15. Per contra learned Counsel appearing rn behalf of respondent/ pLaintlff/ DHr rvould submit that thLe revision petitioner/ dei'endant/JDr has been protracting the litigation by [iling one application after the other, thereby clcprirring the plaintiff/ DI-Ir from enjoying the fruits of the decre e obtaine d by him and the underlying interlocutory application s one of such naturc.
