Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / Appeal From Delhi High Court in C.m. No. 3042 of 1998

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the High Court can entertain a revision petition against the dismissal of a suo motu transfer application by the trial court under Section 151 CPC
  2. 2 Whether a case can be transferred merely on the parties' consent or advocate boycott
  3. 3 The obligations of courts and advocates when boycott calls are issued by Bar Associations

Ratio Decidendi

The High Court committed jurisdictional error in entertaining the revision petition and staying trial court proceedings, as the trial court order did not occasion failure of justice or irreparable injury, nor was it a finally disposing order under Section 115(1) CPC. Courts must not change venue merely due to advocate boycott or combined party consent.

Court Disposition

Appeal allowed. Revision proceedings in High Court quashed.

Orders

  • Quashing the High Court's revisional proceedings.
  • Directing the Additional District Judge, Tis Hazari, to proceed with the matter according to law.
