V.C.P. PERIAKATHAN Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The Appellant/Plaintiff has filed this instant Second Appeal before this Court as against the Judgment and Decree dated 12/2/2007 in A.S.No.212 of 2006 passed by the Learned First Additional Sub-Judge, Madurai in affirming the Order dated 28/12/2005 of the Learned District Munsif, Melur in rejecting the plaint in O.S.(SR) No.7009 of 2005.

(2.) The First Appellate Court, viz., the Learned First Additional Sub- Judge, Madurai, in dismissing A.S.No.212 of 2006 filed by the Appellant/Plaintiff on 12/2/2007 in the judgment has among other things observed that even on 16/11/2005, the Appellant/Plaintiff has known what is the Court fee charges to be paid. But has not paid the same and further, has also not filed an application as per Section 149 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Also when the trial Court has returned the plaint and that the defects in full have been rectified and filed the same, it cannot be said that the Judgment and Decree of the trial Court are not proper. Moreover, the rejection of plaint made by the trial Court as per the Judgment of the Honourable High Court is a legal one and no interference is called for and resultantly, dismissed the Appeal with costs.

(3.) Earlier, the Learned District Munsif, Melur in O.S.(SR) No.7009 of 2005 has passed an order on 28/12/2005 in rejecting the plaint filed by the Appellant/Plaintiff by inter alia observing that the Appellant/Plaintiff has not projected an application as per Section 149 of the Code of Civil Procedure praying permission of the Court to pay the deficit Court fee and in the absence of said application being filed the plaint filed by paying the appropriate Court fee with a delay is not proper and consequently, rejected the plaint.
