Shanmuga Sundari v. Sankara Avudaiyammal

ORDER The Civil Revision Petition has been filed seeking a direction to dispose of the suit in O.S.No.207 of 2022, pending on the file of the Sub Court, Thiruchendur, within a specified time fixed by this Court.

¶2I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the revision petitioner. Since the revision petition is filed for early disposal of the case, the issuance of notice to the respondents is not necessary.

¶3The revision petitioner as plaintiff has filed the suit in O.S.No. 207 of 2022, claiming partition.

¶4The learned counsel appearing for the revision petitioner would submit that since the respondents/defendants are in possession and enjoyment of the property, they are clearly intended to prolong and drag on the suit proceedings, that the revision petitioner is a widow and having a daughter at the age of 26 years, who is not yet married because of the financial condition, that the outcome of the suit can be used by the revision petitioner to support her daughter's marriage and that therefore, the trial has to be expedited.

¶5The fact remains that the suit was filed only in the year 2022. The High Court has already issued circulars to the District Judiciary, directing the Courts to give priority for the cases relating to Senior Citizens, HIV affected persons, Defence Personnel, Women and Children, more than 5 year old cases etc., It is to be noted that the revision petitioner, without approaching the trial Court, has directly come forward with the present Revision Petition before this Court, seeking early disposal. In the absence of total pendency particulars and the work burden of that particular Court, this Court is not inclined to give any direction to dispose of the case within a specified period of time.

¶6However, the trial Court is required to give priority to the cases, as per the Circulars of the High Court. The revision petitioner is at liberty to approach the trial Court and if such requisition for early disposal of the case is made, the learned trial Judge is required to consider the urgency for early trial, in the light of the circulars issued by this Court.

¶7With the above observation and direction, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. No costs.
