THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO LETTERS PATENT APPEAL No.14 of 2004 Date:16.06.2011 Between: The New India Assurance Company Limited. … Appellant AND Smt.Komati Venkayamma, And others. … Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO LETTERS PATENT APPEAL No.14 of 2004 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S.Rao) This appeal under clause 15 of Letters Patent is filed against the order and judgment of the learned single Judge in C.M.A.No.354 of 2004, dated 06.02.2004. The appeal was presented on 19.03.2004. When the matter is called today, this Court entertained a doubt as to how this appeal would be maintainable in view of the clear language under Section 100A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (CPC), as amended by the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 2002, which came into force with effect from 01.07.2002. Indeed, in United India Insurance Company Limited v S.Surya Prakash Reddy[1], a Full Bench of five learned Judges of this Court held that after coming into force of Section 100A of CPC, a Letters Patent Appeal would not lie against the judgment of the learned single Judge in view of the clear language of Section 100A of CPC which commences with a non- obstante clause and bars a Letters Patent Appeal against the judgment of a learned single Judge. The learned Standing Counsel for the appellant Insurance Company does not dispute the legal position. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed as not maintainable. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) _____________________________ (N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO, J) 16.06.2011 vs [1] 2006 (4) ALD 530
