HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.2213 of 2006 ORDER: Heard Sri M.S. Prasad, learned counsel for the revision petitioner, and Sri N.A.Ramachandra Murthy, learned Assistant Government Pleader for the 1st respondent. This civil revision petition is directed against the judgment rendered by the Chairman, Land Reforms Appellate Tribunal-cum-II Addl. District Judge, West Godavari, Eluru, in L.R.A.No.10 of 2000 on 05.04.2006 allowing the appeal and setting aside the order of the primary Tribunal dated 29.03.1997 in so far as deletion of Ac.18.31 cents from the holding of the declarant. Without going into the merits and rival contentions about the computation of the holding of the declarant, one of the primary reasons of challenge against the impugned judgment is that the counsel for the revision petitioner before the appellate Tribunal was absent on the date of hearing due to his suffering a heart attack, inspite of which, the appellate Tribunal proceeded to hear the matter ex parte without of course recording that it was an ex parte order. The fact that the learned counsel for the revision petitioner before the appellate Tribunal suffered a heart attack and was physically disabled from attending the appellate Tribunal on the date of hearing, is not seriously in dispute, and if so, the judgment passed affecting the valuable rights in an immovable property without hearing the revision petitioner needs to be reversed so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to the revision petitioner also to have his case argued before the appellate Tribunal on merits. The learned counsel for the revision petitioner brought to the notice of this Court that identical judgments passed by the same Land Reforms Appellate Tribunal in the absence of counsel for the parties were interfered with in identical revisions by two other learned Judges of this Court, who remanded the matters for fresh consideration. The jurisdiction of this Court in revision has to be invoked in equity in this case also on similar lines and the judgment dated 05.04.2006 in L.R.A.No.10 of 2000 on the file of the Chairman, Land Reforms Appellate Tribunal- cum-II Addl. District Judge, West Godavari, Eluru, is set aside and L.R.A.No.10 of 2000 is remitted back to the appellate Tribunal for determination on merits and according to law after affording every reasonable opportunity to both parties as expeditiously as possible at any rate within a period of three months from the date of communication of this order. The Civil Revision Petition is accordingly ordered. No costs. ____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 15.07.2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.
