The appellant herein has filed the suit in O.S.Nos.8521/2018 against the respondent/defendant and the said suit was dismissed on 30.11.2019. Thereafter, the defendant has filed review petition in Misc.No.1117/2019 under Order XLVII read with Section 114 of CPC, with a prayer to review one sentence in the judgment of the Trial 1hereinafter referred to as ‘the Trial Court’ for short - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:36981 MFA No. 4130 of 2020 Court found at paragraph Nos.9 and 10. The Trial Court in the suit has allowed the said review petition in Misc. No.1117/2019 and passed the following order: “Petition is allowed. The line ‘The plaintiff being a member of the society is going against the preamble of the Memorandum of Association of the defendant society’ found at Para No.10 is deleted.” 4. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that before passing the order under review petition in Misc. No.1117/2019 on the guise of reviewing the order, no notice was issued to the respondent (appellant herein) under the review petition in Misc. No.1117/2019. Therefore, prays to allow the appeal by setting aside the order passed in the above stated Misc. Petition. 5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent/plaintiff justified the order passed in Misc. Petition and prays to dismiss the appeal. 6. The suit was dismissed on 30.11.2019. Thereafter, when the Misc. Petition is filed under Order - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:36981 MFA No. 4130 of 2020 XLVII read with Section 114 of CPC for reviewing the order, the Trial Court ought to have issued notice to the other side i.e., respondent in Misc. petition, but the record shows that in the review petition in Misc. No.1117/2019, notice was not served on the respondent in Misc. Petition. 7. The appellant/plaintiff has produced a certified copy of the order sheet passed under review petition in Misc. No.1117/2019, which proves the fact that the Trial Court, before passing the order under review petition in Misc.No.1117/2019 has not issued any notice to the other side; the order was reviewed and accordingly allowed the review petition in Misc. No.1117/2019 and deleted the sentence found at paragraph Nos.9 and 10. Therefore, the impugned order passed without issuing notice to the other side i.e., the respondent in Misc. No.1117/2019. Thus, the impugned order passed in the review petition in Misc. No.1117/2019is liable to be set aside and the matter is remanded to the Trial Court for fresh disposal to consider - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:36981 MFA No. 4130 of 2020 the review petition in Misc. No.1117/2019 in accordance with law after issuing notice to the other party. 8. In the result, I proceed to pass the following: ORDER i. The appeal is allowed. ii.
