JUSTICE YARENJUNGLA LONGKUMER ORDER 02/04/2025 This is an appeal under Order 43 Rule 1 (r) of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908, challenging the Impugned Order dated 27.11.2024 passed by the Learned Court of Civil Judge (Senior Division), Seppa, East Kameng in Civil Miscellaneous Case No. 09/2024 arising out of Title Suit No. 03/2024. 2. Heard learned counsel for the appellant, Mr. Takam Sunil. Learned counsel for the appellant has a limited prayer in this appeal stating that he is aggrieved by the Impugned Order dated 27.11.2024, which is at Annexure-5 of the appeal memo wherein, the Learned Trial Court Records has passed the ex-parte order of injunction without hearing the appellant. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel that in the previous Order dated 21.11.2024 at Annexure-2 of the appeal memo, the Learned Trial Court Records had admitted the case for hearing and fixed 27.11.2024 for appearance of the respondents. While issuing the said order the Learned Trial Court had directed the plaintiff to take steps on the respondents by dasti service and also allowed the plaintiff to serve notice through electronic means to the defendants. However, learned counsel states that no such dasti service was taken by the plaintiff and only some whatsapp messages were sent by a certain person name Tara Nabam, who is neither plaintiff nor the party in the suit. Page No.# 6/7 4. Accordingly, the appellant was not aware of the fixing of the matter on 27.11.2024 and thereby, the Miscellaneous Case was heard in his absence. Learned counsel therefore, prays that the Impugned Order may be quashed and set aside and the Learned Trial Court may be directed to hear the Civil Miscellaneous Case No. 09/2024 afresh after hearing both the parties. 5. Learned counsel, Mr. Mudang Opo appears for the sole respondent and he has no objections to the prayer made by the appellant in the present case. 6. In view of the above facts and circumstances this appeal is allowed. The Order dated 27.11.2024 passed in Civil Miscellaneous Case No. 09/2024 arising out of Title Suit No.03/2024 before the Learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Seppa, East Kameng District is quashed and set aside. The matter is remanded back to the Learned Trial Court to hear the matter afresh after hearing both the parties. 7. The Learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Seppa, is directed to list the Civil Miscellaneous Case No. 09/2024 before the Court on 23rd April, 2025, and both the parties shall appear before the Learned Trial Court on the fixed date. Matter is disposed. Registry shall send a copy of this Order to the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Seppa, East Kameng. Page No.# 7/7 JUDGE Comparing Assistant
