whether after the disposal of the appeal, the Court Receiver stands discharged or whether he continues in his office till an order of discharge is passed by the Court? -when a Receiver is appointed pending suit or appeal, the prime objective is to preserve the property by taking possession or otherwise and to keep an account of rent and profits that may be realized by the Receiver and to submit it before the court till the lis is finally decided. Ordinarily the function of receivers who are appointed comes to an end with the final decision of the case. However, even after the final decision, the Court has the discretion to take further assistance of the Receiver as and when the need arises. In the instant case, admittedly, the appellants have already put the decree in execution for recovery of possession. We are, therefore, of the opinion that the Executing Court while executing the decree may take assistance of the Receiver or by appointing new Receiver or Commissioner for effecting delivery of possession in accordance with law and not more than that.=2015 SC msklawreports.

     

the suit property was  declared  as  evacuee  property
and the same was purchased by the appellant in an auction sale as  far  back
as on 15.6.1964.  In the year 1980, the appellant filed a suit  being  Civil
Suit No. 37 of 1980 before the District Judge, Thane Court seeking  specific
performance of the sale of the property and possession  and  interim  relief
of injunction restraining the defendants therein from  carrying  on  further
construction on the suit property. The appellant further made a  prayer  for
appointment of Receiver. Trial court rejected to appoint receiver. 
But High court appointed the receiver.
The High Court while making  appointment  of
the Receiver directed to take possession  of  the  suit  property. 
 All  the
persons who were in actual possession of any part of the suit property  were
continued to remain in possession.  The Receiver  was  directed  to  collect
rent and compensation as the case may be from  all  the  persons  in  actual
possession after verifying from  them  their  present  right  to  remain  in
possession. The High Court further directed that the  Receiver  should  take
suitable  direction  from  the  court  if  he  was  presented  with      any
particular difficulty.
 Indisputably, the suit was finally disposed  of  on  4.2.1998.   While
disposing the suit, the trial court gave liberty to the  plaintiff-appellant
to move the High Court for directions for  taking  possession  of  the  suit
property from the Court Receiver so appointed by the High Court.
The  High  Court  after  taking  into
consideration these Court Receiver's  reports,  passed  the  impugned  order
holding that the receiver shall be deemed to have been discharged after  the
dismissal of the first appeal by the High Court, followed  by  dismissal  of
the Special Leave Petition by the Supreme Court.
Apex court held that
In our view, when a Receiver is appointed pending suit or appeal,  the
prime objective  is  to  preserve  the  property  by  taking  possession  or
otherwise and to keep an account of rent and profits that  may  be  realized
by the Receiver and to submit it before the court till the  lis  is  finally
decided.  Ordinarily the function of receivers who are  appointed  comes  to
an end with the final decision of the case.  However, even after  the  final
decision, the Court has the discretion to take  further  assistance  of  the
Receiver as and when the need arises.  In the instant case, admittedly,  the
appellants have  already  put  the  decree  in  execution  for  recovery  of
possession.  We are, therefore, of the  opinion  that  the  Executing  Court
while executing the decree  may  take  assistance  of  the  Receiver  or  by
appointing  new  Receiver  or  Commissioner  for   effecting   delivery   of
possession in accordance with law and not more than that.

 In the facts and circumstances of the case, we do not find  any  error
in the impugned order passed by the High  Court.   The  Civil  Appeals  are,
therefore, of no merit and are dismissed. - 2015 SC msklawreports

Court fee - Sec.34 of A.P.C.F & S.V.Act - partition of Plaints-A and B-Schedule properties, in the manner pleaded by her, and for grant of future profits. Plaint-A Schedule comprised of, four items of immovable properties, and Plaint-B Schedule comprised of, nine items of jewellery. Pleading that the parties are in joint possession of the said properties, the petitioner paid Court-fee of Rs. 200/- under Sub-section (2) of Section 34 of the A.P. Court Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1956 (for short 'the Act'). The trial Court returned the plaint, through its order dated 23-6-2006, directing the petitioner herein, to pay Court fee on movable properties, on her shares, as per the Act, within the time stipulated by it.= In the instant case, the petitioner asserted that, herself and the respondents are in joint possession of the Plaints-A and B-Schedule properties. In a way, the trial Court was satisfied, that the immovable properties mentioned in Plaint-A schedule are in joint possession, and in that view of the matter, it did not insist on payment of ad-valorem Court-fee, on such items. It, however, took a different view, as regards the movable properties. Neither from the plaint, nor from the endorsement made by the trial Court, it is found that there is any distinction, as to the nature of rights claimed, in respect of Plaint-A Schedule properties, on the one hand, and Plaint-B schedule properties, on the other hand. In fact, the nature and incidence of possession, of an immovable property, gives rise to, relatively greater consequences of law, than the possession of an item of movable property. The possession of an item of immovable property can be said to be more assertive, firm and lasting, than the one, of movable property. The endorsement made by the trial Court cannot be sustained, either on law, or on facts. 2015 A.P.(2006)MSKLAWREPORTS
