The matter first came before a single Judge who referred it to a Division Bench on account of the lack of uniformity in rulings of the Court in regard to interference in revision in court-fee matters. In so far as orders in favour of the plaintiff are concerned there appeals to be consensus of opinion of all the Courts that such an order is not revisable: [see Kanhaya Lal v. Baldeo Lal 1925 Pat 708, Muhammad Elliyas v. Rahima Bee 1929 Mad 191, Kattiya Pillai v. Ramasamy Pillai. 1929 Mad 396, Balkrishna v. Ramkishun 1929 All 957, G.M. Falkner v.
