                     PRAYER: Civil Miscellaneous Petition filed under Section 5 of Limitation
                     Act, r/w 151 of C.P.C, to condone the delay of 172 days delay in filing the
                     Civil Revision Petition in C.R.P.(MD) SR.No.71442 of 2024.


                     PRAYER in C.R.P(MD) SR.No.71442 of 2024: Civil Revision Petition filed
                     under Section 115 of Civil Procedure Code, as against the fair and decreetal
                     order passed in E.A.No.3 of 2023 in E.P.No.15 of 2022 in O.S.No.368 of
                     2019, dated 02.12.2023 on the file of the Sub Court, Melur.


                     In both petitions:

                                             For Petitioner            : Mr.S.A.Ajmalkhan

                                             For Respondent            : Mr.M.Karuppasamy

                                                    COMMONORDER

The decree holder in O.S.No.368 of 2019 has filed both the revision

petitions, challenging the order dated 02.12.2023, wherein, the trial Court has

permitted the judgment debtor to deposit the decree amount.

2. A perusal of the records reveal that the suit has been filed for

recovery of money based upon a mortgage deed. A preliminary decree and a

final decree were passed. The property was brought to court auction. Before

the auction could be conducted, the judgment debtor has filed an application

to set aside the ex parte order and to stay all further proceedings. The

Executing Court has passed an order directing the judgment debtor to deposit

the auction amount.

3. The judgment debtor has filed an application to review the order, to

the effect that instead of the auction amount she is willing to deposit the

decreetal amount and the said review has been allowed. Challenging the

same, the present Civil Revision Petition in C.R.P(MD) SR.No.71442 of 2024

has been filed.

4. The Execution Court has also granted stay of further proceedings in

view of the deposit of the decreetal amount. Challenging the same, another

Civil Revision Petition in C.R.P(MD) SR.No.71443 of 2024 has been filed.

5. From the facts captured above it is clear that before the confirmation

of sale, the judgment debtor in a mortgage suit had deposited the decreetal

amount. However, it is the grievance of the decree holder that the entire

decree amount along with interest has not been deposited. The decree holder

is at liberty to raise such an objection before the executing Court.

6. With the above said observations, both the Civil Revision Petitions

stand disposed of in the condone delay stage itself and the Civil

Miscellaneous Petitions are also disposed of. The decree holder is entitled to

withdraw the amount deposited by the judgment debtor. There shall be no

order as to costs.
