Case No. 93 of 1984 restoring the plaintiffs suit which was dismissed for default on 19-6-1984 for none appearance of either of the parties when Original Suit No. 35 of 1978 for partition was called on for hearing.

2. Upon dismissal of the suit, the plaintiff filed an application under Order 9, Rule 9 of the CPC for restoration of the suit, Labelling of the application as one under Order 9, Rule 9-, CPC, was misconceived since neither party appeared when the suit was celled on for hearing. The dismissal was under Order 9, Rule 3 CPC. Hence, the application for restoration should have been labelled as one under Order 9, Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure, On the evidence led, the trial Court restored the suit subject to ' payment of cost by the plaintiff to the contesting defendant No. 1.
