O R D E R The above Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition is filed by the petitioner for transfer of O.S.No.3 of 2017 from the file of the Mahila Court, Karur to the file of the Principal District Court, Karur or any other competent Court.

¶2The petitioner is the first defendant in O.S.No.3 of 2017 on the file of the Mahila Court, Karur. The said suit was filed by the respondents 1 and 2 herein for the relief of specific performance and for permanent injunction.

¶3According to the petitioner, though the petitioner/first defendant has filed her Written Statement in the year 2010, the suit is kept pending for many years without commencement of trial and without any progress. The suit was made over by the Principal District Court to the Mahila Court at Karur.

¶4It is submitted that the learned Mahila Court Judge is periodically adjourning the matter once in two months due to the pendency of many cases relating to the offences against women. It is further submitted that the Principal District Court ought not to have made over the above case to the Page No. 2 of 4 Mahila Court, Karur as per the direction of this Court in Roc.No. 68177/2019/G4.

¶5The petitioner also sent a representation dated 06.06.2023 to the learned Principal District Judge and also to the Registrar of this Court with a request to transfer the case from the Mahila Court, Karur to the Principal District Court, Karur. However, the said representation is still pending before the learned Principal District Judge without any consideration. Hence, the petitioner was constrained to file the above Transfer Civil Miscellaneous Petition for transfer of case from the Mahila Court to the Principal District Court, Karur.

¶6On perusal of the records and considering the fact that the suit is kept pending for more than 13 years and no inclination is shown by the learned Mahila Court Judge, Karur to dispose the matter early and considering the fact that the learned Principal District Judge, Karur has not considered the representation of the petitioner, this Court directs the learned Principal District Judge, Karur to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner on

06.06.2023, as early as possible, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Page No. 3 of 4
