The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Civil Revision Petition No.2263 of 2010 Dated 30th July, 2010 Between: Jonnalagadda Krishna Prasad …Petitioner And Avula Sreedevi …Respondent Counsel for the petitioner: Mr.A.V.Seshasai Counsel for the respondent: --- The Court made the following: Order: This Civil Revision Petition is directed against Order, dated 23-04-2010, in IA.No.289 of 2010 in OS.No.212 of 2006, on the file of the Junior Civil Judge, Banaganapalle, Kurnool District (for short ‘the lower Court’). The petitioner is the sole defendant in the above- mentioned suit filed by the respondent, for recovery of money on the foot of a promissory note. After the trial was commenced and the evidence of the respondent/plaintiff was closed and when the case was posted for his evidence, the petitioner filed the above IA for sending the suit pronote to the hand writing expert in order to ascertain whether the petitioner has signed on the said pronote in the year 2001 or 2004. The lower Court, after considering the rival pleas of the parties, held that the plea raised by the petitioner/defendant that he has executed a blank promissory note, which was filled up by the plaintiff’s husband later, can be decided by the Court on the basis of the evidence to be produced by the petitioner during trial. Another reason for the lower Court’s disinclination to accept the petitioner’s prayer was that the application was belated. I am in entire agreement with the latter reason given by the Court below because if the petitioner had pursued the litigation bona fide, he should have filed the application much earlier without waiting for commencement of the trial and closing of the respondent/plaintiff’s evidence. The conduct of the petitioner discloses that the application was intended only to procrastinate the suit proceedings and that the same lacked bona fides. For the above-mentioned reasons, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Civil Revision Petition, CMP.No.3037 of 2010, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous.
