The Darcah Committee, Ajmer vs State Of Rajasthan on 24 April, 1961
Proceedings before a Magistrate for the recovery of expenses instituted by a Municipal Board were held in the Dargah Committee Ajmer v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1962 SC 574 to be proceedings before a persona designata and not a Court because the proceedings were of a civil nature. The jurisdiction of a criminal court does not include decision of a dispute or a civil nature and, therefore, the jurisdiction conferred upon the Magistrate under the Municipalities Regulation could not be said to be a jurisdiction to be exercised by him as a criminal court. All these cases are distinguishable from the instant case.
Kiron Chandra Bose vs Kalidas Chatterji on 16 February, 1943
"One has got to look to the entire provision for the purpose of deteming whether the matter is to be Beard by the Judicial Officer as a Court or in his own personal capa city"; Kiron Chandra Bose v. Kalidas Chatterji, AIR 1943 Cal 247. "Whether an act is to be perform-ed by the one or the other is generally to be determined by the character of the act, rather than by such designation. Whenever the power or duty imposed is found from a consideration of the object ana purposes of the act to be one which is more properly the function of the court, it will be so construed; and whenever it is manifest that the legislature meant the judge, and not the court, that meaning will be applied to the words in order to carry out the legislative intent"; see 14 Am. Jur., "Courts", para 4.
