CASE LAW
EFFECT OF LOSING CONFIDENCE OF BOTH PARTIES ON THE POSITION OF LOCAL COMMISSIONER
There is no necessity for calling for the report of the local Commissioner who has lost faith of both the parties. The report of the local Commissioner is never sacrosanct. It is open to objection and the Court is not bound to follow it. (P&H)1.
POWERS OF COMMISSIONER NOT EXHAUSTIVE
The powers of a Commissioner given in Order 26 of the Code are not exhaustive. The Court can direct the Commissioner to discharge the functions prescribed by section 48 of the Partnership Act2.
