The Printers (Mysore) Private Ltd vs Pothan Joseph on 27 April, 1960
42 A perusal of the findings of the Learned Single Judge in
paragraphs 79 and 80 shows that the Learned Single Judge has exercised his
discretion, which is not arbitrary or capriciously or perverse. As stated
earlier, relying upon the Judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Wander
Limited (supra), the Appellate Court will not re-assess the material and seek
to reach a conclusion different from the one reached by the learned Single
Judge, if the one reached by the Learned Single Judge is reasonably possible.
We would not be justified in interfering with the exercise of discretion by the
Learned Single Judge solely on the ground that, if we had considered the
material at the trial stage, we would have come to a contrary conclusion.
Since discretion has been exercised by the Learned Single Judge reasonably
and in a judicial manner, the fact that the Appellate Court could have taken a
different view, would not justify interference with the Trial Court's exercise of
discretion. For these reasons, we were unable to accept the arguments of the
Appellant regarding the new Trustees.
