THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Civil Revision Petition No. 1912 of 2011 ORDER: This civil revision petition is directed against the order dated 31.03.2011 passed by the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Chittoor, dismissing the application in I.A. No. 40 of 2011 in O.S. No. 1148 of 2001 filed by the petitioner herein, defendant No.2 in the suit, praying to re-open the suit so as to enable him to adduce evidence on his side. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the order under revision. As can be seen from the order under revision, ample opportunity was provided to the petitioner, by granting adjournments and passing conditional orders, to adduce evidence, but he did not comply with the conditional orders and on the other hand remained absent and there was also no representation on his behalf, and therefore his evidence was closed on 19.10.2010. After a lapse of three months thereafter, the petitioner came up with the present application, contending that he was out of station and fell ill and was treated at Bangalore and as such could not contact his counsel and adduce evidence. In the absence of the petitioner disclosing the details of his illness and placing any medical record to prove that he was treated at Bangalore, the Court below refused to reopen the matter enabling him to adduce evidence on his side, and no exception can be taken thereto. For the foregoing reasons, I find no reason whatsoever to interfere with the order under revision in exercise of supervisory jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The civil revision petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Dated: 20th August, 2011 IBL
