This Writ Petition is filed under Articles 226 & 227 of the Constitution Of praying to set-aside the impugned order dated 02.11.2000 on I.A. No.IV in O.S. No.188/2008, passed by the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC, Bantwal, D.K. vide Annexure – A.

This writ petition coming on for Preliminary Hearing (B-Group), the Court delivered the following: 4

ORDER

In the plaintiff’s suit seeking mandatory injunction directing the defendant to comply with the terms and conditions of the agreement dated 11.05.2002, the defendant filed an application in I.A. No. 4/2002, under Order – XIV, Rule – 5 of CPC for framing additional issues with regard to the suit valuation. The trial Court rejected the same. Hence, the present petition.

2. The trial Court while rejecting the application came to the conclusion that the suit is properly evaluated and hence there is no question of framing additional issues.

3. I am of the considered opinion that when the suit is with regard to payment of proper court fee, the same would have to be considered with reference to the pleadings and thereafter to come to a conclusion that it is necessary to frame additional issues. The lower court has failed to do so.

4. For the aforesaid reasons, the order of the court below is set-aside.

The trial Court is directed to rehear the application in 5

I.A.No.4/2002 and pass appropriate orders on merits by June’2012.

Ordered accordingly.
