PUBLIC SUITS VALIDATION ACT, 1932

PUBLIC SUITS VALIDATION ACT, 1932

11 of 1932

8th April, 1932

 

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS "

Sections 91and92 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, empower the Advocate - General to institute, or to give consent to the institution of certain suits relating to public matters. In order to provide for provinces where there is no Advocate General, or for remoter areas in the Presidencies. Section 93 of the Code provides that these powers of the Advocate-General may be exercised, with the previous sanction of the Local Government, by the Collector or by such officer as the Local Government may appoint in this behalf. Local Governments have taken the view that it is sufficient under this section for them to give previous sanction to the Collector, or to the special officer, generally, and not in respect of each particular suit. Their Lordships of the Privy Council, however, have in a recent case held that the previous sanction of the Local Government must be recorded in respect of each particular suit. - An appeal from Allahabad The result of this decision is that a large number of pending suits will be rendered subject to dismissal through no fault of plaintiffs. The Bill is intended to remove this hardship. It validates all such-suits now pending, and also provides for the retrial of a claim which may have been in the meantime dismissed, whether in the Court instance or in the Court of appeal on the ground of the absence of the requisite sanction." -Gazette of India, 1932. Part V. page 135.
