Dhenkanal Municipal Council And ... vs A. Raja Rao And Others on 18 March, 1993
10. Again, in Secy. of State for India in Council v. Chelikani Rama Rao [Secy. of
State for India in Council v. Chelikani Rama Rao, (1915-16) 43 IA 192 : ILR (1916)
39 Mad 617 : 1916 SCC OnLine PC 42] , when dealing with the case under the
Madras Forest Act, Their Lordships observed as follows : (IA p. 197)
"... It was contended on behalf of the appellant that all further proceedings in
courts in India or by way of appeal were incompetent, these being excluded by
the terms of the statute just quoted. In Their Lordships' opinion this objection is
not well founded. Their view is that when proceedings of this character reach the
District Court that Court is appealed to as one of the ordinary courts of the
country, with regard to whose procedure, orders and decrees the ordinary rules
of the Civil Procedure Code apply."
