Petition, in E.P.No.40 of 2012. At such point of time, the revision petitioner/judgement debtor taken out two interlocutory applications, viz., I.A.No.8801 and 8802 of 2017, one for condonation of delay in filing the Interlocutory Application to set aside the exparte decree passed against him and another to stay the execution proceedings in E.P.No.40 of 2012. Both the interlocutory applications were dismissed by the Court below. Challenging the order passed in the application for condonation of delay in

¶20

I.A.No.8801 of 2017, the present Civil Revision Petition was filed by the revision petitioner/ judgment-debtor.

¶21

2. The Civil Revision Petition was filed in the year 2017. It is manifest from the records that the matter came up for first hearing on 02.01.2018. Subsequently, it was listed on 08.01.2018, on which date, at

¶22

the request of the learned counsel for the respondent, the matter was adjourned by four weeks. Thereafter, the matter was listed on 17.07.2018.

¶23

On the said date, this Court passed an order, directing the Trial Court to proceed with the case in accordance with law, without waiting for the result

¶24

of this Civil Revision Petition and the copy of the order was also directed to

be communicated to the Court below. Thereafter, the matter is listed today (02.09.2021) under the caption “Adjourned Admission”. When the matter is taken up for hearing, none appeared on behalf of the revision petitioner. Thus, it appears that the learned counsel for the revision petitioner is not interested in prosecuting the case and his only intention is to protract the execution proceedings by not allowing the plaintiff/decree holder to relish

¶29

the fruits of the decree. This Court is not inclined to keep the matter pending and encourage such sort of dilactory tactics to be adopted by the counsel in contesting the matter.

¶30

3. In the result, this Civil Revision Petition is dismissed for non prosecution. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs.
