THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.5420 OF 2011 DATED 16TH DECEMBER, 2011 BETWEEN Smt.Racha Jana Bai …Petitioner And Vaddepally Veena Devi and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.5420 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner, being one of the plaintiffs in O.S.No.20 of 2000 on the file of the Principal District Judge, Medak at Sangareddy, filed I.A.No.1495 of 2007 therein seeking the permission of the Court to file a rejoinder. By order dated 05.03.2009, the Court below dismissed the said application. Aggrieved thereby, she filed the present Civil Revision Petition. It was the case of the petitioner before the Court below that she was brought on record as the legal representative of her mother, who was arrayed as a plaintiff in the suit. She claimed that her counsel did not inform her about the suit proceedings and therefore she could not file a rejoinder earlier. The application was contested by the defendants in the suit contending that as the suit itself was coming up for arguments, the question of receiving a rejoinder at that stage did not arise. The Court below taking note of the provisions of Order VIII Rule 9 CPC held that the application to file a rejoinder was filed at a belated stage and accordingly rejected the same. Pertinent to note, the order was passed by the Court below as long back as on 05.03.2009. The same is sought to be assailed by the petitioner in December, 2011 after a long lapse of more than 2½ years. There is no explanation forthcoming as to why the petitioner did not choose to challenge the order immediately if she was aggrieved thereby. The lethargy shown by the petitioner during the suit proceedings, as is brought out by the order under revision, is manifest even in approaching this Court. This Court is therefore not inclined to entertain the Civil Revision Petition and the same is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. There shall however be no order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 16TH DECEMBER, 2011. VGSR/PGS
