This Civil Revision Petition is directed against the order and decree, dated 17.02.2009, passed by the IV Additional Senior Civil Judge (Fast Track Court), Vijayawada, dismissing the application in I.A.No.156 of 2008 in O.S.No.860 of 2003, filed under Order 9 Rule 7 and Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure praying to set aside the ex parte order, dated 20.02.2004, passed against the second defendant-corporation in the said suit. 3. The petitioner is the second defendant and respondents 1 and 2 are the plaintiff and the first defendant, respectively, in the suit. 4. Perused the impugned order, passed by the Court below, and also the affidavit, filed in support of the petition under Order 9 Rule 7 of C.P.C., of the petitioner before the Court below. The reasons given therein are, apparently, genuine. The presence and participation of the petitioner in the suit proceedings is necessary to arrive at a just conclusion by the Court below for the disposal of the suit. 5.

In the result, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed, at the stage of admission, setting aside the order, dated 17.02.2009, passed by the IV Additional Senior Civil Judge (Fast Track Court), Vijayawada, in I.A.No.156 of 2008 in O.S.No.860 of 203 on the file of However, there shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA 20th November 2009 dr
