Order XXVI Rule 9 CPC | Mandatory Court Commissioner Appointment in Property Disputes Over Identity, Location, or Measurement : Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court ruled that appointment of a Court Commissioner under Order XXVI Rule 9 CPC is compulsory when disputes over property identity, location, or measurement arise. The trial court's refusal to appoint a commissioner was set aside, reinforcing that local inspection is essential for resolving such disputes, not merely a tool for evidence collection.
