O.S.492 of 2002 is<\/p>\n<p>a suit for specific performance of an agreement for<\/p>\n<p>sale.  That suit was decreed ex parte on 31.1.2004.<\/p>\n<p>Respondent   thereafter   filed   Ext.P5   petition<\/p>\n<p>(I.A.3304\/2004) on 31.7.2004 to set aside the ex<\/p>\n<p>parte decree under Rule 13 of Order IX of Code of<\/p>\n<p>Civil Procedure contending that respondent did not<\/p>\n<p>receive any summons and came to know about the<\/p>\n<p>decree  only  when   he  returned   back  home   on<\/p>\n<p>30.7.2004.  Ext.P8 (I.A.4257\/2004) was subsequently<\/p>\n<p>filed  on  29.9.2004   under  section   5  of   the<\/p>\n<p>Limitation Act to condone the delay in filing<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P5 application.  Petitioner filed objection to<\/p>\n<p>both the petitions.  Learned Sub Judge allowed the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C)1648\/2007             2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>applications under Exts.P9 and P10 orders.      Under<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P9 order the delay was condoned as follows:-<\/p>\n<pre>           \"Heard.    I.A. Allowed on a\n\n           costs   of  Rs.500\/-.     For\n\n           payment of costs.    Call on\n\n           17.8.2006.\"\n\nOn   19.8.2006    I.A.3304\/2004  was allowed    under\n\nExt.P10 order and the ex parte order         was set\n\naside.      The order reads:-\n\n            \"Costs   remitted.      I.A.\n\n            Allowed.  Ex parte order set\n\n            aside as prayed for.    I.A.\n\n            Closed.\n\n<\/pre>\n<p>Learned counsel appearing for petitioner argued<\/p>\n<p>that     learned   Sub  Judge  did not  consider the<\/p>\n<p>objections filed by the petitioner to both the<\/p>\n<p>petitions       and     question  whether  there  is<\/p>\n<p>sufficient cause to condone the delay in filing<\/p>\n<p>the application or to set aside the ex parte<\/p>\n<p>decree was not considered at all.        It was also<\/p>\n<p>argued      that  I.A.3304\/2004 was  allowed on  the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C)1648\/2007            3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ground that cost was remitted without considering<\/p>\n<p>the question whether there was sufficient cause<\/p>\n<p>for the absence of the respondent when the suit<\/p>\n<p>was decreed ex parte.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.Learned    counsel  appearing  for  respondent<\/p>\n<p>argued that respondent did not receive any summons<\/p>\n<p>and came to know about the proceedings only when<\/p>\n<p>he     returned    back  to   India  and   immediately<\/p>\n<p>petitions were filed and in such circumstance, the<\/p>\n<p>ex parte decree was set aside after condoning the<\/p>\n<p>delay.       Learned counsel appearing for petitioner<\/p>\n<p>submitted       that  Ext.P2  letter   sent   by   the<\/p>\n<p>respondent      to  his  sister-in-law  a   practising<\/p>\n<p>lawyer      which was produced before the Sub Court by<\/p>\n<p>the said sister-in-law        on 15.10.2003 establish<\/p>\n<p>that respondent was aware of the suit and in such<\/p>\n<p>circumstance learned Sub Judge was not justified<\/p>\n<p>in condoning the inordiante delay.<\/p>\n<p>      3. There is force in the submission made by<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel appearing for the          petitioner.<\/p>\n<p>When the ex parte decree is sought to be set aside<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C)1648\/2007             4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>contending       that   respondent\/defendant  did   not<\/p>\n<p>receive the summons and was not aware of the suit<\/p>\n<p>or the decree and petitioner plaintiff resisted<\/p>\n<p>the petition contending that respondent was aware<\/p>\n<p>of the suit and in fact authorised his sister-in-<\/p>\n<p>law to appear on his behalf and she appeared<\/p>\n<p>before      the   court,  learned  Sub  Judge  was  not<\/p>\n<p>justified in setting aside the ex parte decree<\/p>\n<p>without considering these facts.         Ext.P10 order<\/p>\n<p>shows that        learned Sub Judge did not consider<\/p>\n<p>either the sufficiency of the ground stated in the<\/p>\n<p>petition        or  the   objection   raised   by   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner.       Instead petition was seen allowed as<\/p>\n<p>if cost was awarded earlier.       In that application<\/p>\n<p>no cost was awarded. Cost was awarded in the<\/p>\n<p>application       to condone the delay.    Even if the<\/p>\n<p>delay is condoned, court has to satisfy that there<\/p>\n<p>are sufficient grounds to set aside the ex parte<\/p>\n<p>decree.       There was not even an attempt to consider<\/p>\n<p>that question.       Ext.P10 order on the face of it is<\/p>\n<p>not sustainable.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">W.P.(C)1648\/2007             5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      4.        Similarly  Ext.P9  order   shows  that<\/p>\n<p>contention raised by the respondent to condone the<\/p>\n<p>delay or the objection raised by the        petitioner<\/p>\n<p>why     the     delay cannot  be  condoned,  were  not<\/p>\n<p>considered by learned Sub Judge.       Instead without<\/p>\n<p>considering any of the grounds, petition is seen<\/p>\n<p>allowed on terms. Ext.P9 order also bad in law.<\/p>\n<p>      5. Exts.P9 and      P10 orders are quashed.  Sub<\/p>\n<p>Judge,        Thiruvananthapuram   is    directed   to<\/p>\n<p>reconsider       I.A.4257\/2004 and  I.A.3304\/2004  and<\/p>\n<p>pass appropriate order in accordance with law.<\/p>\n<p>      Writ Petition is disposed of as above.<\/p>\n<p>                                   M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR<br \/>\n                                           JUDGE<br \/>\ntpl\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;\n<\/p>\n<p>    W.P.(C).NO. \/06\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>       JUDGMENT<\/p>\n<p>    SEPTEMBER,2006<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Geethakumari N.K. vs R.Jeevan on 7 August, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 1648 of 2007(U) 1.
