This review application has been filed on grounds which have been made to fall under Order 47, Rule 1, Civil P. C. ( 3. ) The short point for determination is whether this application for review lies. ( 4. ) The Madras Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1949, and the rules framed thereunder contain no provision for review and in fact it contained no provision for a revision before that and this Court was holding that no revision lay on account of the fact that the District and Subordinate Judges were appointed under the Act as 'persona designata& .....

A review is practically the hearing of an appeal by the same officer who decided the case. Therefore, the course of decisions in this country has been to the effect that a right to review is not an inherent power: see --'David Nadar v. Manicka Vachaka Desika Gnana Sambanda Pandara Sannathi', 33 Mad 65; --Lala Prayag Lal v. Jat Narayan Singh', 22 Cal 419; -- 'Baijnath Ram Goenka v.

I have already mentioned the decision of Yahya Ali J. and it need not be repeated. In -- 'Devichand Moolchand v. Dhanraj Kantilal', 1948-1 MLJ 276, decided by a Bench of this court, it has been held that the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure do not apply to the proceedings under Rent Control Act. The desirability of framing Rules making at least some of the important provisions of the Code applicable to the proceedings under the Madras Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act was pointed out. On account of the suggestion, when the Act came to be extensively amended rules have been framed for the bringing in of legal re .....

This contention however does not really arise in this case because Section 141, Civil P. C., is indicative of general enunciation of the principle by the Legislature that to all judicial proceedings the Code of Civil Procedure is applicable and I have pointed but how the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has held that this arises only where the proceedings reach the court appealed to as one of the ordinary courts of the country with regard to whose procedure, orders and decrees the rules of the Code of Civil Procedure are appli .....
