THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH C.R.P.No.801 of 2010 O R D E R: This Civil Revision Petition is directed against the order, dated 02.02.2010 passed in I.A.No.1615 of 2009 in O.S.No.345 of 2006 by the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Tirupati. The petitioners herein are the plaintiffs, who filed I.A.No.1615 of 2009 in O.S.No.345 of 2006 on the file of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Tirupati, under Section 151 CPC for reopening of the plaintiffs’ evidence to receive the chief-affidavit of PW.11, their vendor, contending that their application in I.A.No.1480 of 2009 to reopen their evidence to examine their vendor stood posted to 9.12.2009, for the counter of defendant No.1 and the chief-affidavit of PW.11 (vendor of the plaintiff) was signed by him on 17.11.2009, but as the I.A. was coming up for counter it was not filed on 20.11.2009 or 09.12.2009. Therefore the said application was filed to reopen the evidence of PW.11. The said I.A. was dismissed on the ground that the plaintiffs have examined ten witnesses from 27.01.2009 to 17.7.2009 and they did not preserve any right to adduce further evidence and after closing of their evidence only, it was posted for defendants evidence and defendants also examined their witnesses and reported no evidence. Accordingly, the suit was posted to 17.9.2009 for arguments. When the case is posted for arguments on 17.9.2009, there was no such application filed before the Court below and only on 18.12.2009, the said application seeking to reopen the case for the purpose of receiving the chief-affidavit of PW.11 was filed. Admittedly, the plaintiffs’ evidence was began first and their evidence was closed and there was no pleading of preserving their right to adduce further evidence. In the circumstances, I am of the opinion that after closing of the defendants evidence, filing of the said application by the petitioner is not at all maintainable and the Court below had rightly dismissed the said I.A. Therefore, I do not find any illegality or irregularity in the impugned order passed by the Court below. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. No costs. _______________ V.ESWARAIAH,J 18th June, 2010 PNV
