JUSTICE ANANT RAMANATH HEGDE) This petition is filed assailing the order dated 19.07.2024 rejecting the petitioners’ application to review the order admitting the insufficiently stamped document without impounding the same. 2. It is noticed that the suit for specific performance was initially decreed and the defendants filed an appeal on the premise that it is an ex-parte decree. Appeal was allowed and the matter is remitted to the Trial Court permitting the defendants to contest the matter. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners/defendants submits that the document was marked earlier when the defendant remained ex-parte and he filed an application to recall the order admitting the document on the premise that the document is not sufficiently stamped. 4. The Trial Court has rejected the petition for review on the premise that the document is already marked and the - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:15565 WP No. 106211 of 2024 contention relating to the non-registration of the document is also properly addressed by the Trial Court. 5. This Court does not find any error to interfere with the said order of the Trial Court in rejecting the review petition. 6. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. 7. It is made clear that this order should not be construed as having opined on the proof of the agreement. Sd/- (ANANT RAMANATH HEGDE) JUDGE CLK CT:BCK LIST NO.: 1 SL NO.: 41
