..... was admitted in evidence under CX41, Rule 27, C.P.C. The appellate Court allowed the appeal and set aside the judgment of the learned Civil Judge and issued a direction at the time of the remand that the plaintiff and defendant shall be given an opportunity to prove or disprove the document and thereafter the decision should be given. After the matter went back to the learned Civil Judge, the non-petitioners moved an application under Order 13, Rule 2, C.P.C. for the production of a document and this was admitted by the impugned order by the learned Civil Judge and the same has been challenged in this revision. 2.

..... he lower Court can try the suit as if it was trying it for the first time and all the powers which a Court has in the disposal of a suit can be exercised by it. However, if the order of the first appellate Court is such which can be said to have placed limitations on the powers of the trial Court then the trial Court cannot go beyond the directions given by the appellate Court. 14. In the present case, the order of remand may again be referred to in order to judge as to what is the nature of it. In appeal before the District Judge, an application under Order 41, Rule 27, C.P.C., was accepted and a particular document which is a sale deed of the year 1926 (or 1920) was ordered to be taken in evidence and the parties were allowed to lead evid .....
