Jiten Das &Ors vs Matiary Vivekananda Shikshalay & Anr on 17 June, 2020
16. Summing up the discussion made above it can safely be concluded
that the purchase value of the suit property cannot be the sole criterion to
revise the value put in by the petitioners for their relief of said counter-
10
claim. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Kishore Kumar Khaitan
and another vs. Praveen Kumar Singh reported in (2006) 3 SCC 312 has
held that the jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India may
be restrictive in the sense that it is to be invoked only to correct errors of
jurisdiction, but when a Court asks itself a wrong question or approaches
the question in an improper manner, even if it comes to a finding of fact, it
will still be amenable to correction at the hands of the High Court under
Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The learned Trial Judge by revising
the value of the said relief of counter-claim solely on the basis of the
purchase value of the suit property has certainly committed a jurisdictional
error, consequently the argument of Mr. Mallick on this score also fails.
