G.F.F. Foulkes And Ors. vs A.S. Suppan Chettiar And Anr. on 22 July, 1949
This view was reiterated by a Bench of the Madras High Court in the case of Foulkes v. Suppen Chettiar, , which held that generally speaking, an unsatisfied or dissatisfied creditor who has not been paid or paid less than what would be due to him ratably is entitled to have recourse to an administration suit. No decision has been brought to our notice where it had been held that a simple money creditor cannot have recourse to an administration suit. On an examination of the relevant provisions and the decided cases, we think it is open to a creditor to sue for an administration decree.
