Banshibadan Mandal v. Chhaunat Bibi alias Chhannu Bibi

DUVAL, SUHRAWARDY

body1925
JUDGMENT 1. This is an appeal by the auction-purchaser in execution of a money decree. The respondents deposited the amount for which the property was sold and purchased by the appellant; but it was contended the money deposited was short by 12-annas. Both the Courts below have held that this was due to a bona fide mistake and set aside the sale. The second appeal is from the appellate order of the District Judge of 24-Parganahs. 2. A preliminary objection is taken by the respondents that no second appeal lies. We think that this contention should prevail. The order passed after the deposit made under Order XXI, Rule 89 is an order under Rule 92. An appeal lies from an order passed under that rule under Order XLIII, Rule 1(j), C.P.C. But no second appeal lies from the order passed upon first appeal, u/s 104, Clause (2). It is argued by the learned Advocate or the appellant that as the auction-purchaser was the decree-holder, the matter is covered by Section 47; and u/s 2, C.P.C., the order passed u/s 47 is a decree and is appealable. We think that this contention is not found. Section 47 covers matters arising between parties to the suit relating to execution, discharge and satisfaction of the decree. An order passed under that section is a decree as defined in Section 2, C.P.C. But Clause (a) of that section is excludes an order which is an adjudication from which an appeal lies as an appeal from order. All orders, therefore, between decree-holder and judgment-debtor u/s 47 are not decrees and appealable as such. In the present case an appeal lies as an appeal from order under Order XLIII, Rule 1(j). A second appeal, therefore, does not;, lie. We are fortified in our view by the decision in the case of Asimuddi Sheikh v. Sundari Bibee 10 Ind. Cas. 345 : 38 C. 339 : 15 C.W.N. 844 : 14 C.L.J. 224. The appellant has referred to the case of Raghubar Dayal Sukul v. Jadu Nandan Missir 13 Ind. Cas. 305 : 15 C.L.J. 89 : 16 C.W.N. 736 which was, however, a case under the Bengal Tenancy Act. In this view we hold that a second appeal does not lie and this appeal is dismissed with costs two gold mohurs.
