When the matter is taken up for hearing today, the learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the Decree holder/respondent herein has filed various execution petitions against the Judgment Debtors/petitioners herein for execution of various Awards passed by the Deputy Registrar of Chits, Chennai. However, the Judgment Debtors/petitioners herein have filed various appeals before the Principal Secretary, Commercial Taxes and Registration Department along with stay petitions against the Execution Petitions filed by the Decree holder. However, the Trial Court without considering the appeals filed by the Judgment Debtors/petitioners herein, dismissed the petitioners’ stay petitions. Hence, these Civil Revision Petitions have been filed.
