Imbichunni Nayar v. Lalji Ram Doss Sait

BHASHYAM AYYANGAR, SHEPHARD

body1901
JUDGMENT 1. This is a petition which ought to have been presented under the provisions of the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act and not under Section 622 of the Code of Civil Procedure. 2. The facts are not clearly stated, but apart from what is stated in the suretys petition, which is not verified, it appears that the insolvency petition was filed in due time, and that it was on a subsequent occasion that the judgment-debtor failed to appear when called upon. On these facts, following Koylash Chandra Shaha v. Christophoridi I.L.R. 15 Calc. 171 and Dwarkadas Parshotamdas v. Isabhai Daudkhan I.L.R. 19 Bom. 210 we must hold that the surety could not be held liable. We must set aside the order of the lower Court, Costs of this petition must be paid by the first respondent.
