HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.2803 of 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner presented a plaint in the Court of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Ongole, with C.F.No.3108 of 2008 (on 02.05.2008), against the respondents for recovery of such amount on the strength of a chit transaction. The trial court returned the plaint on 07.05.2008, on the ground that the petitioner must exhaust the remedy under Section 53-A of the A.P. Chit Funds Act, 1971 (for short 'the Act') as amended through A.P. Ordinance 11 of 2007. The petitioner challenges the same. Sri B.Nalin Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that though the A.P. State Government issued Ordinance 11 of 2007, on 26.09.2007, it did not materialize into an Act, since the time stipulated under the relevant provisions of the Constitution, had expired. He places reliance upon the Division Bench judgment of this Court in W.P.No.12674 of 2008, dated 18.07.2008. Strictly speaking, the revision is not maintainable, since it is filed against an order, returning the plaint. The petitioner can certainly re- present the plaint with the same contentions, that are advanced before this Court. Hence, the civil revision petition is disposed of, directing that it shall be open to the petitioner to re-present the plaint, duly mentioning the judgment of this Court in W.P.No.12674 of 2008, which is to the effect that the Ordinance 11 of 2007 had lapsed. In such an event, the trial Court shall process the plaint, without reference to Section 53-A of the Act. // 2 // The Registry is directed to return the original plaint to the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J 3rd August, 2009 ko/sur
