Anil K.Narendran, J.
The appellant is the 1st defendant in O.S.No.14 of 2011
on the file of the Sub Court, Neyyatinkara, which was one filed by the 3rd respondent herein-plaintiff for recovery of an amount of Rs.2,00,000/- on the strength of a cheque alleged to have been issued by the appellant. Other consequential reliefs were also sought for. In that suit, the appellant was set ex parte and an ex parte decree was also passed. Seeking an
order to set aside that ex parte decree, appellant filed
R.P.No.58 of 2018 along with I.A.No.59 of 2018 for condonation of delay of 856 days. Those applications ended in dismissal by the order dated 02.12.2021, which is under challenge in this appeal filed invoking the provisions under
Order XLIII Rule 1(d) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
2. This appeal is filed along with C.M.Application No.2
of 2023 for condonation of delay of 253 days. On 12.01.2023, when this matter came up for consideration, this Court ordered notice to the respondents in that C.M. Application.
3. Today, when this matter is taken up for
consideration, the learned counsel for the appellant-1 st defendant would submit that the matter has already been settled between the parties and as such, the appellant do not want to prosecute this appeal further . Recording the above submission made by the learned counsel for the appellant-1st defendant, this appeal is dismissed. ANIL K. NARENDRAN, JUDGE P.G. AJITHKUMAR, JUDGE PV
