ORDER
Heard Mr.T.S.Baskaran, learned counsel for the revision petitioner.
2. The revision petitioner is the landlord who has been successful in obtaining an order of eviction in RCOP.No.125 of 1999. The said eviction order was challenged by the respondent in RCA.No.1422 of 2003 and the said appeal was dismissed on 10.04.2014. The matter attained finality.
3. The revision petitioner, however, had to go back to the appellate authority to correct certain clerical errors and an amended decree was issued only on 05.04.2017 and immediately thereafter, the papers were represented on 22.12.2017, which is well within the period of limitation. Considering that the amended judgment and decree came to be issued only on 05.04.2017, without noticing the same, the Executing Court has dismissed the execution petition on the ground of delay, that too, in representing the execution petition. The Executing Court ought to have seen that since the delay was primarily on the ground that there was clerical error that had to be corrected only by the Registry and therefore, such delay cannot be put against the landlord.
4. For the above reasons, I am inclined to set aside the order passed by the
CRP No. 5527 of 2026
Executing Court insofar as the respondent is concerned. It is strange the respondent/tenant, against whom, the petitioner/landlord wants to recover possession remains unserved and notice sent through Court as well as privately have returned with endorsement ‘left and vacated’. Therefore, it only shows that the tenant is not interest in defending his possession, even though he had suffered concurrent orders of eviction before the Rent Controller as well as the Rent Control Appellate Authority.
5. Even though the notice remains unserved on the respondent, for the foregoing reasons, I am inclined to dispense with further notice of hearing of the above revision to the respondent. The Civil Revision Petition is allowed. The Executing Court shall number the E.P. without putting any delay against the petitioner and dispose of the same on or before 31.01.2027 in accordance with law. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 29-09-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No vsi
