THE HON' BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM
C.R.P. No. 2847 of 2019
ORDER :
This Revision is filed against the order dated 17.10.2019 in I.A. No. 1705 of 2019 in I.A.No. 921 of 2019 in A.S. No. 98 of 2019 on the file of the III Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Courts, Hyderabad.
The above said Application was taken out by the petitioner / appellant to modify the interim order dated 10.07.2019 granted in I.A.No. 921 of 2019, whereunder stay of judgmental and decree in O.S.No. 803 of 2015, dated 22.03.2019 passed by the VII Junior Civil Judge, City Civil Courts was granted while directing the appellant to deposit the arrears of rent up to the filing of the said Application within two months, in default, the stay should stand vacated.
The principal ground on which the order under Revision is challenged is, while the petitioner had sought review / modification of the order in I.A.No. 921 of 2019, whereunder he was directed to deposit the arrears of rent, further relief was granted by adding conditions while dismissing the review.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the learned Judge had exceeded the jurisdiction in that review and granted the relief which otherwise not sought for by the respondent. The learned counsel submits that the judgment and decree was an ex parte judgment and decree and the Appeal itself could have been disposed of by the learned Judge by remanding the matter to the trial Court for consideration on merits.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent asserted that the conditional order was made by the learned Judge keeping in view the judgment and decree passed and the same cannot be found fault. In that view of the matter, the learned counsel submits that direction to deposit arrears of rent ought to have been reviewed.
A perusal of the order impugned discloses that while the order made on 10.07.2019 in I.A.No. 921 of 2019 was only to deposit the arrears of rent up to the filing of the Application, within two months, now, a further direction was issued to continue to deposit the monthly admitted amount till the disposal of the Appeal with a default clause. While there was no permission granted in I.A.No. 921 of 2019, to withdraw the amounts deposited, without there being a prayer in the review, such permission was also granted.
Clearly the order impugned to the extent of directing the petitioner to deposit the admitted rent of Rs.12,000/- till the disposal of the Appeal and permitting withdrawal of the same being excess of the review jurisdiction, the order under review is set aside to the extent of the additions made contrary to the order dated 10.07.2019 in I.A.No. 921 of 2019. At this stage, the learned counsel for the petitioner prays for extension of time for complying with the order in I.A.No. 921 of 2019. 30 days' time is granted.
The Civil Revision Petition is accordingly, allowed. No costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall stand closed.
