IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR
ANOOP KUMAR DHAND
Darogi S/o Hari Singh (Since Deceased) – Appellant
Versus
Chetram S/o Mus. Kokal and Hari Singh – Respondent
ORDER :
Every trial is a voyage of discovery in which truth is the quest. The justice based on truth would establish peace in the society. For the common man truth and justice are synonymous. So, when truth fails, justice fails. People would have faith in Courts when truth alone triumphs.
Framing of issues is a critical step in this voyage of discovery of truth. Framing of appropriate issues ensures efficient trial and a right conclusion.
Framing of issues is probably the most crucial aspect of the trial of a civil suit. For a correct and accurate decision in the shortest possible time in a case, it is necessary to frame the correct and accurate issues. Inaccurate and incorrect issues may kill the valuable time of the case. If correct and accurate issues are not framed, it will lead to grave injustice, delay and waste of the Court’s valuable time in deciding the matter.
What would be the effect of a judgment, if it is not based on the separately framed issues along with the findings on the same, and it is passed without deciding those issues? This is the core question of law which is required to be decided in this case.
1. By way of filing this writ petition, a challenge has been led to
Judgments must provide issue-wise findings as mandated by procedural rules; failure to do so constitutes legal impropriety and invalidates the judgment.
Courts must distinctly frame and address the material issues in civil trials; failure results in judicial impropriety and necessitates retrial.
It is better that the members of the bar shall file draft issues before framing of issues by the Courts and filing of draft issues before framing of issues by the Courts, will assist the trial Court ....
The inquiry under the M.P. Public Trusts Act does not require mandatory issue framing, as it is not a civil trial, and the court's discretion in this regard is upheld.
The court retains discretion to decide preliminary issues related to jurisdiction or limitation but may also resolve all issues simultaneously to avoid protracted litigation.
The court emphasized the necessity of framing appropriate issues under the CPC to ensure a fair trial in cases of specific performance and possession claims.
Under Order XIV Rules 1 and 5 of CPC, it is mandatory for the trial court to frame all issues arising in the suit before considering preliminary issues.
