Heard on: 24.01.2024 and 28.02.2024 Judgment on: 08.05.2024

At the instance of the petitioners, the  Rule was issued by this Court with the following terms:

“Records need not be called for.

Let  a  Rule  be  issued  calling  upon  the  opposite party  Nos.  1-3  to  show  cause  as  to  why  the impugned judgment and order dated 30.01.2018 passed by the learned Additional District Judge, 3rd Court, Jessore in Miscellaneous Appeal No. 17 of 2016 disallowing the appeal and affirming the judgment and order dated 15.02.2016 passed by the  learned  Senior  Assistant  Judge,  Sharsha,

Jessore in Title Suit No. 1 of 2004 should not be set aside and/or pass such other or further order or  orders  as  to  this  Court  may  seem  fit  and proper.”

Facts leading to the issuance of the Rule are inter alia that in Title Suit No. 01 of 2004, the learned Senior Assistant Judge allowed the petitions to be added as parties. Impugning the judgment and order of the learned Senior Assistant Judge, the petitioners preferred Miscellaneous Appeal No. 17 of 2016 before the Court learned District Judge, Jessore. After admitting the appeal and observing all formalities transmitted the record to the Court of the learned Additional District Judge, 3rd Court, Jessore for disposal. Upon hearing, the learned Additional District Judge was pleased to reject the appeal and thereby concurred with the decision of the learned Senior Assistant Judge. Challenging the judgment and order of the learned Senior District Judge, the petitioners moved this Court and obtained the aforesaid Rule and stay therewith.

Heard the submissions advanced by the learned Advocates of the parties at length and perused the materials on record with due care and attention and seriousness as they deserve. The convoluted question of law embroiled in this case has meticulously been waded through.

On perusal of the materials on record, it appears that the learned Senior Assistant Judge by his order allowed the petitions to be added as parties, which may be read as follows:

The learned Additional District Judge concurred with the decision of the learned Senior Assistant Judge with following observation:

No illegality has been spelt out within the bounds of the impugned judgment and order of the Court below; therefore, I do not find any substance in the Rule. Hence, the Rule shall fall through.

In the result, the Rule is discharged, however, without passing any order as to costs. The earlier order of stay granted by this Court, thus, stands recalled and vacated.

Let a copy of the judgment be sent down to the Court below at once.
