A. MANICKAM vs MUTHAMILSELVAN . — C.A. No. 792/2007

Summary: On February 15, 2007, the Supreme Court granted leave and allowed A. Manickam's appeal against the High Court of Madras's order that had entertained a civil revision petition. The Court held that an Article 227 application was not maintainable against the original civil court decree when an appeal was available under Section 96 CPC. The Court set aside the High Court's order but permitted respondents to file a delayed appeal before the appropriate Appellate Court with condonation of delay, directing that such delay be liberally condoned and the appeal decided on merits without being influenced by the High Court's findings. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
