The proceedings taken before the learned single Judge of this Court, initially invoking the constitutional jurisdiction and, thereafter, the powers of the Court under section 24 C. P. C., 1908, relate to a suit filed by the respondent in the Court of Small Causes at Bombay bearing R. A. B. and R. suit No. 627/2240 of 1980.
