Order XLI Rule 2

Grounds which may be taken in appeal

Appeals From Original Decrees, in the First Schedule to The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908

The appellant shall not, except by leave of the Court, urge or be heard in support of any ground of objection not set forth in the memorandum of appeal; but the Appellate Court, in deciding the appeal, shall not be confined to the grounds of objections set forth in the memorandum of appeal or taken by leave of the Court under this rule:

Provided that the Court shall not rest its decision on any other ground unless the party who may be affected thereby has had a sufficient opportunity of contesting the case on that ground.

How this Rule is cited

It is written both ways, and both mean this Rule: Order XLI Rule 2 CPC and Order 41 Rule 2 CPC. Pleadings usually take the arabic form, judgments usually the numeral.

Orders of the courts under it: Order 41 Rule 2 CPC, Order XLI Rule 2 CPC. Each opens the full-text search over every order eCourtsIndia holds.

This Order may be one Rule short. India Code publishes the Rules of the First Schedule without recording which Order each one belongs to. We recover that from the Government's own consolidated text of the Code, and for this Order one Rule did not settle beyond doubt. Rather than print it under an Order it might not belong to, it is left out and this note put in its place. Everything shown here is where the Code puts it.
