HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.726 of 2010 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition is filed by the Gram Panchayat, Pathapatnam represented by its Secretary. The Gram Panchayat filed a suit against the respondents herein for rendition of accounts and for recovery of amounts allegedly due from the respondents. They filed I.A. No.244 of 2009, under Section 151 C.P.C, to condone the delay of 372 days in representing the suit. While Sri T. Rajasekhar Rao, Learned Counsel for the respondent, would contend that the I.A as filed is not maintainable, I see no justification in refusing to entertain the revision in exercise of the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. As the I.A, filed for condonation of the delay in re-presenting the suit, was dismissed the petitioner has been denied the right to have the suit adjudicated on merits. It is not as if the suit as filed is barred by limitation. As the suit was filed in time, and the delay is in re-presenting the suit after compliance of the objections raised by the office of the Court below, I consider it appropriate to set aside the order of the Court below on terms. On the petitioner paying Rs.500/- to each of the respondents i.e., respondent Nos.1 to 4, the Court below shall number the suit and entertain the same in accordance with law. The Civil Revision Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. Date:02.06.2010 ___________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J MRKR
