:ORDER
This revision is directed against the order passed by the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Theni at Periyakulam in I.A.No.209 of 2013 in MCOP.No.4 of 2006.
2. The petitioner is the first respondent in M.C.O.P.No.4 of 2006. The respondent 1 to 5 herein filed the claim petition, claiming a compensation of Rs.7,00,000/-. The petitioner was set exparte and an exparte award was passed on 04.06.2010. Subsequently, he filed an application in I.A.No.209 of 2013 to condone the delay of 175 days in filing the application to set aside the exparte decree. Since the application is dismissed, the present revision has been filed.
3. Heard both side and perused the records.
4. It is seen from the records that the respondents 1 to 5 filed the claim petition in the year 2006, for the death of the husband of the first claimant and father of other claimants, in a motorcycle accident took place on 09.07.2005. Despite service of notice, the petitioner did not choose to participate in the proceedings. The Tribunal having found that the petitioner has not shown sufficient cause to condone the delay, dismissed the application.
5. Taking into consideration of these undisputed facts, I do not find any irregularity or illegality in the order impugned. In the result, this Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No Costs.
To Additional District and Sessions Court, Theni at Periyakulam..
