IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision : 01.11.2010 C.R.No.7163 of 2010 (O&M) Ram Bhaj ...Petitioner Versus Satpal Singh ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present : Mr. Saurabh Bajaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral) The defendant is in revision aggrieved against the orders dated 13.02.2010 and 03.09.2010 passed by the learned trial Court and learned first Appellate Court respectively, whereby the application to set aside the ex parte judgment and decree dated 12.05.1997 was dismissed. The plaintiff-respondent has filed a suit for recovery of Rs.40,800/-. In the said suit, the defendant was served and has put in appearance through his counsel, but subsequently the defence was struck off as the written statement was not filed and the suit was decreed. The application for setting aside the ex parte judgment and decree has been filed after more than 12 years i.e. on 24.12.2009. It is the said application, which has been dismissed by both the Courts below. Once the defendant is served and has put in appearance through his counsel, the application to set aside the ex parte judgment and decree filed after 12 years lacks bona fide. The application has been filed on wholly untenable and unbelievable grounds. In view of the above, I do not find any patent illegality or irregularity in the findings recorded by the Courts below, which may warrant any interference by this Court in its revisional jurisdiction. Dismissed. C.R.No.7156 of 2010 (O&M) 01.11.2010 (HEMANT GUPTA) Vimal JUDGE 2
