THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Civil Revision Petition No.908 of 2010 ORDER: This civil revision petition is directed against the order, dated 23.01.2010, passed by the learned V Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District, in I.A.No.863 of 2009 in O.S.No.766 of 2001. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. Perused the material on record. The respondent-plaintiff filed the suit in O.S.No.766 of 2001 for specific performance of agreement of sale, dated 04.09.1998, or alternatively for refund of Rs.2,00,000/- paid by him towards advance. The petitioner-defendant filed written statement. Thereafter, appropriate issues were framed and on behalf the respondent-plaintiff, he himself was examined as PW.1, and also examined PWs.2 and 3, apart from marking Exs.A1 to A3. On behalf of the petitioner-defendant, he himself was examined as DW.1 and the suit is coming up for further evidence on behalf of the petitioner-defendant. At that stage, the respondent-plaintiff filed the present application, in I.A.No.863 of 2009, under Sections 38(2) and 40 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 praying to send the original agreement of sale, dated 04.09.1998, which is marked as Ex.A1, to the District Collector for collection of proper stamp duty and penalty. The petitioner-defendant filed counter opposing the application. The trial Court, through the impugned order, dated 23.01.2010, observed that though the respondent-plaintiff was not diligent in prosecuting the case as well as paying the stamp duty despite giving sufficient time, taking into consideration the fact that Ex.A1, agreement of sale, is a crucial and important document involving valuable rights over the immovable property, allowed the application as prayed for, subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- towards costs for the abnormal delay in filing the application. It was also made clear that the trial of the suit shall not be stopped awaiting receipt of the agreement of sale from the Collector. This Court discerns no infirmity whatsoever in the order of the trial Court warranting revisional interference. The civil revision petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:12.03.2010 VGB
