THESE PETITIONS, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE H.T. NARENDRA PRASAD ORAL ORDER In these writ petitions, the petitioners have called in question the order dated 20.06.2022 passed on IA No.1 in S.C.No.270/2021 by the XXI Additional Small Causes Judge and ACMM, Bengaluru, orders both dated 14.03.2022 on IA in S.C.Nos.273/2021 and 272/2021, respectively, by the XXIII Additional Small Causes Judge and ACMM, Bengaluru, whereby the IAs. filed under Section 10 of CPC for staying the proceedings in S.C.Nos.270/2021, 273/2021 and 272/2021, respectively were dismissed. 2. The plaintiffs filed suits for ejectment. After appearance, defendants have filed the written statement. - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:7283 WP No. 11201 of 2024 C/W WP No. 11133 of 2024 WP No. 11177 of 2024 When the matters were posted for evidence, at that stage, petitioners/defendants filed applications under Section 10 of CPC for stay of the proceedings in S.C.Nos.270/2021, 273/2021 and 272/2021, respectively, on the ground that the petitioners/defendants filed P.Misc.No.10/2020 and since that matter is pending, they sought for stay of the same. S.C.Nos.270/2021, 273/2021 and 272/2021 are pending before the Small Causes Court. The Small Causes Court, by orders dated 20.06.2022 and 14.03.2022, respectively, dismissed the applications on the ground that the relief sought by the parties in P.Misc.No.10/2020 and S.C.Nos.270/2021, 273/2021 and 272/2021 are not similar. 3. After a lapse of more than two years, these writ petitions have been filed. After hearing the parties, the matter is now posted for judgment. There is a delay of two years in filing the writ petitions, challenging the order passed by the Small Causes Court under Section 10 of CPC, that too, when the matter is posted for judgment. - 6 - NC: 2025:KHC:7283 WP No. 11201 of 2024 C/W WP No. 11133 of 2024 WP No. 11177 of 2024 Hence, this Court decline to interfere into the order passed by the Small Causes Court. 4. There is no illegality or error in the order passed by the trial court. Hence, the writ petitions are dismissed. In view of dismissal of the main petitions, all pending applications stand disposed of. Sd/- (H.T. NARENDRA PRASAD) JUDGE CM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 45
