statutory remedy of filing a revision as per the proviso of Section 115 of CPC and in view of the statutory remedy of revision, the present petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is not liable to be entertained.

4. The learned counsel for the Petitioner has relied upon the judgment of this Court in Pooja Aggarwal v. Sakata Inx (India) Ltd. dated 02.09.2008 in CM(M) No. 1669/2007 to contend that the High Court in the said judgment had entertained a petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India in similar circumstances whereby an application under Order XII Rule 6 of the CPC was dismissed and challenged in the said petition.
