104) of 1861, and in the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 it is expressly provided by s. 4. But the power of the civil courts other than the Chartered High Courts must be found within s. 94 and O. 39 rr. 1 and 2 of the Civil Procedure Code.

The Code of Civil Procedure is undoubtedly not exhaustive: it does not lay down rules for guidance in respect of all situations nor does it seek to provide rules for decision of all conceivable cases which may arise. The civil courts are authorised to pass such orders(as may be necessary for the ends of justice, or to prevent abuse of the process of court, but where an express provision is made to meet a particular situation the Code must be observed, an departure therefrom is not permissible. As observed in L. R. 62 I. A. 80 (Maqbul Ahmed v. Onkar Pratab) "It is impossible to hold that in a matter which is governed by an Act, which in some limited respects gives the court a statutory discretion, there can be implied in court, outside the limits of the Act a general discretion to dispense with the provisions of the Act." Inherent jurisdiction of the court to make order ex debito justitiae is undoubtedly affirmed by s. 151 of the Code, but that jurisdiction cannot be exercised so as to nullify the provisions of the Code. Where the Code deals Expressly with a particular matter, the provision should normally be regarded as exhaustive.

The Court in that case held that in exercise of the powers under s. 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 the Court cannot issue a commission for seizing books of account of plaintiff-a purpose for which a commission is not authorized to be issued by s. 75.

The principle of the case is destructive of the submission of the appellants. Section 75 empowers the Court to issue a commission for purposes specified therein: even though it is not so expressly stated that there is no power to appoint a commissioner for other purposes, a prohibition to that effect is, in the view of the Court in Padam Sen's case, implicit in s. 76. By parity of reasoning, if the power to issue injunctions may be exercised, if it is prescribed by rules in the Orders in Schedule I, it must he deemed to be not exercisable in any other manner or for purposes other than those set out in O. 39 rr. 1 and 2.
