------------------------------------------------- Original Petition (Civil) No.2882 OF 2014 ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of January, 2015.
J U D G M E N T
This original petition is directed against Ext.P5 order dated 29.10.2010 passed by the 2nd Additional Sub Court, Kozhikode in I.A.No.4414/2010 in O.S.No.622/2008.
2. The petitioners were defendants in the suit. They were set at ex parte. They filed I.A.No.2626/2010 to set aside the ex parte order. That application was dismissed for default. They then filed I.A.No.4414/2010 to restore I.A.No.2626/2010. That petition also happened to be dismissed by the court below. They assail the order in I.A.No.4414/2010 before this Court.
3. Today, when the matter was taken up for hearing, this Court is given to understand that the suit itself has been decreed ex parte.
4. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners have filed a petition to set aside the ex parte decree.
O.P.(C) No.2882/2014
5. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent points out that it is not discernible from the petition as to when the petition to set aside the ex parte decree has been filed.
6. The only prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the petition said to have been filed for setting aside the ex parte decree may be directed to be considered by the court below untrammelled by the observations in Exts.P3 and P5 whereby two applications are earlier dismissed. Of course, it is unnecessary to say so. But, in order to safeguard the interest of the petitioners, it is directed that if the petitioners had filed a petition to set aside the ex parte decree, that petition will be disposed of in accordance with law untrammelled by the observations contained in Exts.P3 and P5 orders.
This original petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- P.BHAVADASAN JUDGE smp
