Bangladesh House Building Finance Corporation Order, 1973
Article 27
Artha Rin Adalat Act, 1990, Section — 5(1)
Upon examining the relevant provisions of Artha Rin Adalat Act, 1990 and P.O. No. 7 of 1973, particularly Article 27, the Appellate Division held that the world mamla as used in Section 5(1) of the Act refers to ‘suit’ and not to all kinds of legal proceedings.
Before the promulgation of the Artha Rin Adalat Act a financial institution such as Bangladesh House Building Finance Corporation could institute a suit in the Civil Court for realisation of its dues notwithstanding the special provisions made for the same purpose in law by which the said Corporation was established.
The purpose of enacting the Artha Rin Adalat Act, 1990 appears to be that the legislature wanted to exclude the ordinary Civil Court with all its lengthy procedures as a forum for realisation of loan given by a financial institution and substitute in its place a Special Court, namely, the Artha Rin Adalat, with some special procedures for the purpose of minimizing delay but the action will nevertheless be in the form of a suit involving all other allied laws, namely, the Court Fees Act, the Limitation Act, the Code of Civil Procedure (to the extent made applicable).
