P. Code and Order 47, Rule 1, C. P. Code, or by virtue of its inherent powers under S. 151, C. P. Code. As I shall show presently, there is the authority of the judgment of a learned Judge of this Court in Chandramouleswaran v. Krishnaswami Naidu, AIR 1953 Mad 993 in an instance that was very similar upon the facts, for the affirmative reply to the question with regard to the power of the Court.

Hence I shall first particularise the essential facts which have led up to the revision proceeding.
