BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5980 of 2008 AND C.R.P.MP.No.7548 OF 2009 Between: Adapa Srinivas, S/o. Purnam Chander ..... PETITIONER AND Medishetti Pratap, S/o. Anjaiah ....RESPONDENT The Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5980 of 2008 AND C.R.P.MP.No.7548 OF 2009 ORDER: This civil revision petition, under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short, “C.P.C.”), is directed against the order, dated 17.09.2008, passed in I.A.No.429 of 2008 in O.P.No.480 of 2008 on the file of District Judge, Adilabad, whereunder and whereby, the application filed under Section 9 (1) of the Guardians and Wards Act, 1980, was allowed and the O.P. was returned for presentation before appropriate Court. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The only grievance of the petitioner in this revision petition is that the trial Court has not followed the procedure as contemplated under Order VII Rule 10-A of C.P.C. 4. The O.P. is filed for appointing the petitioner as guardian of the minor, under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, on the ground that he is the natural father of the minor. The trial Court returned the petition for presentation in appropriate Court. 5. As rightly contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the provisions of Order VII Rule 10-A of C.P.C. would squarely apply to the case because after the appearance of the parties, an application is filed by the petitioner. Therefore, in such circumstances the trial Court ought to have fixed a date and the date so fixed should have been informed to the parties, but that has not been done so. So, instead of remanding the matter, the order can be modified directing both the parties to appear before the District Court, Adilabad, on 25.03.2010. In the meanwhile, the petitioner shall take return of the petition from the trial Court and present the same before the District Court, Adilabad. 6. In view of the above, no further orders are required to be passed in the miscellaneous petition. Hence, the miscellaneous petition is dismissed. 7. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed directing both the parties to appear before the District Court, Adilabad, on 25.03.2010. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ K.C.
