BHULAN ROUT . vs LAL BAHADUR YADAV — C.A. No. 5424/2004

On 23 August 2004, the Supreme Court allowed Bhulan Rout's appeal, holding that the District Judge's order of 4 October 2001 was passed without jurisdiction. The Court found that an appeal against an order allowing an application under Order IX Rule 13 CPC (which sets aside ex-parte decrees) is not maintainable under Order XLIII CPC; appeals are only available against orders rejecting such applications. Accordingly, the District Judge's order and the High Court's upholding revision were set aside, though the respondent remains free to pursue other available remedies against the Trial Court's 8 February 2001 order.
