JUDGMENT Henderson, J. - This Rule is directed against an order of the Munsif calling upon the Plaintiffs Petitioners to deposit Rs. 20 on account of costs of a local investigation under sec. 8D (2) of the Court Fees Act. Under that sub-section, if the Petitioner refuses to comply with the order, he runs the risk of having the suit dismissed and the amount recovered as a public demand. Under sec. 8C, if the Court is of opinion that the subject-matter of the suit has been wrongly valued, it may direct an enquiry into the matter. Of course it may turn out, as a result of that enquiry, that the opinion of the Court was quite wrong and that the valuation was correct. It is obvious that in such cases there will be a great difficulty in making a reasonable order with regard to the costs incurred. Under sec. 8F, the Provincial Government, who have nothing to do with the matter, can be made liable for the optimistic view taken by the Court. Perhaps this may be the best solution of an unsoluble problem. 2. In the present case there is no real difficulty. Mr. Talukdar, who appears for Opposite Party No. 1, has pointed out that the enquiry has been held at the instance of the Defendant. There will therefore be no difficulty in the Court's making the Defendant responsible for the costs of the enquiry if the result is in favour of the Petitioners. 3. There can be no doubt that the Munsif had jurisdiction to make this order and it is impossible for me to interfere with it. 4. The Rule is discharged. The costs in the Rule will abide the result of the enquiry--hearing-fee, one gold mohur.
