Issues: Whether the Subordinate Judge had jurisdiction to deal with the execution application in the absence of an assignment of civil business under Section 13 of the Bengal, North-Western Provinces and Assam Civil Courts Act.
Analysis: Section 13 contemplates that, where two or more Subordinate Judges exercise the same local jurisdiction, the District Judge may assign civil business among them. In the absence of any such assignment, both Subordinate Judges remain concurrently competent to entertain and proceed with execution matters arising within the district. The order under challenge proceeded on an erroneous view that the Subordinate Judge lacked jurisdiction.
Conclusion: The Subordinate Judge had jurisdiction to proceed with the execution application, and the contrary order was unsustainable.
