IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE SEVENTH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.1755 OF 2008 BETWEEN Komuravelli Bikshapathi and four others. …PETITIONERS AND Kapil Chit Funds Private Limied. …RESPONDENT Counsel for the petitioners: MR. K. BUCHI BABU Counsel for the Respondent: --NONE APPEARED-- The Court made the following: - ORDER: The respondent – chit fund company filed a suit for recovery of money against the petitioners in O.S.No.135 of 2002 before the Junior Civil Judge, Huzurabad. The petitioner filed an application being I.A.No.621 of 2004 therein to call upon the respondent/plaintiff to produce Chit Registration Certificate, Chit Commencement Certificate and Deposit of paid up value. That application was contested and was dismissed under the impugned order dated 25.02.2008. This revision questions the said order. 2. The revision petition was admitted on 21.08.2008 but there is no interim order in favour of the petitioner and in all probabilities the suit being of the year 2002 must have been disposed of by now. Even otherwise, it is not for petitioner/defendant to call upon the respondent/plaintiff to produce his documents to prove his case. The petitioner, as defendant in the suit, can raise the defences available to him under law and contest the claim of the plaintiff but that will not include calling upon the plaintiff to produce documents, as desired by the defendant. The petitioner’s application, being clearly misconceived and apparently, an attempt to delay the disposal of the suit, was rightly dismissed. Even otherwise, I find no merits in the revision petition. The civil revision petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ VILAS V.
