Can two Preliminary Decree be passed in a Suit ?

Can two Preliminary Decree be passed in a Suit ?

There is a conflict of opinion as to whether there can be more then one Preliminary Decree in Same Suit. In Bharat Inder V. Yakub Hasan  High Courts have taken the view that there can only be one Preliminary decree in a suit .

While in Kashi V. R. Chettiar it was held that there can be more than One Preliminary Decree.

In Phoolchand V. Gopal Lal it has been held that there is nothing in the code which prohibits passing of more than one Preliminary decree, If circumstances justify the same .
