Assam Leather Industry vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. on 16 August, 1999
70. There is no direct case decided by the Hon'ble Supreme Court interpreting the words "other proceedings" as far as the petitioners know. In Civil Rule No. 363 of 1998 wherein the execution proceeding was transferred from civil courts, the petitioner challenged the said transfer on the ground that "other proceeding" does- not mean the execution proceeding. However, the Tribunal relied on the decision in Risk Capital and Technology Finance Corporation Ltd. v. Harnath Singh Bapna [1997] 89 Comp Cas 277 ; AIR 1997 Delhi 239 and rejected the contention of the petitioner. A close and careful perusal of the aforesaid decision shows that in the above referred case the Delhi High Court interpreted the words "other proceeding" in the context of an application for setting aside an ex parte decree. The analogy of the aforesaid case cannot be relied on to interpret "other proceeding" to include execution proceeding also. Though there is no direct decision in this respect the following decision may be of little assistance to interpret "other proceeding".
