SHEW BUX MOHATA AND ANOTHER vs SM. TULSIMANJARI DASI AND ANOTHER

The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court has the jurisdiction to extend the time for furnishing security for costs under Order 45, Rule 7 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court disapproved the previous decisions of the Calcutta High Court that denied such jurisdiction, affirming that Order XII, Rule 3 of the Supreme Court Rules, 1950, supports this interpretation. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal and reinstated the certificate for appeal granted by the High Court.
