Therefore, the revision is not maintainable while the appeal is pending.

ORDERB. Sudershan Reddy, J. 1. Heard. By the impugned decree, the lower appellate Court dismissed the appeal as not maintainable on the ground that two applications filed by the appellants herein under Order IX, Rule 13 CPC for setting aside the ex parte decree and another application for condonation of delay were rejected by the trial Court.
