Petitioner :- Brijesh Kumar And Others
Respondent :- Smt. Uma Baluja And Others

Petitioner Counsel :- K.S. Chauhan
Hon’ble Krishna Murari, J.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners.

Suit was filed by the plaintiff­petitioners seeking declaration of sale 

deed dated 15.03.1985/23.03.1985 as null and void having been 

executed  by   some  imposter.  In   response   to   the   summons   and 

notices, the respondents put in appearance. However, vide order 

dated 05.10.2005 since none appeared on their behalf, the suit 

was  directed to proceed  ex  parte.  Subsequently,  an  application 

under Order IX Rule 7 C.P.C. was filed to recall the said order. 

The application was allowed on payment of Rs.400/­ as cost. The 

plaintiff­petitioners went up in revision, which was also dismissed. 

The order was sought to be recalled by the defendant­respondents 

on the ground that by the time when the case was called out, he 

went to call his counsel and by the time he could reach, the order 

had already been passed.

The   ground   mentioned   in   the   application   to   recall   the   order   to 

proceed ex parte appears to be reasonable and sufficient and no 

illegality has been committed by trial court in recalling the same. 

The   revision   challenging   the   said   order   has   also   rightly   been 

dismissed.

The writ petition being totally devoid of merit stands dismissed.
