C.R.P.(P.D).No.3638 of 2022

Prayer:- Civil Revision Petition is filed under Article 227 of the

Constitution of India, to set aside the order dated 08.08.2022 passed by the

Trial Court in Unnumbered IP.No. of 2022 in CFR.No. 3744 of 2022 on the

file of the Principal Subordinate Court, Krishnagiri, and consequently direct

the registry of the Principal Subordinate Court, Krishnagiri, to number the

petition in IP.No. of 2022 in CFR.No.3744 of 2022 on the file of the

Principal Subordinate Court, Krishnagiri.

For Petitioner

: Mr.C.Jagadish

ORDER

The Civil Revision Petition has been instituted to set aside the order

dated 08.08.2022, passed in un-numbered IP of 2022, in CFR no.3744 of 2022.

2. The revision petitioner filed an Insolvency Petition on the file of

the Principal Subordinate Court, Krishnagiri. The grievance of the writ

petitioner is that even before numbering the Insolvency Petition and without

affording opportunity to the writ petitioner to establish his insolvency status,

the Principal Subordinate Court rejected the Insolvency Petition which was

un-numbered. The learned counsel for the petitioner relied on the judgement of

this Court in the case of Selvaraj Vs. Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant
