The appeal suit in A.S.No.106 of 2013 filed against the said judgment and decree dated 31.10.2013 in O.S.No.206 of 2007 by defendant Nos.1 and 2 was dismissed vide judgment and decree dated 31.01.2014 in A.S.No.106 of 2013 passed by the I Additional District Judge, Khammam. Aggrieved by the same, defendant Nos.1 and 2 have preferred S.A.No.161 of 2014 before this Court along with an application in SAMP.No.416 of 2014 seeking stay of all further proceedings. In the said application in SAMP.No.416 of 2014 in S.A.No.161 of 2014, initially this Court granted status quo order and subsequently it was vacated vide order dated 25.09.2014. Challenging the said order dated 25.09.2014 in SAMP.No.416 of 2014 in S.A.No.161 of 2014, defendant Nos.1 and 2 have preferred SLP (Civil) No.28100 of 2014 before the Supreme Court and the same was dismissed vide order dated 15.12.2014.

When E.P.No.10 of 2016 came up for enquiry, vide the impugned docket order dated 27.02.2018 the Executing Court noted the proceedings as under: "PW.1 is present and he is sworn in for the purpose of continuation of cross-examination. Cross-examination:- No representation for Government Pleader upto 03.19 p.m. J.Dr.No.3 to 5 called absent. Further cross-examination of PW.1 by Government Pleader for J.Dr.No.3 to 5 is closed. At this stage the counsel for J.Dr.No.2 represented that he may be permitted to cross-examine PW.1. The D.Hr. seeks relief against J.Drs.3 to 5 only. No relief is sought for against J.Dr.No.2. Though the counsel for J.Dr.2 filed Vakalat and counter I am of the view J.Dr.2 is all entitle to cross-examine PW.1. The relief sought for in the petition is as follows: Hence the D.Hr./Plaintiff prayed that the Hon'ble Court may be pleased to necessary to send the J.Drs/Defendants No.3 to 5 by detention in the civil prison and attachment of their property under Order 21 Rule 32 of Civil Procedure Code (Act V of 1908) 1908 in the interest of justice. By mere filing vakalat and counter the J.Dr.No.2 cannot get right of cross-examine this witness. As such the Court refused to permit the counsel for J.Dr.2 to cross-examine this witness." Aggrieved by the said docket order, the petitioner/defendant No.2 has preferred this Civil Revision Petition. ;
