THIS CIVIL REVISION PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== C.R.P. No.406 of 2010 ==================================== Dated this the 02nd day of August, 2010 O R D E R Civil Revision Petition arises from order on I.A. No.3527 of 2010 in O.S. No.1910 of 2006 of the court of learned Additional Munsiff-I, Thrissur. Petitioner, claiming that he was not aware of the preliminary decree for partition as he was abroad filed an application to set aside the ex parte preliminary decree. He sought for stay of proceedings in the final decree vide I.A. No.3527 of 2010. Learned Munsiff refused to grant stay on the ground that no prejudice will be caused to the petitioner if final decree proceeding continued. Learned counsel for petitioner contends that learned Munsiff ought to have stayed final decree proceeding until disposal of the application to set aside the ex parte decree. 2. If preliminary decree is set aside there can be no doubt that final decree if passed cannot stand. In such a situation pendency of final decree proceeding as rightly observed by the learned Munsiff will not affect the claim of petitioner. As such I do not find any irregularity or illegality in the order passed by the C.R.P. No.406 of 2010 -: 2 :- learned Munsiff requiring interference by this Court. Civil Revision Petition fails. It is dismissed. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
