Present:    Mr.Padam Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner

                               *****

S.D.ANAND, J.

The judgment debtor is in revision against the impugned order

dated 19.2.2009 vide which the objections filed by him on 24.5.2008 were

rejected.

The copy of the objection petition is available on record as

Annexure P-2. It is apparent therefrom that a civil suit came to be decreed

exparte (in favour of decree holder-respondent and against the judgment

debtor-objector), vide judgment and decree dated 12.2.2008. It was only

much later that the petitioner-objector filed a plea for the setting aside of

the impugned exparte judgment and decree. In the present application

Annexure P-2, the petitioner-objector applied for the dismissal of the

execution, with costs thereof, on the plea that the exparte proceedings

against him had been invalidly ordered and that the petitioner-decree

holder had not been properly served to appear at the trial.

The learned counsel for the petitioner is not in a position to

deny that the application under Order 9 Rule 13 C.P.C. for the setting aside

of the impugned judgment and decree stands rejected and an appeal filed

by the petitioner-judgment debtor is pending consideration of the learned

District Court. It is not even the plea that any stay application had been

filed in the appeal pending before the learned District Court.

In the light thereof, the prayer made by the petitioner-objector

for dismissal of the execution application could just not have been allowed

by the learned Executing Court.

Dismissed in limine.
