Judgment :- 1. This petition is filed against the fair and decretal order dated 6.8.2009 passed by the Sub Court, Tambaram in I.A.No. 26 of 2009 in O.S.No.242 of 2006. 2. Plaintiff is the revision petitioner. Challenging the order passed by the Court below in I.A.No. 26 of 2009 condoning the delay of 205 days in filing the petition to set aside the exparte decree. 3. The Court below, considering the age of the respondent-lady and the plea of ill-health and also taking note of the short period of delay in filing the application, condoned the delay and allowed the application on payment of cost of Rs.1000/-. 4. In this case, the suit is for specific performance of contract. At the time when the suit was decreed exparte, the main reason for passing the exparte decree is that the failure on the part of the defendant in filing the written statement and that defect has been rectified and the written statement was filed on 23.6.2008. The court below considering the plea taken by the respondent/ defendant and the objection made by the revision petitioner/ plaintiff, has thought it fit to condone the delay of 205 days taking note of the age of the defendant and the plea of ill-health. Normally, this Court would not interfere with the exercise of discretion of the Court below unless it is totally perverse or irrational. 5. In such view of the matter, considering the facts and circumstances of this Court, there is no reason to find fault with the order of the Court below in exercising the discretion and allowing the application, which has been filed showing sufficient cause. 6. In the result, finding no merits, this civil revision petition is dismissed. The trial Court is directed to dispose of the pending interlocutory application expeditiously preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
