..... July 1936, one instalment having been paid out of Court. This application was allowed to proceed by the Small Cause Court Judge by his order dated 26th September 1936, which is under review before us. He gave the following reasons for overruling the objection of the company; ( i ) that the scheme sanctioned by this Court was not intended to be operative against the opposite party, ( a ) as he was a judgment-creditor before the approval of the scheme by this Court, and ( b ) as no notice of the meeting convened in terms of the order of this Court under Sec. 153 dated 30th May 1933 had been served on him and ( c ) as an instalment due under the decree had been paid to him out of Court, and ( ii ) that the scheme sanctioned by this Court does .....

..... nd creditor who has already obtained a decree cannot be summoned at the meeting and would not be included in the scheme when it comes up for approval of the Court. When a scheme already sanctioned comes up before the said Court for being modified, some of these factors may become important, although on the question as in what precise circumstances the Court would modify a scheme already sanctioned there is divergence of opinion: See LORT-WILLIAMS, J., in In re Mymensingh Loan Office Ltd.
