The Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao Civil Revision Petition No.3816 of 2008 Order: Petitioner, who is the defendant in O.S.No.170 of 2003 on the file of the Court of the Junior Civil Judge, Chintalapudi, invokes this Court’s jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India inter alia seeking to assail order, dated 13-08-2008, allowing I.A.No.161 of 2008, purported to have been filed under Section 148 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (for short ‘the CPC’) granting one month time for compliance of the condition of deposit of the balance sale consideration into the Court. The main submission made on behalf of the petitioner is to the effect that having regard to the period of three months originally granted in the decree, the Court below ought not to have allowed the application far beyond the expiry of such period. It is further submitted that the decree in O.S.No.170 of 2003 was passed on 25-09-2007 and the time granted therein was for a period of three months, which expires by 25-12-2007, whereas the present application is filed on 18th March, 2008, and therefore, the very application is barred. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and perused the entire material available on record. Even on reading of Section 148 CPC, it is clear that where any period is fixed or granted by the Court for the doing of any act prescribed or allowed by this Code, the Court may, in its discretion, from time to time, enlarge such period (not exceeding thirty days in total), even though the period originally fixed or granted may have expired. In view of the same, the submission made by the learned Counsel for the petitioner that the impugned application itself is barred does not hold water. Hence, I do not find any merits in this Civil Revision Petition and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ B.Prakash Rao, J Date: 19-08-2010 lur
