THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4052 of 2009 ORDER: Petitioner is the defendant in O.S.No.964 of 2008 filed by the respondent herein in the Court of District Judge, Ranga Reddy at L.B.Nagar, seeking declaration that he is the absolute owner of house bearing No.4-54, admeasuring 200 sq.yards in plot No.117 in Survey No.78 situated at Hafeepet, Rajendranagar Taluq, Ranga Reddy District and to recover possession of the said house property. As she could not file the written statement in the above suit within the prescribed time due to ill-health, she filed I.A.No.2916 of 2009 before the Court below with a prayer to extend the time for filing written statement. The Court below taking into consideration the fact that despite imposing costs, the petitioner has not filed written statement, dismissed the I.A. and set exparte the petitioner. Questioning the said order, the petitioner filed this Civil Revision Petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the respondent filed O.S.No.964 of 2008 in respect of the very same schedule property in O.S.No.789 of 2003, which was filed by the petitioner and is pending and that to ascertain whether the pleadings of the respondent, as mentioned in the plaint in O.S.No.964 of 2008, are correct or not, filing of written statement is very much necessary. He submitted that the petitioner may be granted eight (8) weeks’ time for filing written statement in O.S.No.964 of 2008, for which, the learned counsel for the respondent opposed and submitted that the petitioner may be granted reasonable time. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. Admittedly, the suit is of the year 2008 and was filed for declaration of title and recovery of possession of the suit spchedule property. Therefore, I am of the prima facie opinion that no prejudice would be caused to the respondent, if reasonable time is granted to the petitioner for filing written statement. In view of the same, I deem it appropriate to grant four (4) weeks’ time to the petitioner for filing written statement in O.S.No.964 of 2008 from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observation, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ N.V.RAMANA, J 4th DECEMBER, 2009. kvni
