O R D E R

Today, the matter is listed under the caption "for being mentioned" at the instance of the learned Counsel for the petitioner. 2.The learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that this Court while allowing the above Civil Revision Petition, vide order, dated 06.02.2026 had imposed cost upon the petitioner, however, in the order, it has not been mentioned to whom the cost has to be paid. Hence, he seeks for necessary orders from this Court.

3.Considering the submissions made by the learned Counsel for the petitioner, paragraph 4 of the order, dated 06.02.2026, is modified as follows: "4.When an application is filed for condonation of delay, particularly in respect of delay in representation, the Court is required to examine only the reasons assigned for such delay. Imposing a condition directing deposit of 50% of the decree amount is highly onerous one. Therefore, the order passed by the trial Court

is set aside. Instead of directing deposit of 50% of the decree amount, this Court is inclined to impose a cost of Rs.10,000/- on the revision petitioner and the delay stands condoned subject to payment of the said cost. The petitioner shall pay the cost of Rs. 10,000/- to the credit of High Court Legal Services Committee, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs." 4.Registry is directed to carry out necessary corrections and issue fresh amended order copy to the parties concerned.
