IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. APP (SJ) No.519 of 2011 BHARAT SAH @ KINU SAH Versus SUBHAWATI DEVI ----------- 2. 4.5.2011 Perused the office note which points out the defect no.15 which relates to the nomenclatures of the application/memo of appeal which was presented before the Court under Criminal Appeal Jurisdiction. The office has pointed out that as per the provision of Section 19(iv) of the Family Court Act the right proceedings could be a criminal revision petition against an order under Section 25 of the Code of Criminal Procedure which could have been passed by a Principal Judge of a Family Court. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant submitted that Section 19(1) of the Family Courts Act entitles a person to challenge any final order passed by a Family Court before the High Court on facts and law notwithstanding the provisions contained in the Cr. P.C., 1973 or any other law for the time being in force. On perusal of the two provisions which are contained in sub-section(1) and sub-section(4) of Section 19, what appears to me is that sub-section(1) lays down the general principle and directs the appeal to be preferred generally against any final order which has been passed by the Family Court. Whereas sub-section(4) creates special jurisdiction in respect of special chapter of the Cr. P.C. which relates to the jurisdiction of 2 the Family Court in respect of a special and distinct class of litigation. If the Legislature has mandated a particular jurisdiction for its application in respect of a special class of litigation and the orders passed during hearing of such petitions, then the general provision could never be applied which is contained in Section 19(1) of the Family Court Act. As such, the appellant, if he is so advised, may convert his memo of appeal into a criminal revision petition within a week, whereafter the petition shall be listed before the appropriate Bench.
