THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO CALL FOR THE
ENTIRE RECORDS PERTAINING TO THE PROCEEDINGS IN MIS.
PET.NO.07/2018 FROM THE FILE OF THE LEARNED SENIOR

ORAL ORDER
The present petition is filed challenging the order dated 17.07.2026, whereby Misc. P. No.7/2018 came to be dismissed for failure to take steps for service of notice on some of the respondents.
2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that all the parties upon whom notice was ordered had been duly served and were represented by learned counsel. Insofar as the other respondents are concerned, they had been placed ex parte. 2.1 It is contended that the Trial Court, without taking note of the same, proceeded on an erroneous assumption that the petitioner had failed to take steps for service of notice and, consequently, dismissed the petition.
3. Per contra, learned counsel appearing for the caveator/respondent supports the impugned order.
4. Perused the impugned order passed by the Trial Court. The order sheet evidences the appearance of learned counsel
HC-KAR
for some of the parties. However, there is no noting in the order sheet indicating that notice was ordered to be issued to any of the respondents in respect of whom steps are stated to have not been taken by the petitioner. In the absence of any such noting or finding, the impugned order is without any basis. This Court is, therefore, inclined to entertain the present writ petition.
5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, if any steps are required to be taken for service of notice on any of the respondents, the petitioner undertakes to take such necessary steps within a reasonable time.
6. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. The order dated 17.07.2026 is set aside. Misc. P. No.7/2018 pending on the file of the I Additional Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Devanahalli, is hereby restored to the file of the Trial Court.
