Abdulnasul Haji Jooma v. Harnam Singh Bhambra, Civ. App. 3-D-67; 22/2/67; Saidi, J.

In an earlier action respondent was ordered to vacate premises which he had leased from appellant. In the present action the trial court ruled that the previous order be stayed for three months to enable respondent to find new premises.

            Held: Section 151 of the Indian Civil Code gives a court inherent jurisdictional over cases not specifically covered by other jurisdictional sections if a denial of hearing would subvert justice. However, the above section is inapplicable to the present case since respondent failed to avail himself of other remedies specifically provided (C.P.C. s. 148; Rent Restriction Act, s. 19 (5)).
