THIS MFA IS FILED U/O 43 RULE 1 (a) OF CPC, AGAINST THE ORDER DATED 13.02.2015 PASSED ON I.A.NO.1 IN O.S.NO.9312/2014 ON THE FILE OF THE IX ADDITIONAL CITY CIVIL AND SESSIONS JUDGE, BANGALORE, RETURNING THE PLAIN TO THE PLAINTIFF TO BE PRESENTED BEFORE THE COURT IN WHICH THE SUIT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTITUTED.

THIS MFA COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, THE COURT DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

12 M.F.A.No.2879/2015

J U D G M E N T

H.G.RAMESH, J. (Oral):

1. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant again prays for time to pay process fee etc. to issue notice to the respondents.

2. I find no justification to grant further time for the following reasons:

On 22.4.2015, this appeal had come up for admission and on that day, this Court had ordered emergent notice to the respondents and also granted interim stay. The order reads as follows:

“Issue emergent notice to all the respondents. Stay of the impugned order insofar as it relates to the direction to return the plaint to present it before the proper court for a period of twelve weeks.”

As the appellant’s counsel did not pay process fee etc. to issue notice to the respondents, the appeal was listed before the Registrar (Judicial) for orders on 06.07.2015.

On that day, counsel for the appellant prayed for a week’s time to do the needful and accordingly, a week’s time was granted. Till date, appellant’s counsel has not done the needful to issue notice to the respondents. Today, it is 13 M.F.A.No.2879/2015 listed again for orders regarding furnishing of process fee etc. to issue notice to the respondents.

3. As could be seen from the above, the appellant’s counsel has not paid process fee etc. to issue notice to the respondents, in spite of granting time twice. I find no ground to grant any further time. The appeal is accordingly dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.
