ORAL ORDER
Heard Sri.Shivaprasad Shantanagoudar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri.M.Madhusudan, advocate for Sri.V.Viswanathsetty, learned counsel for respondent No.5 as well as Sri. P.S.Babu Narayana, learned counsel for caveator/ respondent No.7.
HC-KAR
2. This petition is filed impugning the order dated 16.07.2026 passed in O.S.No.37/2015 on I.A.No.21/2026, filed under Order III Rule 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (hereinafter referred to as ‘CPC’), seeking permission for the Special Power of Attorney (hereinafter referred to as ‘SPA’) holder to conduct the suit. In view of its earlier order dated 28.03.2019, the Trial Court rejected the said application.
3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, inviting the attention of this Court to Annexures-F and F1, being the memo filed by the Court Commissioner along with the report, submits that the Court Commissioner was appointed for recording the evidence of the plaintiff. It is submitted that, due to the ill- health of petitioner No.2/plaintiff, permission to the SPA holder is necessary in view of the changed circumstances.
4. Sri. V. Vishwanathsetty, learned counsel, undertakes to file vakalath for respondent No.5. Sri. P.S. Babu Narayana, learned counsel, appears for the caveator/respondent No.7. Considering the limited issue involved in the present case, notice to the other respondents is dispensed with.
HC-KAR
5. Considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and the respondents.
6. The Trial Court rejected the application mainly on the basis of its earlier order dated 28.03.2019, whereby an application seeking a similar relief had been rejected. The Trial Court, however, has not considered the changed circumstances necessitating the filing of the present application. Considering that the plaintiff was unable to enter the witness box, the Trial Court had permitted the appointment of a Court Commissioner for recording the evidence of the plaintiff. The Court Commissioner, as per Annexure-F1, has submitted a report stating that petitioner No.2/plaintiff is unable to speak and, therefore, the oath could not be administered to her.
7. The aforesaid compelling changed circumstances, necessitating the filing of the present application, have not been considered by the Trial Court. In view of the report submitted by the Court Commissioner, as per Annexure-F1, the order rejecting the application filed under Order III Rule 2 of
HC-KAR
the CPC cannot be sustained. This Court is, therefore, inclined to entertain the present petition.
8. Accordingly, the following order:
ORDER
i. The petition is allowed; ii. The impugned order dated 16.07.2026 in O.S.No.37/2015, is hereby set aside; iii. I.A.No.21/2026 filed by the plaintiff under Order III Rule 2(a) the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, is hereby allowed.
