JUDGMENT
Ashok Menon, J.
This Original Petition is filed challenging Ext.P5 order allowing I.A.No.6 of 2021 in O.P. Nos.694 of 2017 and 695 of 2017 on the files of the Family Court, Ottappalam setting aside the ex-parte order earlier passed by the Court under Order IX Rule 7 CPC with the condition that the ex-parte
order against the respondent dated 22.03.2021 shall be set aside on deposit
of Rs.23,015/- within fifteen days. The applicant has challenged that order
stating that it is unreasonable. On going through the impugned order, the learned Judge has made it clear that the respondent herein and her child came from Mumbai to attend the Court by spending the amount of
Rs.23,015/- as flight charges. Under the said circumstances, the order
appears to be very reasonable and there is no reason for any interference with the impugned order. The Original Petition is, therefore, disposed. The applicant is directed to pay the amount of Rs.23,015/- within a period of two weeks.
