Judgment.- These Civil Revision Petitions raise a question of law of some importance and that is, whether an appeal is maintainable against an interlocutory order appointing a receiver in an original proceeding other than a suit, when the final order in the original proceeding is itself not open to appeal. The landlord, here petitioner, applied in O.P.Nos.139 to 141 of 1948 on the file of the Court of the District Munsif of Palghat, under section 13(2) and (3) of the Malabar Tenancy Act, for fixing the fair rent in respect of the holding of the tenant, here respondent, and for a direction that he should pay one year’s fair rent in advance or furnish security for the rent. There were interlocutory applications filed for the appointment of a receiver in case the tenant defaulted to pay the rent or furnish security. By his order, dated 9th April, 1949, the District Munsif directed the tenant to furnish security for Kanni rent on or before 20th April, 1949, but the tenant failed to comply with this order. On the landlord’s applications I.A.Nos.2618 to 2620 of 1948 in O.P.Nos.139 to 141 of 1948 praying for the appointment of a receiver for the holdings of the tenant the District Munsif appointed a receiver. The tenant filed C.M.A.Nos.11 to 13 of 1949 in the Court of the Subordinate Judge of South Malabar at Palghat, against the orders of the District Munsif appointing a receiver. The appellate Court reversed the orders of the Munsif on the ground that there were no sufficient grounds for dispossessing the tenant by the appointment of a receiver. The landlord has preferred these Civil Revision Petitions against the orders of the appellate Court. Mr.C.S. Swaminathan, the learned advocate for the petitioner, contends that the appeals preferred by the tenant to the Court of the Subordinate Judge were incompetent and that the orders passed by the appellate Court were without jurisdiction. Both sides relied on section 50 of the Malabar Tenancy Act (XIV of 1930) which runs as follows:- “50. (1) The Procedure provided as regards suits in the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, including Orders XXXVIII, XXXIX and XL of the first schedule, shall be followed as far as it can be made applicable in all proceedings relating to applications under this Act. (1) The Procedure provided as regards suits in the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, including Orders XXXVIII, XXXIX and XL of the first schedule, shall be followed as far as it can be made applicable in all proceedings relating to applications under this Act. (2) Appeals shall lie from orders made under sections 12, 23, 25, 30, 31, 34, 35 and 36 as they were decrees in suits.” The argument of the petitioner is that an order under section 13 is not made appealable by section 50(2) and where the final order on the main proceeding itself is not open to appeal, an interlocutory order by way of appointment of a receiver, made during the pendency of that proceeding, is not appealable. For the respondent it is contended that under section 50(1) of the Act the provisions of Order 40, rule 1, Civil Procedure Code, are expressly made applicable to proceedings under section 13 of the Act, and the landlords have invoked the provisions of Order 40, rule 1, Civil Procedure Code, by applying for the appointment of a receiver. The order made on his application was one made under Order 40, rule 1, Civil Procedure Code and was therefore open to appeal under Order 43, rule 1, subclause (s), Civil Procedure Code. No decision exactly in point was cited by the learned counsel, but some decisions were relied upon by way of analogy. The petitioner relied upon Ramanayya v. Kotayya1, where this Court held that no appeal lay under clause 15 of the Letters Patent against an order of a single Judge refusing to grant leave to appeal from his judgment in a second appeal. He also referred to In re Veerasami Padayachi2, where it was held that an order of a single Judge refusing to review his judgment in a second appeal was not appealable under clause 15 of the Letters Patent. I might also refer to the recent decision in Kumarappa Chettiar v. The Official Receiver, West Tanjore3, where the decisions in Ramanayya v. Kotayya1and in In re Mangalam Govinda Row4, were followed and an order refusing leave to appeal in a second appeal was held not to be appealable under clause 15 of the Letters Patent. I might also refer to the recent decision in Kumarappa Chettiar v. The Official Receiver, West Tanjore3, where the decisions in Ramanayya v. Kotayya1and in In re Mangalam Govinda Row4, were followed and an order refusing leave to appeal in a second appeal was held not to be appealable under clause 15 of the Letters Patent. The ratio decidendi of these cases was that an order granting or refusing leave was part of the decision on the merits of the second appeal itself and not an independent order apart from the decision. Since the decision on the second appeal was open to a further appeal only with leave, an order refusing leave which was part of the decision itself could not be treated as an independent order appealable without leave. I consider that these decisions have no application because the order appointing a receiver was a judicial order having a separate and independent existence of its own, apart from the order of the original petitions filed under section 13 of the Malabar Tenancy Act. In my opinion, the merits of the order appointing a receiver could be canvassed on appeal independently of the merits of any final decision or order that might be rendered on the main petition. The petitioner also relied on the decisions in Thomas Souza v. Gulam Moideen Beari5 and Kanai Lal Ghose v. Jatindra Nath Chandra6, to the effect that an order in execution of a decree passed under section 9 of the Specific Relief Act was not appealable. But this conclusion was based on the express language of section 9 that “no appeal shall lie from any order or decree passed in any suit”. The word “suit” was construed as being wide enough to include execution proceedings also. These decisions do not lead to the conclusion that merely because a final order in an original proceeding is not open to appeal interlocutory orders made during the pendency of the proceeding become unappealable. It is, of course, a trite proposition that an appeal lies only if it is granted by statute. These decisions do not lead to the conclusion that merely because a final order in an original proceeding is not open to appeal interlocutory orders made during the pendency of the proceeding become unappealable. It is, of course, a trite proposition that an appeal lies only if it is granted by statute. The Legislature can provide for a right of appeal against an interlocutory order in a proceeding even though the final order on that proceeding is not made appealable, or it might provide that an interlocutory order shall be open to appeal only in cases where an appeal would have lain from the final order in the main proceeding. An example of the former class of cases would be found in section 96 read with Order 23, rule 3, and Order 43, rule 1, clause (m), Civil Procedure Code, under which an order recording a compromise is appealable, but not a decree passed on the compromise. See Govindaswami v. Kaliaperumal1. An example of the latter class of cases is found in Order 43, rule 1, clause (u) read with Order 41, rule 23, Civil Procedure Code. An intermediate position is envisaged in section 102, Civil Procedure Code, which allows one appeal but not a second appeal from an order in execution of a small cause decree when the decree is under execution on the original side of the Court, if the value of the subject-matter of the suit does not exceed Rs.500. The small cause decree itself is not open to appeal, but an order in execution of the decree made on the original side is open to appeal. I am therefore unable to accept the broad proposition for which the petitioner contends. In my opinion, it all depends on what provision has been made by the Legislature by way of a grant of a right of appeal in each particular case. In the present case, section 50(2) of the Malabar Tenancy Act does not include an order under section 13 in the category of appealable orders. The orders specified in section 50(2) are made appealable as if they were decrees, that is to say, they would be open to an appeal and a second appeal conformably to the provisions of sections 96 and 100, Civil Procedure Code. The orders specified in section 50(2) are made appealable as if they were decrees, that is to say, they would be open to an appeal and a second appeal conformably to the provisions of sections 96 and 100, Civil Procedure Code. The Legislature has in section 50(1) of the Act expressly made Order 40 of the Civil Procedure Code applicable to proceedings under the Act. Order 43, rule (1), clause (s) Civil Procedure Code, grants a right of appeal against an order appointing or refusing to appoint a receiver under Order 40, rule 1. When Order 40, rule 1, Civil Procedure Code, was incorporated in the Malabar Tenancy Act as part of the procedure applicable to proceedings under the Act, it carried with it the right of appeal given by Order 43, rule 1, clause (s), Civil Procedure Code. There is nothing in the Malabar Tenancy Act restricting or displacing the right of appeal which is attracted by the incorporation of Order 40, rule 1, Civil Procedure Code, in section 50, clause (1) of the Act. It must be remembered that the application for the appointment of a receiver was made to an ordinary civil Court subject to the appellate jurisdiction of the District Court and the High Court and not to a special tribunal or judicial officer functioning as persona designata. The Court was here appealed to as one of the ordinary courts of the country. The effect of section 13 of the Malabar Tenancy Act was merely to invest the Court with jurisdiction over the new subject-matter dealt with by that section. The proceeding was a judicial proceeding and the order appointing a receiver was a judicial determination under Order 40, rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Code. If the Court of the District Munsif had all the powers and jurisdiction conferred by Order 40, rule 1, of the Code in the matter of appointing a receiver and dispossessing the respondent-and this is the true position according to both sides-it is not possible to hold that the decision of the District Munsif was not open to appeal, which was attracted to every order made under Order 40, rule 1. by virtue of Order 43, rule 1, clause (s), Civil Procedure Code. The general principle applicable to cases of this kind was thus stated by Viscount Haldane, Lord Chancellor in National Telephone Co. by virtue of Order 43, rule 1, clause (s), Civil Procedure Code. The general principle applicable to cases of this kind was thus stated by Viscount Haldane, Lord Chancellor in National Telephone Co. v. Post-master General2: “When a question is stated to be referred to an established Court without more, it imports that the ordinary incidents of the procedure of that Court are to attach, and also that any general right of appeal from its decisions likewise attaches”. It may be that a particular case is taken out of this general principle by special enactment. There is none such in the present case. On the other hand, the procedure prescribed by the Civil Procedure Code is expressly made applicable by section 50(1) of the Malabar Tenancy Act to proceedings under the Act, and there is no prohibition of an appeal. In Adikappa Chettiar v. Chandrasekhara Thevar3 Lord Simonds, delivering the judgment of the Judicial Committee, held that: “Where a legal right is in dispute and the ordinary Courts of the country are seized of such dispute, the Courts are governed by the ordinary rules of procedure applicable thereto and an appeal lies, if authorised by such rules, notwithstanding that the legal right claimed arises under a special statute which does not in terms confer a right of appeal”. To the same effect were the decisions of the Board in Secretary of State v. Chelikani Rama Row1 and Hem Singh v. Basant Das 2.In view of what I consider to be the clear pronouncement of the Judicial Committee I do not propose to discuss the decisions in Ckandrawati v. Jagannatha Singh3 and Shri Devi Amma v. Valia Narayana4 relied upon by the respondent. On the merits it is unnecessary to interfere with the order of the lower appellate Court. The receiver who has been in possession has presumably deposited the rents in Court and the petitioner has been paid the rents in arrear or at any rate the bulk of such arrears. I do not agree with all the reasons given by the lower appellate Court for reversing the order of the trial Court. Having regard to the subsequent course of events it is unnecessary to disturb the orders of the lower appellate Court. I do not agree with all the reasons given by the lower appellate Court for reversing the order of the trial Court. Having regard to the subsequent course of events it is unnecessary to disturb the orders of the lower appellate Court. If the respondent after he is put in possession of the property by the receiver who has been continued by an interim order of this Court commits default in payment of the rent or in furnishing security therefor within such time as the Court thinks fit to allow, it will be open to the petitioner to apply for the appointment of a receiver and such an application should be dealt with on its own merits by the trial Court. The Civil Revision Petitions are dismissed but, in the circumstances, without costs. K.S. ----- Petitions dismissed.
