Judicial proceedings must allow parties a fair opportunity to present evidence; dismissals without such opportunities contravene justice.

This Civil Revision Petition is filed under section 115 of C.P.C against the order dated 25.04.2025 dismissing E.P.No.145 of 2023 in O.S.No.22 of 2021 on the file of Principal Junior Civil Judge, (Junior Division) at Adoni filed under Order 21 rule 32(1) CPC to order arrest of judgment debtors No.1 to 5 for disobedience of the decree for permanent injunction and send them to civil prison.

2. The revision petitioners/decree holders contended that judgment debtors No.1 to 5 are intentionally interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of D.Hrs over land to an extent of Ac.1.83 cents in survey No.147 of Kosigi village, Kurnool district and trying to damage the standing crop in BSB, J C.R.P.No.1369 of2025 that property. On receipt of notices, judgment debtors failed to appear before the execution Court. Hence, they were set exparte.

3. The D.Hrs filed E.A.No.277 of 2024 seeking police aid. The petition was not pressed on 21.04.2025. On the same day the execution Court heard the counsel for the D.Hrs and posted the matter ‘for orders’

on 25.04.2025. The execution petition was dismissed on 25.04.2025 holding that the decree holders failed to adduce any evidence to prove their contentions. Aggrieved by the same, this revision petition was filed.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the execution Court had not given opportunity to lead evidence, but dismissed the petition as though evidence was not lead by the decree holders.

He further submitted that in view of the decision of the Supreme Court in Periyammal (Dead) Thr.

Lrs. and others Vs., V.Rajamani and Anr.,^ which directed the disposal of the execution petitions within six (06) months, the execution petition was dismissed without providing adequate opportunity, solely on the ground that the execution petition was filed in the year 2023.

5. Since the petitioner was not given chance to lead evidence but the petition was dismissed on the ground of want of evidence, it is a fit case to interfere with the impugned order.

• revision petition is allowed and the order dated
