23. Power of Court of Magistrate to refuse order

If in the opinion of the Court of a Magistrate the matters in question between the parties or any of them would be more conveniently dealt with by the High Court, the court may refuse to make an order and in that case there shall be no appeal from its decision:

Provided that the High Court or a Judge thereof shall have power, by order, in any proceedings in the High Court relating to or comprising the same subject matter as the application refused as aforesaid or any part thereof, to direct the court to rehear or determine the same.
