#CPC Order XX Rule 18

The Madras High Court held that courts must proceed suo motu to pass final decrees in partition suits under CPC Order XX Rule 18, eliminating the need for a separate application. Appointment of an Advocate Commissioner for division is lawful and does not prejudice the right to appeal the final decree.

Calcutta High Court holds that a final decree in partition suits is not executable unless fully stamped as per Indian Stamp Act, clarifying procedural compliance under CPC.
