N. H. BHATT, J. ( 1 ) THESE Revision Applications are filed by the original different judgment-debtors raising the question as to whether a decree passed by the Civil Judge (J. D ) or by the Civil Judge (S. D ) exercising jurisdiction under sec. 28 (1) of the Bombay Rent Act could be executed by the Small Causes Court established in that area subsequent to the passing of the Court or whether it should be executed by the very Court that passed the decree namely the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) or (S. D. ). Out of the above lot Civil Revision Application Nos. 1454/78 and 1158 are directed by the judgment-debtors against the respective order of the Civil Judge (J. D.) and the Small Causes Court Surat holding that it has jurisdiction to entertain these Execution Applications. In the rest of the matters the executing Court as well as the Appellate Court has taken the view that the executing court namely the Small Causes Court of Baroda has got jurisdiction to entertain the Execution Applications. Both at Baroda and Surat the Small Causes Court came to be established for the first time on 14th July 1975 Till then the Civil Judge (S. D.) assisted by the Civil Judge (J. D.) was exercising jurisdiction under sec. 28 (1) of the Bombay Rent Act. In all these Revision Applications decrees had come to he passed by the Civil Judge (J. D.) prior to 1975 When the Small Causes Court came to be established at Baroda and at Surat the Execution Applications that were pending before the Civil Judge (J. D.) came to be transferred by the District Judge administratively to the file of the newly established Small Causes Court at Baroda and Surat. In ali these matters the judgment-debtors contended that as the decrees were passed by the Civil Judge (J. D.) the only Court that could execute the decree would be the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) and not the Court of the Small Causes. As said by me above this contentions of the judgment-debtors was not accepted except by one Judge of Surat and hence the matters have been brought by judgment decrees to this Court for their final decision. As said by me above this contentions of the judgment-debtors was not accepted except by one Judge of Surat and hence the matters have been brought by judgment decrees to this Court for their final decision. ( 2 ) SECTION 98 (1) of the Bombay Rent Act deals with the jurisdiction of the Courts in respect of recovery of rent or possession of any premises to which any of the provisions of this part apply. The said sec. 28 is reproduced below:-"28. (1) Notwithstanding anything contained in any law and notwithstanding that by reason of the amount of the claim or for any other reason the suit or proceeding would not but for this provision be within its jurisdiction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (a) in the City of Ahmedabad the Court of Small Causes of Ahmedabad (aa) in any area for which a Court of Small Causes is established under the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act 1887 such Court and (b) elsewhere the Court of the Civil Judge (Junior Division) having jurisdiction in the area in which the promises are situate or if there is no such Civil Judge the Court of the Civil Judge (Senior Division) having ordinary Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction to entertain and try any suit or proceeding between a landlord and a tenant relating to the recovery of rent or possession of any premises to which any of the provisions of this part apply and to decide any application made under this Act and to deal with any claim or question arising out of this Act or any of its provisions and (subject to the provisions of sub-sec. (2)) no other Court shall have jurisdiction to entertain any such suit proceeding or application or to deal with such claim or question. " ( 3 ) THE Court below except one Civil Judge (J. D.) at Surat interpreted sec. (2)) no other Court shall have jurisdiction to entertain any such suit proceeding or application or to deal with such claim or question. " ( 3 ) THE Court below except one Civil Judge (J. D.) at Surat interpreted sec. 28 (1) to suggest invariably that the execution proceedings between a landlord and a tenant which relate to the recovery of rent or possession of any permises to which Part II of the Bombay Rent Act applies are proceedings covered by sec. 28 (1) of the Act and therefore the Court of the Civil Judge (. J. D.) or the Civil Judge (S. D.) had their jurisdiction ousted by virtue of the latter part of sec. 28 (1 ). Sec. 28 (1) deals with three sorts of legal proceedings. They are: (1) A suit between a landlord and a tenant relating to the recovery of rent or possession of premises * * * * * * * * * * only to execution proceedings and other allied proceedings relating to the recovery of possession or rent. No other considerable fourth category can be there. So it is inevitable to hold that the term proceeding occurring in the above-quoted sub-sec. (1) has got reference to execution proceedings. ( 4 ) THE interpretation which I have placed above on the word proceeding does not rest only on interpretation of that provision on first principles. There is a judgment of the Division Bench of this Court directly dealing with the question in the case of GANDHI GOPALDAS GORDHANDAS V. BAI LALITABHAI MARGHABHAI REPORTED IN 12 G. L. R. PAGE 492 a question squarely arose regarding the nature of execution proceedings of course in the context of the right of appeal under sec. 29 of the Bombay Rent Act. However in order to decide the question of the feasibility or otherwise of the second appeal against the appellate decision in such execution proceedings the bar of sec. 29 (2) was required to be considered and in order to consider the scope and ambit of that bar contained in sec. 29 (2) A necessary reference was required to be had to sec. 28 and particularly to the word proceeding occurring therein. 29 (2) was required to be considered and in order to consider the scope and ambit of that bar contained in sec. 29 (2) A necessary reference was required to be had to sec. 28 and particularly to the word proceeding occurring therein. The Division Bench in that case very clearly ruled as follows :"execution proceedings arising out of the decree passed after the coming into operation of the Bombay Rent Act are included in the expression proceeding used in sub-sec. (1) of sec. 28. Therefore original execution proceedings for recovery of possession between a landlord and tenant are governed by sec. 28 (1 ). If it is so appeal against any decision therein relating to execution discharge and satisfaction is competent under sec. 29 (1) but a further appeal against an appellate decision in such proceedings is barred by sub-sec. (2) of sec 29. Though second appeals in execution proceedings lie by virtue of sec. 100 read with sec. 2 (2) and sec. 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure (and not by virtue of sec 47) they are barred by sec. 29 (2) of the Bombay Rent Act in the proceedings instituted to execute decrees passed in suits governed by sec. 28 of the Bombay Rent Act. " ( 5 ) IT is therefore evident that the Division Bench of this Court has expressed its considered opinion about the connotation of the word proceeding occurring in sec. 28 (1) and it is too late in the day now for most of these applicants judgment-debtors to contend that sec. 28 (1) has no reference to execution proceedings. Even the judgment of the Bombay High Court in the case of HABIB AHMED KHUDABUX V. ABDUL KHADAR REHMANJI REPORTED IN 76 BOMBAY LAW REPORTER PAGE 427 cited by Mr. Zaveri who argued the case for the contesting judgment-debtors itself accepted this proposition that the word proceeding occurring in sec. 28 (1) of the Bombay Rent Act includes execution proceedings. * * * * * * * * * * proceedings between a landlord and a tenant relating to the recovery of rent or possession of the premises governed by Part II of the Bombay Rent Act. ( 6 ) THE second contention put fourth on behalf of the contending judgment-debtors was that this sec. * * * * * * * * * * proceedings between a landlord and a tenant relating to the recovery of rent or possession of the premises governed by Part II of the Bombay Rent Act. ( 6 ) THE second contention put fourth on behalf of the contending judgment-debtors was that this sec. 28 (1) should be interpreted to have only prospective operations from the day the Small Causes Court comes to be established. The matter is not that simple because the latter part in very categorical and mandatory terms lays down that no other Court shall have jurisdiction to entertain any such suit proceeding or application or to deal with such claim or question. These are the words of mandatory character and they once for all exclude the jurisdiction of the Courts other than the Court of the Small Causes where it is established. In Baroda and Surat right from the day the Court of Small Causes came to be established no other Court namely the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) or the Civil Judge (S. D.) has jurisdiction to entertain any such suit proceeding or application or to deal with such claim or question. The word entertain has been judicially interpreted in a number of cases and to entertain means to receive and adjudicate upon. The moment the Legislature says that no other Court shall entertain the execution proceedings on and from the day the Small Causes Court comes to be established the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) by express provision of the text loses its jurisdiction to entertain such execution applications. In other words the moment the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) or the Civil Judge (S. D.) loses its jurisdiction by statutory operation and by the very statutory mandate the Court of the Small Causes is clothed with the authority to entertain and try them it is to be necessarily implied that the pending proceedings should be transferred. I say that it should be so necessarily implied because the Legislature could not be credited with the view that all those proceedings must be continued with the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) or the Civil Judge (S. D.) despite its specific declaration that those Courts cease to exercise jurisdiction over execution proceedings. I say that it should be so necessarily implied because the Legislature could not be credited with the view that all those proceedings must be continued with the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) or the Civil Judge (S. D.) despite its specific declaration that those Courts cease to exercise jurisdiction over execution proceedings. Simpliciter in this two-fold dictate or direction of the Legislature is the provision of automatic transfer of the execution proceedings from the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) or the Civil Judge (S. D.) to that of the Court of the Small Causes. The administrative order passed by the District Judge therefore is nothing but a necessary and inevitable corollary of the legislative intendment and dictation. For such purposes no specific direction about transfer of the pending proceedings is necessary though * * * * * * * * * * of transfer of execution proceedings from the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) or the Civil Judge (S. D.) to the Court of Small Causes is indicative of the lack of power with the District Judge to transfer such proceedings. It is difficult to agree to this converse inference sought to be drawn by Mr. Zaveri. All that sec. 28 (2) provides is that despite what has been said in sub-sec. (1) to the effect that only the Court of Small Causes has powers wherever it is established the Court of the Civil Judge (S. D.) also could exercise those powers if the concerned District Judge in his judicial wisdom thought advisable to do so. From such a positive statement a negative inference of the tape sought to be drawn by Mr. Zaveri cannot be drawn. It involves logical fallacy. ( 7 ) MR. Zaveri then invited my attention to the Explanation appended to sub-sec. (2) of sec. 28 and urged that that Explanation also supported his say. It is quite otherwise. It is on the contrary indicative of the fact that the word proceeding occurring in sec. 28 (1) would ordinarily include all execution proceedings including the execution proceedings arising out of the decrees passed before the coming into operation of the Bombay Rent Act. In order to exclude that inclusion of the execution applications arising out of the decrees passed after the Bombay Rent Act came into operation this Explanation is specifically provided for. 28 (1) would ordinarily include all execution proceedings including the execution proceedings arising out of the decrees passed before the coming into operation of the Bombay Rent Act. In order to exclude that inclusion of the execution applications arising out of the decrees passed after the Bombay Rent Act came into operation this Explanation is specifically provided for. This must of necessity lead us to the inference that the word proceeding occurring in sec.-28 (1) of the Act includes the execution proceedings arising out of the decrees passed after the coming into operation of the Act and this inference supports my initial interpretation of the former part of sec. 28 (1) of the Bombay Rent Act. ( 8 ) MR. Zaveri then invited ny attention to sec. 50 of the Bombay Rent Act which deals with repeal. I fail to understand what relevance this sec. 50 has to the case on hand. ( 9 ) IN this connection both the sides have relied upon secs. 36 to 38 of the Civil Procedure Code and particularly sec. 37 in support of their respective contentions. It cant be gainsaid that ordinarily every Court that passes the decree is entitled to carry its decree through by implementing the decretal orders. In other words the Court that passed the decree can execute its decree. This principle is very well-known and is recognised on all hands. In the case of SHAUKAT HUSSAIN @ ALI AKRAM AND OTHERS V. SMT. BHUNESHWARI DEVI (DEAD) BY L RS. AND OTHERS REPORTED IN A. I. R. 1973 SUPREME COURT PAGE 538 this principle is recognised to such an extent that even the subsequent withdrawal of the area where * * * * * * * * * * clarified further as follows :-"but the Court to whose jurisdiction the subject-matter of the decree is transferred acquires inherent jurisdiction over the same by reason of such transfer and if it entertains an execution application with reference thereto it would at the worst be an irregular assumption of jurisdiction and not a total absence of it. . . . . " ( 10 ) THIS High Court dealing with a similar situation had made the similar observation. It is the case of SHAH SHIVLAL BHOGILAL V. SHAH VADILAL DIPCHAND REPORT IN A. I. R. 1969 GUJARAT PAGE 141. . . . . " ( 10 ) THIS High Court dealing with a similar situation had made the similar observation. It is the case of SHAH SHIVLAL BHOGILAL V. SHAH VADILAL DIPCHAND REPORT IN A. I. R. 1969 GUJARAT PAGE 141. It can therefore be safely said that but the exclusion of the Civil Courts jurisdiction by virtue of the imperative language of sec. 28 (1) of the Bombay Rent Act as discussed above the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) would have continued to exercise jurisdiction to execute the decree passed by it. In the case on hand however the language of sec. 28 (1) admits of no other possible interpretation. The reference therefore to the judgment of B. J. Divan J. (as he then was) in the case of HUSEIN NABI BUX and OTHERS V. MODHIA CHHOTALAL MANSUKHLAL MORARJI REPORTED IN 4 G. L. R. PAGE 400 is uncalled for. Even sec. 37 of the Civil Procedure Code while defining the term the Court which passed the decree in clause (b) states as follows :-"where the Court of first instance has ceased to exist or to have jurisdiction to execute it the Court which if the suit wherein the decree was passed was instituted at the time of making the application for the execution of the decree would have jurisdiction to try such suit. "this clause (b) would squarely be attracted to the facts of the present case. In these cases the Court of the first instance namely the Court of the Civil Judge (J. D.) Baroda or Surat ceased to have jurisdiction to execute the decree because of the operative mandate in the latter part of sec. 28 (1 ). The Court entitled to execute the decree would be the Court of Small Causes which can be said to be the Court which if the suit wherein the decree was passed was instituted at the time of making the application for the execution of the decree would have jurisdiction to try such suit. In my view therefore it is no use travelling beyond sec. 28 of the Bombay Rent Act in deciding the case on hand. Reference to analogy is permissible as the aid of interpretation in cases where the text of the particular statute is not unequivocal. In my view therefore it is no use travelling beyond sec. 28 of the Bombay Rent Act in deciding the case on hand. Reference to analogy is permissible as the aid of interpretation in cases where the text of the particular statute is not unequivocal. It is one of the cardinal principles of interpretation that the text as it is is to be accepted and extraneous aids are to be sought for only in order to clear some ambiguities divulged by the unhappy expression. In my view the language of sec. 28 (1) admits of no other interpretation and consequently the contentions put forth by the judgment-debtors require to be squarely rejected * * * * * * * * * and the subsequent execution applications for executing the decrees passed by those Courts till then also will be required to be presented to the Court of the Small Causes. In my view therefore the view taken by the Small Causes Court at Baroda and Surat is the only plausible and reasonable view. ( 11 ) THIS brings me to the special facts of some of these Revision Applications which are required to be dealt with in order to dispose of these Revision Applications. In C. R. A. No. 182/77 there is no other question and this Revision Application therefore will be required to be rejected forthwith. This Revision Application is accordingly rejected with no order for costs. But six months time is given to the applicant judgment-debtor either to vacate the premises or to have further recourse in accordance with law. ( 12 ) IN C. R. A. No. 536/78 there is no other point except the one of jurisdiction of the Court of Small Causes. So in that Civil Revision Application also rule is discharged with no order as to costs. But at the request of Mr. P. B. Majmudar for the judgment-debtor time to execute is extended upto 30th September 1980 provided the judgment-debtor files an usual undertaking with this Court that latest by that date he would voluntarily deliver the possession of the premises in question to the landlords and would also procure the consent of all the adult members of his family to this undertaking. If such an undertaking is not filed within a fortnight from today the decree shall be executable forthwith. ( 13 ) IN C. R. A. Nos. If such an undertaking is not filed within a fortnight from today the decree shall be executable forthwith. ( 13 ) IN C. R. A. Nos. 895/78 1377 and 1378/78 one more point was canvassed before me. The judgment-debtors contested the original decree upto the Supreme Court. At that time the execution proceedings were pending in the competent Court namely the Court of the Small Causes Baroda. The Supreme Court rejected the tenants plea but granted one years time to vacate. The learned Judge in these three matters misinterpreted the Supreme Courts order suspending the execution of the deceree for one year and proceeded to dispose of the execution applications. ex parte. On coming to know of such orders passed behind the back the judgment-creditor requested the learned Judge to restore the execution applications which were accordingly restored and proceeded with. The learned advocate appearing for the respective judgment-debtors however urged that once the execution application was dismissed the only course left open to the judgment-creditor was to file a fresh application. In the facts and circumstances of these three Revision Applications; I find that * * * * * * * be at all entertained. The rule in Revision Applications Nos. 895/78 1377 and 1378/78 therefore is discharged with no order as to costs. But three months time is given to the applicant-tenants either to vacate the premises or to have further recourse in accordance with law. ( 14 ) IN C. R. A. No. 1377/78 one further point was canvassed by Mr. Majmudar. The judgment-debtor is the son of the deceased-tenant against whom the decree was passed. The son had filed a substantive suit challenging the decree but he had lost in all the Courts including the High Court. Even then Mr. Majmudar contended that the ex parte decree against the judgment-debtors father would not be executable against him. This contention is noted only for its rejection. In the Revision Application one more contention was also raised namely that only two out of the three judgment-creditors could not execute the decree. However Mr. Majmudar himself was fair enough to say that the settled legal position in this High Court is that such an execution application was maintainable and Mr. Majmudar himself fairly conceded to this legal position. ( 15 ) IN C. R. As. Nos. 1379/78 1451 and 1158/79 no other extra point was urged. However Mr. Majmudar himself was fair enough to say that the settled legal position in this High Court is that such an execution application was maintainable and Mr. Majmudar himself fairly conceded to this legal position. ( 15 ) IN C. R. As. Nos. 1379/78 1451 and 1158/79 no other extra point was urged. These Revision Applications also are therefore required to be rejected. They are accordingly rejected with no order as to costs. But three months time is given to the applicant-tenants in these three applications either to vacate the premises or to have further recourse in accordance with law. ( 16 ) IN the above view of the matter subject to the time limit for vacating as stated above the rule is discharged in C R. As. Nos. 182/77 536 895 1377 1378 1379 1451 and 1158/79 with no order as to costs. ( 17 ) C. R. A. No. 1454/78 though by the judgment-debtor is filed against the order of the learned Civil Judge (J. D.) who held that he has got jurisdiction to execute the decree even after the establishment of the Small Causes Court at Surat. On the above view of mine the impugned order is required to be set aside and accordingly C. R. A. No. 1454/78 is allowed. Rule is made absolute with no order as to costs. .
