The Petitioners in this CMP seek to assail the orders dated 4th September, 2017 and 8th November, 2017 (Annexure-8 series) passed by learned 1st Additional Senior Civil Judge, Balasore in C.S. No. 702 of 2013 respectively, whereby an application filed by the Plaintiffs-Opposite Party Nos.1 to 3 under Order XVIII Rule 1 C.P.C. has been allowed and the application filed by them to recall the order dated 4th September, 2017 has been dismissed directing the Petitioners to begin the trial.

Mr. Mishra, learned counsel for the Opposite Parties submits that pursuant to the impugned orders, the Petitioners have examined one witness and he has been discharged and the matter is posted for further evidence on behalf of Defendants. 5.

Mr. Mohanty, learned counsel for the Petitioners does not dispute the same.

Since the orders impugned herein have already been implemented and the Petitioners have led evidence pursuant to the same, this Court feels that no fruitful purpose will be served by interfering with the impugned orders.
