....ok the suit to a conclusion on the basis of the remand order without in any way objecting to it. The plaintiff filed this civil miscellaneous appeal against the order of remand on 4th September,1946, i.e., nearly two months after the final disposal of the suit. He has also filed an appeal before the District Judge against the ultimate dismissal of his suit. 2.

It appears to me that there are some fundamental differences between a preliminary decree in execution and a final decree worked out on its basis which formed the basis of fact in Lakshmi v. Mani Devi (1911) 21 M.L.J. 1063 : I.L.R. 37 Mad. 29. Their Lordships in that decision proceed on the assumption that remand orders and subsequent judgments on their basis were analogous to preliminary decrees and final decrees. I thin....
