2. The petitioner is aggrieved against the order dated 31.08.2005 by which the petitioners application under the heading “Order 39 Rule 7, CPC” was dismissed by the Additional District Judge No. 2, Jodhpur.
3. This Court has no hesitation in observing that the learned trial Judge namely, Additional District Judge No. 2, Jodhpur either was not knowing the law on the subject of appointment of Commissioner or if he was knowing law on the subject, then the position is much more grave.
4. On an application for appointment of Commissioner, the learned trial Judge recorded findings which are in Para No. 3 of the impugned order. Para No. 3 of the impugned order reads as under:-

5. For the convenience, the relevant portion in the impugned order has been underlined and nubmers have been marked in the order so that the findings recorded by the trial Judge in such proceedings may be clear.
6. This is very unfortunate that the learned trial Judge by exceeding his all jurisdiction and by breaking all the barriers of law after recording those findings as mentioned above in last observed that whatever has been observed on the points in the impugned order, they are only for the purpose of deciding the application under Order 39 Rule 7, CPC and it will not affect any other proceedings. This observation is only desperate effort of the learned Judge and to take shelter behind this observation. The findings appear to have been recorded purposefully. It appears and as observed above, the Court below, while considering the application for appointment of Commissioner, could not have gone into all those facts which were mentioned and which were considered and on which, the findings have been recorded by the Court below.
