He
further invited my attention to the judgment of
the Kerala High Court in case of Brijitha vs
Kuttiyamma [2012 DGLS(AHC) 7999] and submitted
that in an appeal u/S.96(2) of the Code against
an ex parte judgment and decree appellate court
cannot consider the question whether appellant
was prevented by sufficient cause from not
appearing in the trial on the day of trial.
Oriental Aroma Chemical Indus.Ltd vs Gujarat Indisl.Devt.Corp.& Anr on 26 February, 2010
15. The learned Counsel for the applicants has
placed reliance on the judgment of the Supreme
Court in case Oriental Aroma Chemical Industries
Ltd. (supra) and submits that the respondent No.
1 has not approached the District Court with
clean hands and, there is inordinate delay of
nine years and eleven months in filing the
appeal. Therefore, this Court may allow the
revision application. It is true that in the
given case, the delay of few days in absence of
sufficient cause cannot be condoned. However,
if sufficient cause is disclosed in the
application for condonation of delay, in that
case, the Court can always exercise discretion
and condone delay. In the facts of the present
case, I do not think that the respondent has not
approached the Court with clean hands. The

respondent No.1 has disclosed all the relevant
facts before the appellate Court and also before
this Court. The District Court, upon

address of respondent No.1 mentioned in the suit

limitation specified therefor. Therefore, upon
conjoint reading of the provisions and procedure
for filing the appeal, and an application for
condonation of delay, it is abundantly clear
that there is no any condition laid down under
Order 41 Rule 3A of the Code that whenever
application is filed for condonation of delay,
the
appellant cannot take a ground of non
service of summons in the application for
condonation of delay. The judgment of the Madhya
Pradesh High Court in case of Nagar Palika Nigam
Gwalior (supra) and that of Kerala High Court in
case of Brijitha vs Kuttiyamma (supra) are not
binding upon this Court. Apart from that, the
judgment of the Madhya Pradesh High Court is
prior to the amendment in Code of Civil
Procedure.
Mahesh Yadav & Anr vs Rajeshwar Singh & Ors on 16 December, 2008
Therefore, the
Supreme Court in case of Mahesh Yadav and anr
(supra), in para 15 has clearly laid down that
the defendants may have more than one remedies
to challenge the ex parte decree including
filing an appeal. Therefore, the submissions of
the learned Counsel for the applicants that the
respondent No.1 should have filed an application
under order 9 Rule 13 of the Code and not an
appeal under Section 96 of the C.P.C., needs no
consideration in view of the fact that the
respondent No.1 has choice to file appeal. When
the appeal is filed, there is a remedy for
filing an application for condonation of delay,
if appeal is barred by limitation. If the
appellant can take the grounds available to him
in order to disclose sufficient cause for not

filing appeal within the period of limitation,
he can certainly take a ground of non service of
suit summons.
M. L. Sethi vs R. P. Kapur on 19 July, 1972
appreciation of the evidence in the revisional
jurisdiction and the view taken by the appellate
Court is a possible view and therefore, in
revisional jurisdiction, the said view needs no
interference. He also invited my attention to
the judgment of this Court in case of Ramesh
Madhavrao Shelke vs Bhaskar s/o Seetaram Pradhan
[2010(O) BCI 274] and in particular, para 9
thereof, the judgment in case of Shri M.L. Sethi

v/s Ajit Prasad Tarway, Manager (Purchase and
