Judgment
Oldfield, J.—Following Rama Iyer v. Venkatachala Padayachi 30 M.S 311 we must treat these proceedings u/s 195 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure as of a criminal, not of a civil, nature and apply to them the criminal law of procedure. The Code of Criminal Procedure does
not authorise an order for payment of costs in this connection, and it is not possible to justify one with reference to any inherent power of the
Court. The Lower Court''s order for payment of costs is, therefore, unsustainable and is set aside.
Sadasiva Aiyar, J.
I agree and only wish to add that this petition itself should, in my opinion, have been filed u/s 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and not u/s
115 of the Code of Civil Procedure. I'' respectfully dissent from the dictum in In re Chennanagoud 26 M.A 139.
