negative, that is, a subsequent decision of
the Supreme Court or a larger Bench of
the same court rendering a decision taking
a different or contrary view on a point
covered by the said judgment, does not
amount to a mistake or error apparent on
the face of the record. The answer to the
second part of the question is that failure
of the court to take into consideration an
existing decision of the Supreme Court
taking a different or contrary view on a
point covered by its judgment would
amount to a mistake or error apparent on
the face of the record. But a failure to take
into consideration a decision of the High
Court would not amount to any mistake or
error apparent on the face of the record."

13. Keeping in view the law on this
point, this Court is of the considered view that
the subsequent decision of a co-ordinate
Bench would not be a ground to review the
judgment, which is the scope of appeal.

14. Accordingly, the review on the
basis of a subsequent judgment of a coordinate Bench deciding the controversy
otherwise cannot be a ground to allow the
review petition.

15. As discussed above, this review
sans merits, deserves to be dismissed and
is hereby dismissed.

Ramrao Singh... Petitioner
Versus
Usha Singh... .Respondent
Counsel for the Petitioner:
Sri Arvind Kumar Singh, Sri R.K. Singh

Counsel for the Respondent:
Sri Ali Hasan, Sri Ishtiyaq Ali

Hindu Marriage Act-1955-Section 28First Appeal against the order passed
under section 13 of Hindu Marriage Actby Civil Court-appeal under section 28 of
Hindu Marriage Act-not maintainable.

Held: Para-3-
From a perusal of the provisions of Section
28 of the Act, it is clear that no appeal lies
against an order passed under Section 24 of
the Act. It is not disputed by the learned
counsel for the appellant or by Sri Ishtiyaq
Ali , learned counsel for the respondent that
proceedings under Section 13 of the Act for
divorce are still pending in the civil court. It
is also admitted by both the parties that
these are not proceedings under Section 19
of the Family Court Act.

Case Law discussed:
2006 All. C.J. 1936

(Delivered by Hon'ble B. Amit Sthalekar, J.)

1. I have heard Sri Arvind Kumar
Singh, learned counsel for the appellant
and Sri Istiyaq Ali, learned counsel for the
respondent.

2. This appeal has been filed under
Section 28 of the Hindu Marriage Act,
1955 against the impugned judgment
dated 2.7.2011 passed under Section 24 of
the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The
provision of appeal under the Hindu
Marriage Act , 1955 (hereinafter referred
to as the 'Act') is laid down under Section
28 of the Act which reads as under:-

"28. Appeals from decrees and orders.-
(1) All decrees made by the court in any
proceeding under this Act shall, subject to
1554 INDIAN LAW REPORTS ALLAHABAD SERIES
the provisions of sub-section (3), be
appealable as decrees of the court made in
the exercise of its original civil jurisdiction,
and every such appeal shall lie to the court to
which appeals ordinarily lie from the
decisions of the court given in the exercise of
its original civil jurisdiction.

(2) Orders made by the court in any
proceeding under this Act under Section
25 or Section 26 shall, subject to the
provisions
of
sub-section
(3),
be
appealable if they are not interim orders,
and every such appeal shall lie to the
court to which appeals ordinarily lie from
the decisions of the court given in
exercise of its original civil jurisdiction.

(3) There shall be no appeal under
this section on the subject of costs only.

(4) Every appeal under this section
shall be preferred within a period of
[ninety] days from the date of the decree
or order."

3. From a perusal of the provisions
of Section 28 of the Act, it is clear that no
appeal lies against an order passed under
Section 24 of the Act. It is not disputed by
the learned counsel for the appellant or by
Sri Ishtiyaq Ali , learned counsel for the
respondent that proceedings under Section
13 of the Act for divorce are still pending
in the civil court. It is also admitted by
both the parties that these are not
proceedings under Section 19 of the
Family Court Act.

4. Learned counsel for the appellant
has placed reliance upon the Full Bench
decision of this Court reported in 2006 All.
C.J, 1936, Kiran Bala Srivastava (Smt) vs.
Jai Prakash Srivastava. Proceedings in that
case arose under the Family Court Act and it
was against an order passed under Section 24
of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, that the
appeal was filed under Section 19 of the
Family Court Act. Present proceedings are
not under the Family Court Act but under
Section 28 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

5. Even otherwise the appeal under
the Family Court Act is cognizable by a
Division Bench as per the provisions of
the Act itself.

6. In view of the above legal
position, the present appeal under Section
28 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 is not
maintainable and is accordingly dismissed.
