THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.2522 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner filed this revision under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 {“CPC” for brevity}, inter alia, seeking to assail the correctness of the order dated 16.12.2008 passed in E.A.No.26 of 2008 in E.P.No.19 of 2007 in O.S.No.1408 of 2001 on the file of the VIII Additional Senior Civil Judge (FTC), City Civil Court, Hyderabad, in dismissing the petition filed under Order VIII Rule 9 CPC, seeking permission to file rejoinder to the counter filed by respondents 1 to 3 in E.A.. It is now well established that a claim petition is as good as a regular suit and includes all the drafting including the procedural aspects. Therefore, the question of non-applicability of the provision for entitlement of rejoinder does not arise. Necessarily, any claim petitioner can file a rejoinder. In view of the above, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed and the order dated 16.12.2008 in E.A.No.26 of 2008 is set aside. Consequently, E.A.No.26 of 2008 stands allowed. It is always open for the respondents herein to file further pleadings in the suit. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) 4th March 2011 RRB
