Mr. Sunil Gupta vs M/S Polar Industries Ltd. And Anr. on 10 November, 2009
what stood affixed as court-fee, further held by
relying on the judgment of this Court in Phipson and Co. Ltd. v. Gayce Pvt. Ltd., 1976
PLR page 77, that after the judgment had been delivered, the Court has no power to
call upon a party or a litigant to pay the deficient Court-fee, even where it is found
that the plaintiff was entertained on a deficient court-fee by mistake or inadvertence.
Thus this judgment clearly supports the additional submission of the learned Counsel
for the plaintiff that even if it were to be held that the written statement is exigible to
Court-fee, still one the case stood finally disposed of, this Court had no power to call
for the alleged deficiency of court-fee to be made good. That brings us to the decision
of the Karnataka High Court reported at AIR 1988 Karnataka page 318.
