ORDER

¶21

Challenging the impugned docket order dated 19.03.2024 passed in O.S.No. 1013 of 2023 by the learned XVIII Additional Judge, XVIII Additional Court, Chennai, the Revision Petitioner/1^st defendant preferred this Civil Revision Petition.

¶22

Before the trial court, the Revision Petitioner/1^st defendant remained exparte vide docket order dated 15.09.2023. Based on that, the trial judge examined P.W.1 and Ex.A1 to Ex.A6 were marked. After setting aside the exparte order, the 1^st defendant raised objections with regard to marking of Ex.A1 and A2 said to be unregistered lease agreement. Beyond the period of 11 months, it requires valid registration, but the trial judge has made observation stating that if at all, any document requires registration, the same would be considered subsequently. Accordingly, the case was proceeded further. The observation made by the trial judge to that effect is now under challenge. But, on seeing the facts, it reveals that P.W.1 was cross-examined by the 1^st defendant and the case is posted for defendant side evidence. As per the contention of 2^nd defendant, he is only a formal party and he claimed that he was not signatory of the alleged second lease agreement.

¶26

On considering all those submissions, the fact reveals that P.W.1 was cross-examined and the case was posted for defendants side evidence. In respect of Ex.A1 and A2, whether it requires registration or not would be decided at the time of submission of his evidence. Therefore, liberty is granted to the 1^st defendant to raise his submissions at the time of argument. As he completed the cross-examination of P.W.1, the relief claimed in the revision as such became infructuous. With the aforesaid observation, this Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected civil miscellaneous petition is closed.
