HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION Nos.1642, 1643, 1644 of 2009 COMMON ORDER: Since all these revision petitions arise out of the same suit, they are being taken up together for disposal. The petitioners herein are the defendants who seek to assail the orders rejecting applications, one filed for permitting the petitioners to cross-examine P.Ws.3 and 6 and another one to reopen the suit and also to receive affidavit of one Pusapati Lakshmi Narasimha Rao as additional evidence. The case of the petitioners is to the effect that it is only after such delay those aspects have come to their notice, and therefore, it necessitated the petitioners to make such an exercise without which there would be great irreparable loss and injury. The Court below, after hearing the case of both sides and especially, in view of the fact that the suit is an old one and the trial has already over and the case is coming up for arguments, did not find favour and dismissed all the three applications. Hence, these revision petitions. Having heard the learned counsel and on perusal of the material on record, it is quite apparent that the realization on the part of the petitioners for the relief as sought for in these applications is quite late and that too at the stage of arguments. There is no explanation forthcoming for such delay, especially, when the suit itself is pending since 1996 onwards. The vague reasoning shown in the affidavit cannot be accepted on the face of it. Hence, there is absolutely no warrant to interfere under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, all the three Civil Revision Petitions are dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J Date: 09th October, 2009 SKM
