ORDERA.M. Sapre, J.1. This is a revision filed under Section 115 of CPC by the plaintiff against the order, dated 16-7-2002, passed by learned Additional District Judge, Sardarpur, District Dhar in Miscellaneous Civil Appeal No. 18 of 2002, which in turn arises out of M.J.C. No. 30 of 1998, decided by Civil Judge, Class I, Sardarpur, on 12-9-2001.2. Plaintiffs suit was dismissed in default. He, therefore, applied for its restoration. It was dismissed. In appeal, the dismissal was upheld and hence, this revision.3. I am inclined to allow the revision and set aside the order of dismissal, dated 4-124996, passed in Civil Suit No. 42-A of 1995. This I do in the light of law laid down by the Supreme Court in the cases of (1993) 3 SCG 256 and AIR 1998 SC 258. It was a case where the plaintiff was not noticed before the suit was dismissed in default. The dismissal of suit was in the absence of a lawyer. These two authorities of the Supreme Court does hold that notice to plaintiff should have ...

Santosh Kumar Vs. Smt. Shanti Bai and anr.

Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Aug-29-2003

Reported in: 2004(2)MPHT32

ORDERA.M. Sapre, 1. Having heard learned Counsel for the applicant and having perused record of the case, I find no merit in the application which seeks to review/ recall the order, dated 2-5-2003, passed by this Court in C.R. No. 938 of 2000.2. In my opinion, when I peruse the impugned order in the context of the challenge laid in the review application, I do not find any ground much less ground contemplated under Order 47 Rule 1 of CPC so as to recall the order. The only difference that I could notice in the matter is that original matter (Revision) was argued by one lawyer and review was argued by different lawyer.3. This Court has taken into account those facts which were urged and dealt with the learned Trial Judge out of which revision arose and then rendered a finding on those issues which were actually urged by the applicant who was represented by a lawyer. It is a reasoned order and takes into account the issues urged and taken,4. A wrong finding is no ground to see review. Eq...
