  1. Question 1 · Haryana Local Laws Practice Set 1

    Assertion (A): In a second appeal under Section 41 of the Punjab Courts Act, 1918, as in force in Haryana, the High Court may examine whether a custom set up by a party exists. Reason (R): The Explanation to Section 41(1) provides that a question relating to the existence or validity of a custom or usage shall be deemed to be a question of law within the meaning of that section.

    1. A. A is false but R is true
    2. B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
    3. C. A is true but R is false
    4. D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
    Show the answer

    D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

    A second appeal under Section 41 lies on grounds of law and custom, and the Explanation deems a question about the existence or validity of a custom or usage to be a question of law. That deeming is what lets the High Court examine the existence of the custom in second appeal.

  2. Question 2 · Haryana Local Laws Practice Set 1

    Under Section 46 of the Punjab Courts Act, 1918, as in force in Haryana, when an officer invested with powers under Part II throughout a local area is transferred to an equal or higher office of the same nature within a like local area, he:

    1. A. exercises the same powers there only if the District Judge confirms them in writing
    2. B. must be invested with the powers afresh by a notification of the State Government
    3. C. exercises the same powers in the new local area unless the High Court directs otherwise
    4. D. loses those powers until the High Court invests him again by name or by virtue of office
    Show the answer

    C. exercises the same powers in the new local area unless the High Court directs otherwise

    Section 46 continues the powers on such a transfer or posting unless the High Court otherwise directs or has otherwise directed. Section 45 separately allows powers to be conferred by name or by virtue of office.

  3. Question 3 · Haryana Local Laws Practice Set 1

    Under Section 3 of Part II of the Punjab Courts Act, 1918, as in force in Haryana, an "unclassed suit" means:

    1. A. a suit which is neither a small cause nor a land suit
    2. B. a suit which is not of the nature cognizable by a Court of Small Causes
    3. C. a suit whose value has not been determined at the time of filing
    4. D. a suit relating to land as defined in the Punjab Tenancy Act, 1887
    Show the answer

    A. a suit which is neither a small cause nor a land suit

    Section 3(3) defines an unclassed suit as one that is neither a small cause nor a land suit. A suit about land as defined in Section 4(1) of the Punjab Tenancy Act, 1887 is a land suit under Section 3(2), and a suit outside small causes may still be a land suit, so it is not necessarily unclassed.

  4. Question 4 · Haryana Local Laws Practice Set 1

    By a written order under Section 34 of the Punjab Courts Act, 1918, a District Judge in Haryana directs that a class of suits be heard by a Civil Judge (Junior Division), although those suits are beyond the pecuniary jurisdiction fixed for that Civil Judge. The order is:

    1. A. valid, because Section 34 operates notwithstanding anything contained in the Code of Civil Procedure
    2. B. ineffective to that extent, as no Section 34 direction can let a court act beyond its jurisdiction
    3. C. valid, because the District Judge controls all civil courts in the district under Section 33
    4. D. valid only after the High Court approves it, since it alters pecuniary jurisdiction
    Show the answer

    B. ineffective to that extent, as no Section 34 direction can let a court act beyond its jurisdiction

    Section 34 lets a District Judge distribute civil business among courts under his control, notwithstanding the CPC, but its proviso bars any direction that empowers a court to exercise powers or deal with business beyond the limits of its jurisdiction.

  5. Question 5 · Haryana Local Laws Practice Set 1

    Consider the following statements about appeals under Section 39 of the Punjab Courts Act, 1918, as in force in Haryana: 1. An appeal to the Court of the District Judge may be heard by the District Judge or by an Additional District Judge. 2. An Additional District Judge hears only such appeals as the High Court directs by general or special order, or as the District Judge makes over to him. 3. The High Court may, by notification, direct that appeals from decrees of a Civil Judge be preferred to another Civil Judge, whose court is then deemed a District Court for those appeals. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

    1. A. 2 and 3 only
    2. B. 1 and 3 only
    3. C. 1 and 2 only
    4. D. 1, 2 and 3
    Show the answer

    D. 1, 2 and 3

    Statement 1 restates Section 39(2), statement 2 restates Section 39(3), and statement 3 restates Section 39(5), under which the notified Civil Judge's court is deemed a District Court for all appeals so preferred.
