Scope and power of the Commissioner / Panch appointed by the court - When a court issues such a commission to such a person, it can direct the commissioner to make such an investigation, examination and adjustment and submit a report thereon to the court. The commissioner so appointed does not strictly perform a ‘judicial act which is binding’ but only a ‘ministerial act’. Nothing is left to the commissioner’s discretion, and there is no occasion to use his judgment or permitting the commissioner to adjudicate and decide the issue involved; the commissioner’s report is only an opinion or noting, as the case may be with the details and/or statement to the court the actual state of affairs. Such a report does not automatically form part of the court’s opinion - SC
