Order 41 Rule 22 - Cross Objections and Appeals
The rule permits a respondent to file cross-objections in an appeal, provided they are filed within the prescribed time and proper notice is served. It emphasizes that cross objections are to be considered on their merits even after the main appeal is disposed of, especially if they remain undecided due to inadvertence or procedural lapse. The language of Order 41 Rule 22 suggests that if a cross objection remains unadjudicated when the appeal is disposed of, it cannot be automatically dismissed but may survive for consideration Dwarka Nath Kundu VS Mohendra Nath Roy - Calcutta, RAGHUPRASAD Vs M.RAGHUNATHAN - Kerala, Bhagvatula Pullayya VS M.

Analysis and Conclusion
Order 41 Rule 22 of the Civil Procedure Code provides a procedural mechanism for respondents to file cross objections in appeals, ensuring their right to be heard on issues arising from the decree. It mandates timely filing and proper notice but also establishes that such objections, if filed and pending, can survive even after the main appeal's disposal, provided they are considered on merits. The rule promotes fairness and comprehensive adjudication, preventing procedural lapses from denying parties their right to contest aspects of a decree. Proper adherence to these provisions ensures effective judicial review and finality of judgments Dwarka Nath Kundu VS Mohendra Nath Roy - Calcutta, RAGHUPRASAD Vs M.RAGHUNATHAN - Kerala.
