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.

2. 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 suit was
eventually dismissed on contest on 31-8-1991-

3. 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. We heard the learned Advocate for
the petitioner, perused the petitioner's
application for stay and the impugned order
and we find that the facts of
