Civil Procedure Code, 1908—Order 41, Rule 22(1)—Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act 104 of 1976—Right of respondent to take cross-objection where a decree is entirely in favour of the respondent though an issue had been decided against him or a decree entirely in favour of the respondent where all the issues had been answered in his favour but there is a finding in the judgment which goes against him—Held, in the pre-amendment stage, he could not take any cross-objection as he was not a person aggrieved by the decree—But post-amendment, read in the light of explanation to sub rule (1), though it is still not necessary for the respondent to take any cross-objection laying challenge to any finding adverse to him as the decree is entirely in his favour, yet he may support the decree without cross-objection—It gives him the right to take cross-objection to a finding recorded against him either while answering an issue or while dealing with an issue.
