32.The DBS Bank Rep by its Manager (Previously Lakshmi Vilas Bank) Salem main Road, Kallakurichi Cusba, Kallakurichi Taluk, Kallakurichi District. ...Respondents in CRP.No.4122 of 2025 Prayer in CRP.No.4119 of 2025:- Civil Revision Petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, to direct the First Additional District Munsif, Kallakurichi to dispose of the O.S.No.164 of 2016 within the time frame. Prayer in CRP.No.4122 of 2025:- Civil Revision Petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, to direct the First Additioinal District Munsif, Kallakurichi to dispose of the O.S.No.164 of 2016 within the time frame. For Petitioners : Mr.N.Manoharan (in both CRPs) COMMON ORDER Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. In view of the limited relief sought for in these revision, notice to the respondents is dispensed with.

¶2The defendants in O.S.No.164 of 2016 have filed the present revision petitions. In C.R.P.No.4119 of 2025, the revision petitioners seek expeditious disposal of O.S.No.164 of 2016, which is pending before the First Additional District Munsif Court, Kallakurichi.

¶3In C.R.P.No.4122 of 2025, the revision petitioners seek expeditious disposal of Tr.O.P.No.16 of 2025, which is pending before the learned Principal District Judge, Kallakurichi.

¶4The suit in O.S.No.164 of 2016 was filed by the respondents as early as in the year 2016, seeking a declaration for various registered documents are null and void, along with other reliefs. The defendants have already filed their written statements, and trial has also commenced. Considering that the suit is of the year 2016 and has remained pending for a considerable period, I am inclined to dispose of these Civil Revision Petitions in the following manner:-

(i) The learned Principal District Judge, Kallakurichi, is directed to take up the enquiry in Tr.O.P. No.16 of 2025 and dispose of the same on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
