THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.1665 of 2011 ORDER: This civil revision petition is directed against the order dated 06.07.2010 passed in I.A. No. 497 of 2008 in O.S. No. 85 of 2004, by the Senior Civil Judge, Puttur, Chittoor District, dismissing the application filed by the petitioners herein, defendants in the suit, seeking to re-open the suit for adducing evidence on their behalf. Heard the counsel for the petitioners and the counsel for the respondent and perused the order under revision and other material available on record. A perusal of the order under revision indicates that the petitioners-defendants were once set ex parte and on their application, the ex parte order was set aside and thereafter, in spite of giving sufficient opportunity by granting several adjournments and passing conditional orders, the petitioners-defendants failed to adduce their evidence. The petitioners-defendants, except stating that due to ill health of the 2nd defendant, they could not contact their counsel and adduce evidence, did not file any medical certificate in proof of the alleged illness of the 2nd defendant. In the circumstances, the Court below has rightly dismissed the petition filed by the petitioners- defendants, by the order under revision, and no interference is warranted therewith by this Court. The civil revision petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed, however, without costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 29th July 2011 IBL
