HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.3713 OF 2010 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition is filed against the order in I.A. No.413 of 2006 in O.S. No.242 of 2005 dated 28-06-2010 passed by the learned Senior Civil Judge, Khammam. 2. Petitioner is defendant No.1, respondent No.1 is plaintiff and respondent Nos.2 to 6 are defendant Nos.2 to 6. 3. Grievance of the petitioner is that after filing of the suit, he went to respondent No.1, Chit Fund Company (plaintiff), and discussed the matter and it was agreed by respondent No.1 that it would not insist for recovery of the suit amount from the petitioner and other defendants and that it would receive the amount in installments and in view of that undertaking given by respondent No.1, petitioner did not attend the trial Court and the trial Court passed ex parte decree against the petitioner and other defendants. Further, the petition filed by the petitioner for condoning the delay in filing the petition to set aside the ex parte decree was also dismissed by the learned Senior Civil judge vide impugned order. Hence, this revision. 4. Now, contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner was not aware of the ex parte decree, as such, he could not approach the trial Court immediately for setting aside the ex parte decree. 5. Whether the contention of the petitioner that he was not aware of the ex parte decree is right or not, his plea itself is that he is liable to respondent No.1 and he wanted to pay the same in installments. That being the merits of the case, where the petitioner is not disputing his liability, there is no point in setting aside the ex parte decree by condoning the delay and allowing him to participate in trial as the same would be unnecessary exercise causing loss of time and money to the petitioner as well as respondent No.1. 6. In view of the above, I see no merits in this revision and the same is liable to be dismissed. 7. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed at the admission stage itself. However, the executing Court may grant appropriate installments to the petitioner for payment of balance amount due by him to respondent No.1. No order as to costs. ____________________ P.
