Rule 23 - Remand of case by Appellate Court - "Where the Court from whose decree an appeal is preferred has disposed of the suit upon a preliminary point and the decree is reversed in appeal, the Appellate Court may, if it thinks fit, by other remand case, and may further direct what issues shall be tried in the case so remanded, and shall send a copy of its judgment and order to the Court form whose decree the appeal is preferred, with direction to re-admit the suit under its original number in the register of civil suits, and proceed to determine the suit; and the evidence (if any) recorded during the original trial shall, subject to all just exceptions, be evidence during the trial after remand." [Rule 23-A Remand order cases: — Where the Court from whose decree and appeal is preferred has disposed of the case otherwise than on a preliminary point, and the decree is reversed in appeal and a re-trial is considered necessary, the Appellate Court shall have the same powers as it has under Rule 23]. Rule 24: Where evidence on record sufficient, Appellate Court may determine case finally - Where the evidence upon the record is sufficient to enable the Appellate Court to pronounce judgment, the Appellate Court may, after resetting the issues, if necessary, finally determine the suit, notwithstanding that the judgment of the Court from whose decree the appeal is preferred has proceeded wholly upon sortie ground other than that on which the Appellate Court proceeds. Rule 25 : Where Appellate Court may frame issues and refer them for trial to Court whose decree appealed from - Where the Court whose decree the appeal is preferred has omitted to frame or try any issue, or to determine any question of fact, which appears to the Appellate Court essential to the right decision of the suit upon the merits, the Appellate Court may, if necessary, frame issues, and refer the same for trial to the Court from whose decree the appeal is preferred and in such case shall direct such Court to take the additional evidence required; and such Court shall proceed to try such issues, and shall return the evidence to the Appellate Court together with its findings thereon and the reasons therefor [within such time as may be fixed by the Appellate Court or extended by it from time to time.]. 7- mDr izko/kkuksa ds voyksdu ls ;g Li"V gksrk gS fd ftl izdj.k esa i=koyh o vko;d nLrkosth ,oa vU; kgknr ekStwn gks ml izdj.k dks izfrizsf"kr djus ds ctk; U;k;ky; dks Lo;a gh fu.kZ; dj nsuk pkfg;s ysfdu izLrqr izdj.k esa jktLo vihy izkf/kdkjh us ftu nLrkostksa ,oa kgknr ij lgk;d dysDVj us fu.kZ; ikfjr fd;k gS mlesa [kkfe;ka crkrs gq, mUgha nLrkost dh kgknr ij iqu% fopkj djus dk tks vknsk fn;k gS Li"V :i ls bl izdkj dk fd;k x;k fjU;w vkMZj voS/kkfud fjek.M vksMZj gSA bl laca/k esa fuEukafdr fofup; mYys[kuh; gS& ¼1½ ^deyskdqekj cuke eaxykjke o vU;* 1924 vkj-vkj-Mh- ist 353 ds fofup; esa jktLo e.My dh [k.MihB }kjk tks O;oLFkk nh xbZ gS] og bl izdkj gS% "Code of Civil Procedure, Order 41, Rules 23, 23A, 25 - Suit for division of holding - Adoption of appellant in second appeal by original plaintiff (deceased) not an issue before trial Court -Her share in land not disputed - First Appellate Court should not have remanded case to trial Court for examining validity of adopt: on which was by a registered deed - Parties aggrieved of the adoption should have challenged it in competent Court." ¼2½ ^vfouh dqekj ds- iVsy cuke misUnz ts- iVsy o vU;* vkj-ch-ts- 1999 ist 390 ds fofup; esa ekuuh; lqizhe dksVZ }kjk tks O;oLFkk nh xbZ gS] og bl izdkj gS% "Civil Procedure Code, 1908 - Order 41 Rule 23 - Remand -High Court should not remand the case merely because it considered the reasoning of the lower court in some respects Was wrong - The High Court should not ordinarily remand a case u/O. 41 R. 23 CPC to the lower Court merely because it considered the reasoning of the lower court in some respects Was wrong. Such remand orders lead to unnecessary delays and cause prejudice to the parties to the case. When the material was available before the High Court, it should have itself decided the appeal one way or other. It could have considered the various aspects of the case mentioned whether the order of the trial Court ought to be confirmed or reversed or modified. It could have easily considered the documents and affidavits and decided about the prima facie case on the material available.

In matters involving agreements of 1980 (and 1996) on the hand and an agreement of 1991 on the other, as in this case, such remand orders would lead to further delay and uncertainty.

It shall not be restored to unless the award is wholly unintelligible. It shall not be exercised unless there is total lock of evidence.
