Bapna, J.—This is a revision by the defendant against a decree of the Civil Judge, Banswara in exercise of Small Cause Court powers. Various grounds have been taken by the learned counsel for the petitioner but an additional ground was taken in the course of hearing, viz. that the suit was instituted originally as a Small Cause Court suit in the court of Civil Judge at Banswara and thereafter, after a certain stage it was tried by the Civil Judge in exercise of Small Cause Court powers which was contrary to law. The contention is correct. On perusal of the record it appears that the suit was instituted in the court of Civil Judge, Banswara on 7th of June, 1948 and the proceedings continued till 22nd of July, 1950 when it was taken on the Small Cause Court side of the Civil Court and thereafter tried as such. Under section 30 of the Rajasthan Small Cause Court Ordinance (No. VIII of 1950). This was not permissible. If a suit is instituted or proceedings have commenced in any suit as a regular civil suit, it cannot afterwards be tried as a Small Cause Court suit. (Vide 1937 Nag. 200, 1922 All. 112). The decree of the learned Civil Judge in exercise of Small Cause Court powers is set aside and the case is sent back to the court of Munsif, Banswara for decision on merits as the suit is within his pecuniary jurisdiction. All proceedings subsequent to 22nd of July, 1950 are hereby quashed. The costs of the revision will be costs in the cause.
