RAM BAHADUR SINGH Vs. SHEO NATH SINGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS revision is directed against an order dismissing an insolvency petition filed by a creditor. The petition was dismissed on the ground that costs were not paid. It appears that on 4th February 1978 the petitioning creditor applied for adjournment on the ground that his counsel was busy elsewhere. The Insolvency court granted adjournment subject to payment of Rs. 16/- as costs by the next date. The next date fixed in the case was 25th February 1978. On that date when the case was taken up, the petitioning creditor's counsel made an offer to . pay the cost but the Insolvency court refused to accept it. On the other hand, it dismissed the petition with costs.

(2.) AGGRIEVED, the petitioning creditor has come to this Court in revision.
