HC Deb 29 September 1915 vol 74 c834
12. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Governor-General in Council has arrived at a decision regarding the appeal of the Thakor Saheb of Morvi against the permission given to the official liquidator of the Indian Specie Bank to sue His Highness in the High Court of Bombay?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The Chief of Morvi's appeal has been rejected by the Government of India.

Sir J. D. REES

Is this always to be regarded as a precedent?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The Government of India came to this decision on the merits of this particular case. It is not a precedent, except in the sense that it shows that in certain cases where the circumstances are such as to make that course the right one the Chief may be sued. There is no cause for general anxiety, and I do not think any such general anxiety exists.
