From the headnote

c (Amarendra Nath Sen, J. concurring.) Since the Order of the trial Judge was one refusing appointment of a receiver and grant of ad-interim injunction, it is a 'judgment' within the meaning of the Letters Patent both because order '3 rule 1 applies to internal appeals in the High Court, and such an order even on merits contains the quality of fina- lity and would be a judgment within the meaning of clause 15 of Letters Patent.
