THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.CHANDRA KUMAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4124 of 2009 Dated:- 04th February, 2011 Between:- Punati Pushpavathi …Petitioner AND Dammalapati Ramalingam and others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.CHANDRA KUMAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4124 of 2009 ORDER:- This revision is directed against the order dated 29.07.2009 passed in I.A.No.894 of 2009 in O.S.No.257 of 2003 by the Senior Civil Judge, Khammam, whereby and whereunder, the petition filed by the petitioner herein to issue summons to one Relangi Raju, Architect and Property Valuer, M/s.Sai City Bulders, Wyra Road, Khammam, to determine the market value of property for better and effective adjudication, was dismissed. The brief facts of the case are as follows:- The petitioner herein is the plaintiff in the Original Suit being O.S.No.257 of 2003. The said suit has been filed to claim damages. His main contention is that the respondents 1 and 2 had sold the suit schedule property for Rs.33,200/- through registered sale deed bearing No.2995 of 1993 dated 30.04.1993, misrepresenting that the land is situated in Survey no.120 of Khanapuram Haveli. It is also his case that in the year 2001, revenue officials demarcated the Government lands in Survey No.94 including his plot and the lands were declared as Government lands by the revenue officials. He filed a suit claiming compensation by valuing the property at Rs.1,500/- per square yard and filed a suit for recovery of Rs.6,80,214/- towards compensation. After the completion of the evidence and when the case was posted for arguments, he filed the impugned I.A., under Order XVI Rule 7 (a) C.P.C. praying to summon one Relangi Raju, Architect and Property Valuer, M/s.Sai Cit Bulders, Wyra Road, Khamma to determine the market value. Admittedly, the impugned I.A. has been filed after the Original Suit has been posted for arguments and thus, the petitioner is guilty of laches. He ought to have filed the impugned I.A. at the beginning of the trial itself. Therefore, I do not see any reason to interfere with the impugned order of the Court below. The Civil Revision Petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________________ JUSTICE B.CHANDRA KUMAR 04th February, 2011 Bvv
