ORDER
This civil revision petition challenges the order passed under Section
36 of the Divorce Act, 1869. Considering the limited issues involved, I directed issuance of notice.
2. Mr.P.Rakesh Kumar, who has entered appearance for the respondent, brings to my notice Section 55 of the Divorce Act.
3. Under the said provision, any order passed by a Court, is appealable as if it is an order made under the Code. When the right of appeal is provided for the litigant, it will not be proper on my part to entertain this revision. Therefore, Registry is directed to convert this civil revision petition into a civil miscellaneous appeal and list it for hearing before the appropriate bench.
