Civil Revision No. 4131 of 2009 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 4131 of 2009 Date of Decision: 27-07-2009 Dinesh Swaroop ......Petitioner Versus Vinod Swaroop and others .......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri R.C. Dogra, Senior Advocate, with Ms. Balwinder Kaur, Advocate, for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral). The plaintiff is in revision aggrieved against the order passed by the learned trial Court, whereby an application filed by the plaintiff for striking off the defence of the defendant Nos. 5 and 6 was dismissed. It has been found that on 4.1.2008, the said defendants have filed the written statement i.e., within the time granted by the Court. It was thereafter, the plaintiff moved the present application to the effect that the written statement by defendant Nos. 5 and 6 was not been filed within the time prescribed in terms of the amended provisions of Order 8 Rule 1 CPC. The reasoning given by the learned trial Court does not suffer from any patent illegality or irregularity, which may warrant interference by Civil Revision No. 4131 of 2009 (2) this Court in exercise of its revisional jurisdiction. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the trial should be expedited in view of the fact that the suit was filed in the year 2004. However, the record reveals that the written statement was filed on 4.1.2008. It was the plaintiff, who has delayed the proceedings, in as much as a totally misconceived and frivolous application was filed, which delayed the proceedings for one and half year. In view of the said fact, it does not lie in the mouth of the plaintiff to seek early disposal of the suit. Consequently, the present revision petition is dismissed. (HEMANT GUPTA) JUDGE 27-07-2009 ds
