The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Civil Revision Petition No.2602 of 2009 Dated: 28-08-2009 Between: Siliveri Rajaiah. ….Petitioner And Kumbam Sarotham Reddy. …..Respondent ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is filed by the defendant in O.S.No.99 of 2007 aggrieved by Order, dated 06-05-2009, passed by the learned Junior Civil Judge, Parkal, in I.A.No.61 of 2009 therein. The respondent/plaintiff filed O.S.No.99 of 2007 for recovery of money based on a pronote and an ex parte decree was passed by the Court below 11th December, 2007. The said suit was decreed basing on the note of the process server that suit summons were served on the son of the defendant. The petitioner/defendant filed I.A.No.61 of 2009 stating that he was not aware of the suit proceedings and passing of ex paarte decree till his salary was attached in execution proceedings. The Court below by recording the reason that there is no valid explanation to explain the abnormal delay of 469 days in filing the interlocutory application under Order IX Rule 13 of the Civil Procedure Code to set aside ex parte decree, dated 11-12-2007, rejecting the said IA. Heard the learned Counsel for the parties and perused the entire material available on record. It is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioner/defendant that the petitioner/defendant was not aware of the suit proceedings till his salary was attached. A perusal of the impugned order would show that the Court below has recorded specific finding that notices were sent in execution proceedings and the same was recorded in docket proceedings in E.P.No.29 of 2008 on 28-08-2008 whereas the application for condonation of delay is filed on 24th April, 2009. Even assuming that for any reason there is no valid service of summons in the suit, the abnormal delay from 28th August 2008 to 24th April, 2009 is not at all explained. In the absence of any satisfactory explanation for such delay and in view of refusal of notice in execution proceedings by the petitioner on 20th August, 2008, his plea that he was not aware of the suit proceedings till his salary was attached cannot be accepted. Therefore, I do not find any illegality in the impugned order passed by the Court below. The Civil Revision Petition is devoid of merits and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Dated 28th August, 2009 lur
