1. Heard Ms. Shruti Kandoi, learned
counsel for the petitioner.
2. By this Petition under Article 227 of
the Constitution of India, the petitioner
has challenged the Judgment and decree
dated 27.1.2016 passed by the learned
District Judge-5, Sangli in Regular Civil
Appeal No.197 of 2010. By that order,
the learned District Judge quashed and
set aside the Judgment and decree dated
25.6.2010 passed by the learned II Jt. Civil

2/3 WP/5771/2016
amend written statement and re-cast
issues and permitted the parties to lead
additional evidence and decide the suit
afresh. She submitted that instead of
setting aside the decree, the appellate
court could have directed the trial Court
to record evidence and transmit the
evidence to it for deciding the appeal. In
other words, the District Court should
have exercised powers under Order 41,
Rule 25 of C.P.C. by keeping the appeal
pending and by framing issues and
referring the same to the trial and
recording additional evidence. In short,
she submitted that it was not necessary
to set aside the trial Court's decree.
3. In view of the submissions, issue
notice to the respondents, returnable on
13.10.2016. Notice to indicate that
subject to the time constraint and
convenience of the Court, Petition will be
disposed of finally at the stage of
admission. Notice shall further indicate
that despite service, if the respondents

fail to appear, the Court will proceed to
decide the petition on its own merits.
4. In the meantime, there shall be ad-
interim order in terms of prayer clause
(c). Hamdast permitted.
5. All parties including the trial Court
shall act upon the authenticated copy of
this order.
