Subho Ram Kalita (Deceased By L.R.S) And ... vs Dharmeswar Das Koch And Ors. on 29 April, 1986

In Cotton Corporation India v. United Industrial Bank, AIR 1983 SC 1272, Supreme Court examined the question whether in view of the provision contained in Section 41(b) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 the Court will have jurisdiction to grant an injunction restraining any person from instituting any proceeding in a Court not subordinate to that from which the injunction is sought? In other words, can a person be restrained by an injunction of the Court from instituting any proceeding which such person is otherwise entitled to institute in a Court not subordinate to that from which the injunction is sought? The High Court too is of the view that it had such powers in view of the provisions contained in Order 39, of the C.P.C. read with Section 37 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 or in exercise of the inherent powers of the Court under Section 151, C.P.C. The question arose under the following facts and circumstances. The respondent Bank, (shortly 'the Bank') sued the appellant Corporation (shortly 'the Corporation') in original side of Bombay High Court for declaration that the acceptance and/or co-acceptance of the bills of exchange and/or hundies by the second defendant Tapan Kumar Ghosh on behalf of the Bank was null and void and not binding upon the Bank and calling upon the Corporation to deliver those up to the Court for cancellation. The Bank took out a notice of motion seeking to restrain by an interim injunction the Corporation from enforcing any claim whatever in any forum and for an interim injunction restraining the Corporation from negotiating or endorsing the bills. The notice of motion was dismissed and the Bank having appealed, a Division Bench allowed the appeal and granted an interim injunction restraining the Corporation from presenting a winding up petition against the bank. Their Lordships discussed the scope of preventive relief in Part III of the Specific Relief Act, and how Section 56(b) of the old Act of 1887 stood amended in Section 41(b) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 which said :

Smt. Ningamma And Another vs Chikkaiah And Another on 10 August, 1999

But so far as the provisions of other statutes or enactments are concerned, which prescribe for certain mode of exercise of power vested in the Court including in the matter of admissibility and relevancy of evidence shall remain operative and may control exercise of inherent powers. Inherent power have to be exercised so as not to conflict with the sound principles of general law or other special law. It is well-settled that the Court is expected to do justice according to law. When I so observe I find support for my view from the decision of their Lordships of the Supreme Court in the case of Cotton Corporation of India Limited v United Industrial Bank Limited and Others, in the context of power of the Court to grant temporary injunction under the inherent powers in a case not covered by Order 39, Civil Procedure Code. Their Lordships observed as under:
