In view of Section 105 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (“CPC”) it will always be open for the petitioner to challenge the impugned order in an appeal, in the event the final decree is adverse to the petitioner. 4. Hence, this is not a case to interfere with the impugned order in exercise of the discretionary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 5. Subject to the aforesaid observations, and reserving the right under Section 105 of the CPC, the petition is dismissed. [GAURI GODSE, J.] 2/2
