IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (M/S) No. 1200 of 2011 Bhagwati Prasad. … Petitioner. Versus Smt. Madhavi Balutia and three others … Respondents. Mr. Lok Pal Singh, Advocate learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. J.C.Belwal, Advocate, learned counsel for the respondents. Date June 15, 2011. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. (Stay Application No. 5840 of 2011) Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the order dated 1- 2-2010 and 27-5-2011 passed by the learned Judge, Small Causes Court/Additional District Judge, Haldwani (for short J.S.C.C.) (Annexure nos. 4 and 11 to the writ petition). By order dated 1-2- 2010, the learned J.S.C.C. has decreed the suit of the plaintiff- respondents for eviction and for recovery of arrears of rent and damages as mentioned in the order. By the order dated 27-5-2011, the learned J.S.C.C. has dismissed the application (paper no. 6-C) moved by the petitioner-defendant for setting aside the ex parte decree. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents, Mr. J.C.Belwal, Advocate, has raised a preliminary objection that every order passed by the learned J.S.C.C. is revisable under Section 25 of the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act (for short the Act). Section 25 of the Act as applicable to the States of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand reads as under:- “25. Revision of decrees and orders of Courts of Small Causes.- The District Judge, for the purpose of satisfying himself that a decree or order made in any case decided by a Court of Small Causes was according to law, may of his own motion, or on the application of an aggrieved party made within thirty days 2 from the date of such decree or order, call for the case and pass such order with respect thereto as he thinks fit. Provided that in relation to any case decided by a District Judge, exercising the jurisdiction of a Judge of Small Causes, the power of revision under this section shall vest in the High Court.” A perusal of the aforesaid provision of Section 25 of the Act reveals that every order passed by the Judge, Small Causes Court is revisable, therefore, on the ground of statutory alternative remedy of filing revision available to the petitioner, I am not inclined to entertain the present writ petition. On the ground of alternative remedy, the writ petition is dismissed. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to file revision before the appropriate Forum. Certified copy of the impugned order filed in the writ petition be returned to the learned counsel for the petitioner. All pending applications stand disposed of accordingly. (B.S.Verma, J.) RCP
