.... I heard learned counsel on both sides and perused the order under revision. A short question that arises for consideration in this revision petition is : whether the view taken by the court below in rejecting the petition sought to be executed holding that, under the provisions of section 64 of the Chit Funds Act, the petition is not maintainable would be justified.
