Petitioner<\/p>\n<p>filed the said suits for realization of money under two work contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Respondents did appear in court but did not file written statements and hence<\/p>\n<p>were set exparte on 16.01.2010. Cases were posted to 16.02.2010 for payment<\/p>\n<p>of balance court fee. In the meantime respondents filed I.A.Nos.531 of 2010 and<\/p>\n<p>532 of 2010 to set aside the exparte orders against them.               On 16.02.2010<\/p>\n<p>petitioner sought time for payment of balance court fee. Learned Sub Judge<\/p>\n<p>dismissed I.A.Nos.531 of 2010 and 532 of 2010 the same day and for the reason<\/p>\n<p>of non-payment of balance court fee the plaints were rejected. Petitioner with<\/p>\n<p>the hope that he will be able to resurrect the cases filed I.A.Nos.1047 of 2010<\/p>\n<p>and 1046 of 2010 respectively stating reasons for non-payment of balance court<\/p>\n<p>fee on or before 16.02.2010. Learned Sub Judge passed the following order on<\/p>\n<p>the said applications<\/p>\n<p>                     &#8220;There is no apparent error on the face of the<\/p>\n<p>              order to review it. Hence dismissed.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned counsel for petitioner contends that petitioner had         in the affidavits in<\/p>\n<p>support of applications stated circumstances under which he could not pay<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) Nos.19665 &amp; 19666\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>balance court fee before 16.02.2010 but without application of mind learned Sub<\/p>\n<p>Judge has dismissed the said applications. For the purpose of disposal of these<\/p>\n<p>Writ Petitions I have heard learned Government Pleader who took notice for<\/p>\n<p>respondents though, as revealed from the records respondents have been set<\/p>\n<p>exparte by the learned Sub Judge and that order remain in force.<\/p>\n<p>       2.      Question is whether learned Sub Judge was correct in dismissing<\/p>\n<p>the applications for review. As I stated, those applications are dismissed by a<\/p>\n<p>non-speaking order stating that there is no error apparent on the face of order.<\/p>\n<p>It is not clear whether the learned Sub Judge has adverted to the reasons stated<\/p>\n<p>by petitioner in paragraph No.3 of the affidavits in support of the applications for<\/p>\n<p>review. I have gone through the affidavits of petitioner where reason is stated.<\/p>\n<p>According to the petitioner, following the exparte order against the respondent on<\/p>\n<p>16.02.2010 the case was posted on 16.02.2010 for payment of balance court<\/p>\n<p>fee but before that day learned Government Pleader appearing for respondent<\/p>\n<p>in the court below served on counsel for petitioner a copy of application to set<\/p>\n<p>aside the exparte order and petitioner, under the impression that the said<\/p>\n<p>application is coming up for hearing on 16.02.2010 did not raise the balance<\/p>\n<p>court fee. During the roll call on 16.02.2010 it was revealed that applications<\/p>\n<p>filed by the respondent were held up due to some defect. Thereon counsel for<\/p>\n<p>petitioner requested learned Sub Judge to grant some time for payment of<\/p>\n<p>balance court fee. Learned Sub Judge kept the matter aside probably awaiting<\/p>\n<p>arrival of applications filed by the respondent after curing defects. During the<\/p>\n<p>afternoon session counsel for petitioner got information that applications<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) Nos.19665 &amp; 19666\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>preferred by the respondent were dismissed and the plaints also were rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, petitioner sought for review of the order.\n<\/p>\n<p>       3.    No doubt, there may not be any error apparent on the face of<\/p>\n<p>record so far as the order rejecting plaints is concerned. Order 47 Rule 1 of the<\/p>\n<p>Code of Civil Procedure (for short, &#8220;the Code&#8221;) provides for review on other<\/p>\n<p>grounds also. Ofcourse each case should be decided on the facts of that case.<\/p>\n<p>When a plaint is rejected for non-payment of balance court fee, an application for<\/p>\n<p>review is permissible. Going through the affidavit of petitioner I am satisfied that<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has shown sufficient reason for non-payment of balance court fee on<\/p>\n<p>the day specified. I do not find reason to think that having claimed a huge<\/p>\n<p>amount from the respondent on the strength of work contract             admittedly<\/p>\n<p>entrusted to the petitioner and his having paid 1\/10th of the court fee payable at<\/p>\n<p>the time of filing of the plaint in both the cases, he would refuse to pay the<\/p>\n<p>balance court fee within the time specified and invite a dismissal of the suits by<\/p>\n<p>which he would not stand to gain. These aspects were not considered by the<\/p>\n<p>leaned Sub Judge. Having regard to the facts and circumstances placed before<\/p>\n<p>me I am inclined to hold that learned Sub Judge was not justified in dismissing<\/p>\n<p>the applications for review.    Petitioners   ought to have       been    given an<\/p>\n<p>opportunity to resurrect the plaints which were rejected for non-payment of<\/p>\n<p>balance court fee.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Resultantly these Writ Petitions are allowed setting aside the orders on<\/p>\n<p>I.A.No.1047 in O.S.No.338 of 2009 and I.A.No.1046 of 2010 in O.S.No.339 of<\/p>\n<p>2009 passed by learned Principal Sub Judge, Kollam. Those applications are<\/p>\n<p>WP(C) Nos.19665 &amp; 19666\/2010<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>allowed. Petitioner in both the cases will get three weeks time from this day for<\/p>\n<p>payment of balance court fee on the plaint in both the cases. Petitioner shall<\/p>\n<p>appear in the court below on 16.07.2010.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                               THOMAS P.JOSEPH,<br \/>\n                                                       Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>cks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court M.Abdul Muthalif vs State Of Kerala on 25 June, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 19666 of 2010(O) 1.
