After hearing both sides, the Court below dismissed the same. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. It is the case of the petitioner/defendant No.1 that his elder brother(defendant No.2) was looking after the above case and that on the information given by the Bank officials, he came to know that the suit is pending. There is no explanation given by the petitioner as to why he has not been evincing any interest in the suit for the last 14 years. Except stating that his brother is looking after the case, he did not approach the Court for the past 14 years to set aside the ex parte order, dated 03.10.1997. Therefore, the trial Court after considering the evidence on record, rightly dismissed the application and that order needs no interference by this Court. However, this order will not preclude the petitioner in participating the proceedings. 5. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ K.C.BHANU, J DECEMBER 09, 2011. YVL
