..... the Executing Court on its merits in its revisionary jurisdiction instead of remanding the case to the Executing Court. Indeed, we do not find any justifiable reason, which could justify remand having regard to the nature of the objections raised by the defendants (appellants) before the Executing Court. In other words, this was not the case, which needed remand to the Executing Court for its fresh decision on merits. The remand of a case to the Subordinate Court is considered necessary when the Superior Court while exercising its appellate or revisionary jurisdiction finds that the Subordinate Court has failed to decide some material issues arising in the case or there is some procedural lacuna noticed in the trial, which has adversely .....

Goburdhan, learned counsel for the appellants and Mr. Gourab Banerji, learned senior counsel for the respondent. 14) Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the record of the case, we are inclined to allow the appeals in part and while setting aside the impugned order as also the order passed by the Revisionary Court remand the case to the Revisionary Court for deciding the defendants (appellants) revision afresh on merits in accordance with law. 15) The reasons to remand the case to the Revisionary Court are more than one as mentioned hereinbel .....

..... h was not before the Trial Court etc. (See Order 41 Rules 23, 23A, 24 and 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908). Such was not the case here. 19) Second error committed by the Revisionary Court was that it allowed the defendants (revision petitioners) to file additional documents (Ex.22) to prove their case. 20) In our opinion, the documents sought to be filed by the defendants (revision petitioners) were neither relevant and nor material for deciding the legality and correctness of the order passed by the Executing Court. The legality and correctness of the order impugned in the revision could be decided one way or the other without the aid of any additional document but on the basis of material already on record keeping in view th .....

..... ilable to the parties to have finding on the question arising in the case one way or the other from the Revisionary Court and to put the record straight, it was not called for in this case. 25) It is for these reasons, we consider it proper to set aside the impugned order and also the order of the Revisionary Court and remand the case to the Revisionary Court to decide the defendants (appellants ) revision afresh on merits in accordance with law. 26) The Revisionary Court would decide the legality and correctness of the order passed by the Executing Court dated 28.10.2015 on merits keeping in view the law laid down by this Court in Roshanlal (supra) and other cases on the subject. 27) While deciding the revision, the Revisionary C .....
