THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.5041 OF 2009 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition is filed aggrieved by the order dated 22.07.2009 passed in I.A.No.147 of 2009 in O.S.No.20 of 2002 by the I-Additional District Judge, Guntur, whereby the learned Judge dismissed the application filed to condone the delay of 36 days in filing the petition to set aside the ex parte decree passed in the suit. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material available on record. From the perusal of the impugned order, it is found that earlier the suit was decreed ex parte and on an application in I.A.No.2101 of 2008 being filed by the petitioner, it was set aside imposing costs and on a further condition that the matter should be proceeded on day-to- day basis. After the suit was restored to file, it was posted to 20.08.2009 and on that day the petitioner was called absent and his counsel sought for adjournment and accordingly, time was granted and the matter was posted to 10.09.2009. On 10.09.2009 also, the counsel for the petitioner sought for adjournment and it was posted to 17.09.2008. On 17.09.2008, there was no representation and the matter was posted to the next day and as on that day also there was no representation, the ex parte decree, which was set aside in I.A.No.2101 of 2008 conditionally, was restored. In the affidavit filed in support of the instant application also, the petitioner went on blaming the other side and had not shown any sufficient cause for the delay caused in filing the petition to set aside the ex parte decree except stating that as the file was misplaced in the Office for 36 days, the delay occurred. Without giving any sufficient cause for the delay, one cannot seek condonation of the same and the continuous absence of the petitioner on every date of adjournment even though there is a conditional order by the Court below that the matter should be proceeded on day-to-day bais shows that the petitioner was only protracting the matter. Therefore, for the well-founded reasons given by the Court below for dismissal of the application, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order. The Civil Revision Petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J Dated 30th October, 2009 vrn
