Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest. Present: Shri Naresh Katyal, Advocate for the petitioner. ORDER Surya Kant, J. - This Revision Petition is directed against the order dated 22.12.2007 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Chandigarh whereby the application moved by the petitioners to grant leave to defend has been dismissed. The facts may be noticed briefly. The respondent – plaintiff filed a suit for recovery of Rs.1,69,400/- against Smt. Prem Lata Soni (since deceased) under Order 37 CPC on the basis of a promissory note-cum-receipt dated 30.4.1994. Smt. Prem Lata Soni applied for leave to defend and the same was granted by the learned trial court vide its order dated 27.9.2000. Smt. Prem Lata Soni, however, did not file any written statement nor did she pay the costs imposed upon her. Resultantly, her defence was struck off by the learned trial court vide order dated 7.5.2001. Thereafter, Smt. Prem Lata Soni unfortunately expired. The petitioners herein are the legal representatives of Smt. Prem Lata Soni. They were brought on record and upon issuance of notice to them, they again applied for the grant of leave to defend. Their application, however, has been dismissed by the learned trial court vide the impugned order after observing that the legal representatives of a party are entitled to pursue the proceedings from the stage where the case was left on the death of the said party. No exception can be taken to the view formed by the learned trial court. Consequently, no case to interfere with the impugned order in exercise of the revisional jurisdiction is made out. Dismissed. February 13, 2008. [ Surya Kant ] kadyan Judge
