HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO :2157 of 2010 Dated: 28.6.2010 Between: Smt.Munni @ Razia & another ..PETITIONERs Vs. Smt.Ramasahayam Umadevi .. RESPONDENT HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO:2157 OF 2010 ORDER: This civil revision petition is filed by the defendants- petitioners under Article 227 of the Constitution of India aggrieved by the order dated 7.5.2010 passed in I.A.No:374 of 2010 in O.S.No:1873 of 2006 on the file of the learned V Additional Junior Civil Judge, Warangal. By the aforesaid impugned order, the petition filed by the petitioners to reopen the evidence for further examination by the defendants, is rejected by the Court below. In this case, it is to be noticed that the respondent-plaintiff’s evidence was closed as early as on 7.4.2009 and thereafter, number of times, the matter was adjourned from time to time. A perusal of the impugned order also indicates that after closure of evidence, on a petition filed by the petitioners herein, once the matter was already re opened. In spite of giving such opportunity, only one witness was examined and thereafter, no further evidence was let in. Again, this application is filed to examine one witness alleged to be the attestor of document, under which, the petitioners are claiming purchases. In view of the fact that the Court below referring to the series of adjournments at the request of the petitioners, recorded a finding that the petitioners-defednants are trying to protract the litigation. Even this Court is of the view that the petitioners are not diligent to prosecute the case and in spite of giving an opportunity of reopening the evidence earlier, the petitioners did not utilize the said opportunity to lead any further evidence. In that view of the matter and in view of the reasons recorded by the Court below, no valid reasons are assigned by the petitioners to reopen the evidence again. Hence, this revision petition is devoid of merits. This Civil revision petition is dismissed accordingly. No order as to costs. __________________________ Justice R.
