THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: HARUN-UL-RASHID, J. ------------------------ O.P.(C).No.906 Of 2011 ---------------------- Dated this the 4th day of March, 2011. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is the 3rd defendant in O.S.No.349 of 2009 on the file of the II Additional Sub Court, Thrissur. The O.P is filed challenging Ext.P2 order passed by the learned Sub Judge in I.A.No.10665/2010. There was a direction by the court below to the petitioner to file written statement. In spite of the direction the petitioner has not chosen to file written statement. The court dismissed the application for setting aside the ex-parte order finding that the petition is filed to protract the case and that the petition is filed without any bonafides. 2. The petitioner entered appearance in the suit, but did not file written statement in time. She was represented by the lawyer. In spite of opportunities granted she failed to file written statement. The court specifically directed the petitioner to file written statement. Even thereafter, no written statement was filed, but filed an application for setting aside the order setting her ex-parte. In the above circumstances, the court dismissed I.A.No.10665/2010 stating the reasons for dismissal. I find that ::2:: O.P(C).No.906 Of 2011 no valid grounds are made out by the petitioner for interference with the impugned order in exercise of the power vested under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The original petition fails and accordingly, dismissed. HARUN-UL-RASHID, Judge. bkn/-
