HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI C.R.P. No. 2694 OF 2010 Friday, the Eighteenth day of June, Two Thousand and Ten Between Sri Vikas Rao Petitioner AND Sri M.S. Chandra Sekhar Rao and another Respondents THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI C.R.P. NO. 2694 OF 2010 ORAL ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition under Sec. 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure is filed by the petitioner/Judgment Debtor in EA No. 1010 of 2009 in E.P. No. 201 of 2007 assailing the order dated 5.5.2010 passed by the learned III Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, dismissing the petition filed under Order 21 Rule 26 CPC seeking stay of execution of the decree so as to enable him to take steps for setting aside the exparte decree passed in OS No. 432 of 1994 by the learned XI Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Secunderabad. The respondent herein filed the above suit for recovery of Rs.26,520/- with interest, which was decreed exparte on 21.4.1995. It is the case of the petitioner that the respondent has intentionally given wrong address and, as such, no notice could be served on him and he is unaware of the exparte decree passed against him. It is further submitted that he is unaware of the paper publication that appeared in Eenadu, a Telugu Daily. Hence, filed the above petition with the aforementioned prayer. The court below by the order impugned in this Civil Revision Petition has dismissed the application. As can be seen from the order impugned, the decree was passed as long back as in the year 1995. Evidently the E.P. is filed in 2007. In such circumstances, the court below is justified in dismissing the petition holding that the petitioner cannot seek the relief having slept over his rights for such a long period. Having gone through the order impugned, I do not see any illegality or irregularity in the order impugned. Consequently, the Civil Revision Petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice T. Meena Kumari July 2, 2010 MAS
