¶15

The respondent has filed suit O.S.No.166 of 2011 for

¶16

specific performance in the aforesaid suit.

¶17

When the matter is taken up for trial, the plaintiff side

¶18

evidence was closed and the defendant side witness was examined. The respondent herein has filed the application in I.A.No.327 of 2015 under

¶19

Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act, and 151 CPC to send the documents for getting expert opinion, the said application was allowed. Challenging the said order passed by the court below, the revision

¶20

petitioner has filed the present Civil Revision Petition before this Court.

¶21

According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the

¶22

petitioner has raised the objection that the said application is not maintainable on the ground that the said application has been filed

¶23

belatedly. Without considering the merits of the case, the court below has passed a non-speaking order. Hence, the order passed by the court

¶24

below is liable to be set aside.

¶26

¶27

The learned counsel for the respondent would submit that

¶28

the contention of the petitioner has been disputed, but, the counsel for the respondent is not in a position to dispute the fact that the said order passed by the trial court is reasoned and detailed order.

¶29

On perusal of the order passed by the court below, this

¶30

court has come to a conclusion that the order passed by the trial court is

¶31

non-speaking and without any reasons and therefore, in the interest of

¶32

justice, I am inclined to pass the following order.

¶33

i) The impugned order in I.A.No.327 of 2015 in O.S.No.166 of

¶34

2011 passed by the Sub-Court, Pollachi dated 07.12.2016 is hereby set aside and remanded to the trial court to consider the case afresh and pass the reasoned order.

¶35

ii) Both parties are undertaking before this Court, they would cooperate to dispose the application before the trial court.

¶36

iii) The trial court is directed to dispose of the said application within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

It is needless to say that the trial court has to decide the

matter afresh, without being influenced any observation made in the
order.

allowed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is
closed.
