HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITON No.918 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners filed O.S. No.205 of 2000 in the Court of the Junior Civil Judge, Atmakur, Kurnool District, against the respondent for recovery of a sum of Rs.12,000/- with interest. The suit was dismissed on 12-09-2001 for non-payment of batta. The petitioner filed an application on 10-10-2001 to set aside the order, dated 12-09-2001, duly enclosing the batta. However, on the ground that the application was filed in hand writing, the office returned the I.A. The petitioner did not pursue the matter thereafter. It was only on 28-03-2006, that he re- presented the application in the typed form. Since, there was delay of about 4 years, he filed I.A No.581 of 2006 with a prayer to condone the delay in re-presentation. The trial Court dismissed the I.A through order, dated 25-11-2010. Hence, this writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. 3. It is no doubt true that the delay in re-presentation is enormous. The fact, however, remains that a different approach needs to be adopted for condonation of delay in re-presentation when compared to the one for delay in presentation of the proceedings. The petitioner has already approached the Court within limitation. The suit was dismissed for non-payment of batta. Because the objection was trivial, obviously, the petitioner thought it fit to file an application in hand-writing. The trial Court however, returned the same. The petitioner is said to have shifted to a far off place for his livelihood. The delay in representation deserves to be condoned. 5. Hence, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside. As a result, I.A. No.581 of 2006 is allowed and the delay in re-presentation is codoned. If the petitioner pays fresh batta within two weeks from today, the order, dated 12-09- 2001 shall stand set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J April 21, 2011. Note: Issue CC in three days. B/O. KTL
