JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG * * * Present: Mr. Akshay Bhan, Advocate and Mr. Santosh Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. P.K. Gupta, Advocate for the respondents. * * * Rakesh Kumar Garg, J.(Oral) This revision petition has been filed by the plaintiffs challenging the order dated 29.5.2004 passed by the Additional District Judge (Ad hoc), Patiala whereby application filed by them for recalling the order dated 7.4.2004 deciding the appeal as compromised, was rejected being not maintainable. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record of this revision petition. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the same is cryptic and no valid reasons have been given for rejecting the application filed by the petitioners. In view of the aforesaid, I deem it appropriate to set aside the impugned order and remand the matter to the Lower Appellate Court for giving a fresh decision, after getting reply and counter reply, on the application for review/recalling the order dated 7.4.2004, in accordance with law. Let the parties appear before the Lower Appellate Court on 17.7.2009. CR No.3518 of 2004 -2- Records of the Courts below be sent back. Let the Lower Appellate Court decide the matter expeditiously preferably within six months.
