IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH:: AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTIETH DAY OF APRIL, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT:: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY C.R.P.No.4727 OF 2010 Between: Sri M.Srikanth …Petitioner A n d Smt.Karima Siddiqa Fazilthunnisa and others …Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY C.R.P.No.4727 OF 2010 ORDER: This civil revision petition is directed against the order dated 29-07-2010 in I.A.No.461 of 2010 in O.S.No.239 of 2004, on the file of the XI-Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, wherein the said application filed by the respondents 1 to 3 herein (D-1 to D-3) under Order I Rule 10 CPC seeking to implead the petitioner herein and another as defendants 8 and 9, was allowed. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. Perused the records. 3. Respondent No.4 herein filed the suit against the other respondents. Respondents 1 to 3 herein, who are defendants, filed I.A.No.461 of 2010 seeking impleadment of petitioner and Respondent No.9 herein as D-8 and D-9 in the suit. As seen from the impugned docket order, the petition was allowed permitting impleadment of proposed defendants mainly on the ground that there was no representation for the respondents on that day and counter was not filed and so their right to file counter was forfeited. The impugned order does not state any reasons as to how the proposed defendants are considered to be proper and necessary parties to the suit. Inasmuch as the impugned order was virtually in the nature of an ex parte order and not one on merits, it is considered just and proper that an opportunity is given to the petitioner herein/proposed D-8 to file counter and contest the application filed for his impleadment and have an order on merits. 4. In that view of the matter, the impugned order, permitting impleadment of the petitioner herein, is set aside. The trial Court is directed to receive the counter that may be filed by the petitioner herein and then give an opportunity of hearing to both sides and dispose of the matter on merits in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. In the result, the civil revision petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J 20th April, 2011 Note: Issue CC in one week B/o Lrkm.
