitioners had accepted the costs, subject to payment of which the
application for amendment was allowed. According to him, the judgment
of this court in Raj Kumar Vs. Narain Dass, 1992 102 PunLR 263 was
cited at the time of arguments in which despite the fact that the costs
were accepted under protest, the revision petition was held not
maintainable because the party accepting the costs had admitted the
correctness of the order. He has submitted that this court has drawn a
distinction between the acceptance of costs without protest and under
protest and has held that if the costs have been accepted under protest,
the right to challenge the order cannot be taken away from the party
accepting the costs. He has further submitted that this view is contrary to
the view taken in Raj Kumar's case . He has prayed that if this
court does not agree with the proposition of law laid down in Raj
Kumar's case , the matter may be referred to Larger Bench for
decision.;
