Elanchiyam, v. Chandra,

ORDER The petitioners/defendants has filed the present Civil Revision Petition seeking a direction to the learned District Munsif, Thiruvadanai to number I.A.SR.No.1388 of 2018 in O.S.No.56 of 2015.

¶2The learned counsel for the petitioners/would submit that on

18.01.2016, the learned District Munsif, Thiruvadanai passed an exparte Judgment and Decree in O.S.No.56 of 2015. Hence, the petitioners/defendants moved an application for condonation of delay of 968 days. The trial Court, without numbering the said application, returned the same with an endorsement as follows:- "O.S.No.56/2015 was disposed of on 18.01.2016, the same was consignment in II term 2015 D.No.624/16 dated

24.05.2016 to the Principal District Court, Ramnad and E.P. 01/2017 was pending against in O.S.56/2015. Hence, returned. Time 2 weeks."

¶3From the above notings, it is crystal clear that only because of the reason that all the records having been consigned to the Principal District Court, Ramnad, the application seems to have been not numbered. Since the very prayer sought for before this Court is numbering of the application filed under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, this Court, without going into the merits of the matter, is inclined to allow this petition.

¶4In the result, this Civil Revision Petition is allowed. The learned District Munsif, Thiruvadanai is directed to number the said I.A.SR.No. 1388 of 2018 in O.S.No.56 of 2015, if it is represented within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and dispose of the same in accordance with law. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
