THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No. 2521 of 2010 ORDER: 1. This Civil Revision Petition is filed aggrieved by the order dated 15.04.2010 in I.A. No.792 of 2010 in A.S.S.R. No.2753 of 2010 on the file of the Principal District Judge, Ranga Reddy. 2. Heard both sides. 3. There was a delay of 507 days in filing an appeal by the respondent/defendant against the judgment and decree dated 12.09.2008 in Original Suit No.574 of 1991 on the file of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy. Vide the impugned order, the court below allowed the petition filed to condone the delay on payment of costs of Rs.2,000/- to the petitioner/plaintiff. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner/plaintiff contended that the delay in filing the appeal has not been explained properly and therefore, he prays to set aside the same. The court below, upon considering the matter, came to the conclusion that if the respondent-corporation is not given an opportunity, the community’s interest would suffer by default, and condoned the delay. No doubt, there are some lapses on the part of the officials of the respondent-corporation in filing the appeal in time. At the same time, when the dispute is relating to public interest where interest of the community at large is at stake, some delay, if any, can be condoned. That is the reason why the court below rightly condoned the delay and there are no grounds to interfere with the same. 5. The Civil Revision Petition is devoid of merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. --------------------- (K.C.Bhanu, J.) 21.3.2011 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No. 2521 of 2010 21.3.2011 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No. 2521 of 2010 21.3.2011 Between: G.Babu Rao …Petitioner And Gram Panchayat, Gaddiannaram …Respondent
