....ther ground of challenge is that the suit was filed by plaintiff Nos. 1 and 2 on behalf of the Cold Storage without the resolution of the Board and as such the same was not maintainable. 6.

....aw is well-settled that where there is a right there is a remedy (ubi gus ibi remedium). The jurisdiction of the Civil Court is very expensive one as is evident from section 9 of the Code and its exclusion is not to be readily inferred. Unless its exclusion is barred by the statute either expressly or by implication, it has jurisdiction to entertain the suit concerning dispute of civil nature.

(7) An exclusion of the jurisdiction of the civil Court is not readily to be inferred unless the conditions above set down apply." (p. 89) 13. However, it has been said in paragraph (1) of the said principles that even if the jurisdiction is barred, but if the provisions of the particular Act have not been complied with or the Tribunal has not acted in conformity with the fundamental principles of judicial procedure, the jurisdiction of the civil ....

So far as the case of Hirendra Bhadra (supra), relied upon by the learned counsel for the petitioners is concerned, that was a case where the suit was filed for declaration that the resolution resolving that the Director vacated the office for ....
