This Court is already flooded with heavy pendency of cases and the State of Gujarat being the biggest litigant in this Court, is still adding to this number by filing number of frivolous litigations. 2. This matter pertains to Court fees to be paid on the suit by the plaintiffs-respondents but looking to the quantum of deficit of court fees, it is a meagre and small amount and in such matters it is difficult to appreciate filing of revision application by none other than the State of Gujarat. Instead of wasting this money in this litigation this amount should have been utilized for some good public purpose. 3. There is yet another reason which favours for dismissal of this revision application. The suit is of the year 1982 and there are all the possibilities that by now, the suit itself would have been disposed of. In this C.R.A. this Court has not stayed the proceedings of the suit by granting interim relief. 4. So taking into consideration totality of the facts of this case, this revision application deserves to be dismissed and it is accordingly dismissed. However, it is made clear that this decision may not be taken to be a decision as if given on merits of the matter. This decision is given only taking into consideration the smallness of the claim of Court fees, subject matter of dispute in this C.R.A. Rule discharged. ....... (sunil)
