Civil decree
Dear Sirs
I have signed a blank 20 rs stamp paper as my father asked me to do it for disposing off a land, this document eventually got in to hands of his business partner as they stole certain documents along with partnership deed.
We have issued a lawyer notice in this regard and also published the theft in newspaper in 2012.
Now the subject person who has this instrument has tempered it and made a promising note implicating me as debtor for 45 lacs and sent a lawyer notice in 2013, for which we have replied, post that I got a court notice asking me to state reason for not executing civil decree, this is the only time I got to know that a case is filed and has reached the stage of expartie, I have immediately filed petitions for delay condone for 366 days, showing my temporary transfer orders and subsequent posting in other divisions to back by delay condone and another petition for set a side EP.
We have also submitted earlier lawyer notice issued by us in case of theft of brief case consisting of the subject stamp paper along with other documents.
Though I have valid grounds the judge , who is now arrested and barred from service on charges of corruption has dismissed petition for delay condone , judgement on set aside petition is still pending and is due for hearing on 1/4/19.
In this scenario, request your good selves to kindly advise whether I can approach high court for obtaining delay condone and also stay on EP PROCEEDINGS.
