Page 2 of 3. (rupees twenty-five thousand) from the learned counsel for the petitioner. 6. Therefore, this CMAPL is taken up for hearing. 7. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the Opposite Party No.5. 8. This CMAPL filed by the petitioner (who was the appellant in RSA No.317 of 2009), praying for restoration of the 2nd appeal vide RSA No.317 of 2009, which was dismissed for non-removal of defects shown by the Registry. 9. When, the 2nd appeal vide RSA No.317 of 2009 was dismissed prior to its admission only for the non- removal of the defects and when, the appellant in RSA No.317 of 2009 being the petitioner in this CMAPL is eagerly interested for the fair hearing of the 2nd appeal vide RSA No.317 of 2009 and when, it has been clarified by the Apex Court in the ratio of the decision reported in 2007 Vol-10 SCC-82 : Sumiti Bai and others vrs. Paras Finance Co. and others. “The Civil Procedure Code is really rules of natural justice, which are set out in great and elaborate detail. Its purpose is to enable both parties to get hearing” and in this case at hand, when both the parties are interested for hearing of the 2nd appeal vide RSA No.317 of 2009, (which has been dismissed for default of the appellant on dated 26.04.2019) and when the
Page 3 of 3. object of the C.P.C. is to enable both the parties to get a hearing on merit, for no other reason, but, in order to void the multiplicity of litigations between the parties, then, by taking the above propositions of law into account, I found no justification to disallow the CMAPL filed on behalf of the petitioner under Order- 41, Rule-19 of the C.P.C., 1908. 10. Hence, this CMAPL filed by the petitioner is allowed. 11. The order of dismissal of the 2nd appeal vide RSA No.317 of 2009 passed on dated 26.04.2019 is set aside. 12. Due to setting aside of the dismissal order dated 26.04.2019 passed in RSA No.317 of 2009, the 2nd appeal is to be relegated to the position, as it was prior to its dismissal on dated 26.04.2019. 13. As such, this CMAPL is disposed of finally.
