K. Venkata Subbayya vs District Collector, Chittoor And Anr. on 24 November, 1967
12. The Calcutta High Court had occasion to deal with the scope of Article 183 of the Limitation Act in Manmatha Nath v. Gopee Ballav, . That was a case where a suit was transferred from Alipore Court to the High Court on an application made in the matter under Clause 13 of the Letters Patent. The suit was tried in exercise of its extraordinary original jurisdiction by virtue of Clause 20 of the Letters patent. As Clause 20 governs also the execution proceedings arising out of such transferred suit, it was held that the law of limitation applicable to execution proceedings of the Court in which such suit was originally instituted will also apply to execution proceedings arising out of such transferred suit and the fact that the suit was transferred to the High Court and disposed of in its extraordinary original jurisdiction does not attract Article 183 of the Limitation Act.
