THE HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO:1571 OF 2011 DATE:21.11.2011 BETWEEN MR YOGESH …PETITIONER AND MR.M.RAMAKRISHNA & OTHERS …RESPONDENTS. THIS COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING: THE HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO:1571 OF 2011 ORDER: The revision petitioner is the defendant No.16 in O.S.1506 of 2005 on the file of the Court of IV Additional District Judge, Ranga Reddy. The 1st respondent herein is the plaintiff who filed the suit for declaration that the development agreement dated 25.2.1993 and the General Power of Attorney dated 18.3.1993 are not valid and also for a declaration that the sale deeds executed in favour of defendant Nos.2 to 23 are null and void. The revision petitioner/defendant No.16 was set exparte on 9.6.2009, for not filing the written statement. On 29.6.2009 he filed I.A.1392 of 2009 for setting aside the exparte order. However, the said application was dismissed for default by order, dated 11.2.2010. Hence the petitioner filed an application for restoration along with I.A.560 of 2010 under section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of the delay of 257 days in filing the petition for restoration. The said application for condonation of delay was dismissed by the Court below by order dated 18.1.2011 observing that there were no bonafides in the application. Aggrieved by the said order, the present revision petition is filed by the defendant No.16. Having heard the learned counsel for both the parties and having considered the material available on record, particularly the reasons explained by the petitioner for the delay in filing the application for restoration, I am of the opinion that sufficient cause was made out. Hence the Court below was not justified in dismissing the application. Accordingly, the order under Revision is set aside and I.A.560 of 2010 is allowed subject to the condition that the revision petitioner/defendant No.16 files his written statement on or before 28.11.2011. The revision petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _______________ Justice G.ROHINI Dt. 21.11.2011 Note:- CC by tomorrow.
