B.N. Ananthachary And Anr. vs Mohan Ram And Ors. on 10 August, 1978
5. We may at once state that though no issue was framed on this material question which arose for consideration, the learned Judge thought such a bare suit would lie. The question argued before us is whether such a suit with the only relief for the appointment of a Receiver over the suit property lies under the provisions of the civil law and under the Civil Procedure Code. The learned Judge thought that the decision reported in Karuppanna Thevar v. Angammal 23 L.W. 581 : (1926) 51 M.L.J. 67 : A.I.R. 1926 Mad. 678 was a useful guide in coming to the conclusion that a suit for a bare appointment of a Receiver would lie. We shall presently consider this decision.
