Holding
The revision is affirmed and the respondents are ordered to pay Rs 10,000 as costs to the petitioners.
Summary
The petitioners, Gouri Mandal and others, filed a civil revision challenging the Sub Judge VIII, Bhagalpur's order dated 12 January 2022, which had set aside a 2017 order in Title Suit No. 890 of 2013 without awarding costs. The petitioners sought a reversal of that decision and an award of costs against the respondents. The High Court examined the materials and noted that both parties had mutually consented to the disposition of the matter. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the Sub Judge's order but modified it by directing the respondents to deposit Rs 10,000 as costs within four weeks. The cost amount is to be paid to the petitioners, and the revision application was disposed of on these terms.
Issues considered
- Whether the Sub Judge's order setting aside the Title Suit judgment should be affirmed on revision.
- Whether the respondents should be ordered to pay costs to the petitioners.
Subjects
- civil revision
