C.R. No.4771 of 2010 - 1 - ****** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No.4771 of 2010 Date of decision:30.08.2010. Parkash and others ...Petitioners Versus Kanwar Pal and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Roopak Bansal, Advocate, for the petitioners. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against order dated 02.06.2010 passed by the Additional District Judge, Panipat whereby an application filed by the petitioners for extension of time to affix court fee in terms of Section 148 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 [for short “CPC”], has been dismissed. In brief, the petitioners are defending a suit for specific performance which has been decreed by the learned Trial Court on 17.08.2009. In first appeal, initially, they filed an application seeking permission to file the appeal as indigent persons. The said application was dismissed on 22.05.2010 but that order was challenged by the petitioners by way of filing C.R. No.4101 of C.R. No.4771 of 2010 - 2 - ****** 2010 titled as 'Parkash and others Vs. Kanwar Pal and others' which was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 05.07.2010. The petitioners then filed an application for extension of time in order to affix the requisite court fee to pursue the appeal. Time was granted but that was not found to be sufficient. Thereafter, another application was filed by the petitioners for extension of time. Learned First Appellate Court granted two more days for making the deficiency in court fee good, but still the petitioners prayed for more time to affix the court fee. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the learned Trial Court could not have granted the decree for specific performance as the land in dispute was already sold by the petitioners on 17.07.2000, whereas the suit was filed on 25.08.2000. Be that as it may, since the petitioners are ready to affix the court fee of Rs.59,120/-, therefore, another 15 days time is granted to them to affix the court fee. The period of 15 days would start from the date of order passed by this Court. In case, the court fee is not affixed within a period of 15 days, this revision petition would be deemed to have been dismissed. With these observations, the present revision petition is disposed of.
