In my opinion, no such the prayer 4 . oppo n can be given by this court in the aie Revisional application. i In view of the discussion above, I am inion that the impugned order was under rule 8 of Order 9 of the Code of procedure as the plaintiff did not iar when the suit was called on for ering and, as such, it was not appealable. The learned District Judge was perfectly justified in holding that the appeal was not competent. Therefore, the learned Court of appeal below did not commit any error of law which calls for interference by this court. 1. Accordingly, the Rule is discharged without any order as to costs.

The short fact relevant for the purpose of the case is, that the opposite party as plaintiff instituted the present suit in the First Court of Subordinate Judge, Mymensingh being Money Suit No.5 of 1995, praying for a decree for an amount of Taka 2,19,738.40 as house rent from the defendant-petitioner. It has been contended by the petitioner that while he was in the employment of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, he was illegally dismissed from his service by the University authority on false charges of corruption and criminal misappropriation, following which he filed Other Class suit No.16 of 1987 in the 1st Court of the Subordinate Judge, Mymensingh challenging the order of dismissal.

The learned Subordinate Judge by his impugned order dated 3-8-96 rejected the petitioner's application under section 10 CPC after hearing the parties on the finding that since the issues of the 2 proceedings are different there is no scope to stay further proceedings of the present suit. 4, Mr Omar Ali Khan, the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner, submits that although issues in the 2 suits are not the same and identical, still then, in the interest of justice, the learned Subordinate Judge ought to have stayed further proceedings of the present suit pending disposal of Civil Revision No.2608 of 1992 of this Court as the proceedings are inter-related. Mr. Mainul Hosein the learned Counsel appearing for the opposite party, on the other hand, submits that the learned Subordinate Judge was perfectly right in passing the impugned order and it suffers from no legal infirmity to justify interference by this Court. 5.
