MUGHAL SHAH

Law:

Section:

(a) Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)---------S. 115 ---Revisional jurisdiction---Scope---High Court in its revisional jurisdiction was not competent to undertake its own appraisal of evidence in the face of concurrent findings of two Courts below, in absence of any jurisdictional error or material irregularity---Revisional powers under S.115, C.P.C. were primarily intended for correcting errors made by the subordinate Courts in the exercise of their jurisdiction---Ordinarily erroneous decisions of facts were not revisable except in cases where the decision was based on no evidence or inadmissible evidence or order sought to be revised was so perverse that grave miscarriage of justice was likely to result therefrom---Concurrent findings of facts delivered by two Courts below could neither be made subject of scrutiny by High Court nor reappraisal of evidence in the revisional jurisdiction was permissible under law. (b) Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)--- ---O.
