2 CRP.No.610 of 2024
ORDER: This revision petition is filed under Section 115 of CPC against the order dated 16.02.2024 in E.A.No.15/2024 in E.A.No.308/2011 in E.P.No.74/2011 in O.S.No.197/2008 on the file of IV Additional Junior Civil Judge at Vijayawada, Krishna District, filed under Section 151 CPC to reopen the evidence of the petitioner to receive the affidavits of PWs.3 and 4. The case of the petitioner is briefly as follows:
02. The petition in execution was posted to 09.01.2024 for evidence of the petitioner. But, on that day she could not contact her advocate to give instructions to file chief affidavits of further witnesses. A revision petition in CRP.No.2514 of 2014 was also filed by the one of the objector Somula Venkateaswara Reddy and the same was dismissed on 13.09.2023, as he could not contact his advocate before High Court for giving instructions to file the evidence of PWs.3 and 4. When the petitioner contacted the counsel, he came to know about the proceedings. Hence, the petition in E.A.No. 15/2024 is filed to reopen the evidence to enable the petitioner to adduce further evidence by examination of attesters of the will dated 06.02.1998. The 1^‘ respondent filed counter opposing the petition contending that JDrs.4 & 5/respondents No.6 and 7 expressly stated in their written statement in O.S.No.158/1999 on the file of the Court of Principal Senior Civil Judge, Vijayawada that Velagapudi Venkateswara Rao, {whose will sought to be proved) died intestate and no document had been executed by him, much less the alleged unregistered will dated 06.02.1998, and the same was recorded in the judgment and decree in that suit and therefore, the alleged will is fabricated document pressed
03. 3 CRP.No.610 of 2024 into service for the purpose of the claim. Further, one of the objector Somula Venkateaswara Reddy filed C.R.P.No.2514 of 2014 before this High Court and the same was dismissed in view of the pleadings in the written statement in O.S.No.158/1999. As such, there are no genuine grounds in filing the present petition. Accepting the contention of the 1®* respondent, the petition was dismissed by the execution Court. Aggrieved by the order, this revision petition was filed by the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended the same as before the execution Court. The respondents No.3 to 13 are shown as not necessary parties.
The learned counsel for the respondents No.1 and 2 opposed the petition supporting the observations of the execution Court. 04. In reply, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the application, which is the subject matter in the revision petition in C.R.P.No.2514/2014 was filed to examine the attester as court witness, whereas the present petition is filed to examine the witness as witness for the petitioner, not as a court witness and therefore, the proceedings in C.R.P. No.2514/2014 are not res judicata. 05. Though the relief in the present petition and the previous petition in respect of C.R.P.No.2514/2014 are different, a similar point is canvassed on the same ground that the observations and findings regarding the plea taken in the written statement in the suit in O.S.No. 158/1999. The execution Court has rightly appreciated the
contentions on both sides and therefore, the order impugned in the revision petition does not require any interference.
06. In result, the revision petition is dismissed. There shall be no
order as to costs.
07.
4 CRP.No.610 of 2024 Interim orders granted earlier, if any, shall stand vacated. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
