THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.3146 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioners-plaintiffs 1 to 3 filed this revision under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, inter alia, seeking to assail the correctness of the order dated 25.03.2009 passed in I.A.No.148 of 2008 in O.S.No.1839 of 2005 on the file of the XI Additional Senior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, in dismissing the petition filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963, to condone the delay of 225 days in filing the petition to restore the suit dismissed for default on 06.02.2008. Admittedly, the suit is of comprehensive nature seeking for partition where substantial rights of the parties are affected. There is no dispute to the fact that the first plaintiff died in the month of June 2007 and hence, the second plaintiff could not attend the Court and continue the proceedings personally. Having regard to the fact that the parties are contesting the proceedings where substantial properties are involved and as it is now well established that the Rules of Procedure are meant to aid the parties but not to punish them, more so, when the parties come forward with the applications of this nature to participate in the proceedings, necessarily, the Courts should be more liberal and should be in such a manner that opportunities are provided, failing which, there will be one-sided orders, which should be avoided. In view of the above, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed and the order dated 25.03.2009 is set aside. Consequently, I.A.No.148 of 2008 is allowed. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) 4th March 2011 RRB
