IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.3884 of 2010 Between: Talluri Paul and others ..... PETITIONER(S) AND Kapil Chit Funds Pvt. Ltd., Narasaraopet Branch, rep. by its Recovery Officer .....RESPONDENT(S) HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.3884 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioners, who are defendants, filed this revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India inter alia seeking to assail the correctness of the order dismissing the application purported to have been filed by them under Order XIV Rule 2 and Section 151 of CPC with a prayer to hear and decide the Issue No.2, which pertains to territorial jurisdiction to try the Suit, as a preliminary issue. Heard. Perused the material available on record. Admittedly, petitioners are the defendants in the Suit for recovery of money filed by the respondent-chit fund company in the year 2007. No doubt, the petitioners appear to have taken the plea of territorial jurisdiction in their written statement. However, as the present application was filed in 2009 and at this length of time since a petition of this nature is wholly misconceived, the Court below rightly dismissed the same. Therefore, I find no reason in the impugned order warranting inference by this Court. The Civil Revision Petition is devoid of merits and hence is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J 1st October, 2010 CVRK
