(Petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India praying this Court against the fair and decreetal order made in I.A.No.153 of 2005 in O.S.No.219 of 2004 dated 7.7.2005 on the file of the District Munsif, Chingleput.)

The civil revision arises out of an order passed by the District Munsif Court, Chengalpattu, allowing an application filed by defendants 3 to 6 for transposing them as plaintiffs in the suit, in the wake of an attempt on the part of the plaintiffs to withdraw their suit.

2. In view of the fact that the scope of the dispute involved in the revision is limited, I have taken up the civil revision petition itself for final disposal, with the consent of all the parties, though only the petition for stay was posted for hearing today.

3. I heard Mrs. Uma Ramanathan, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner, Mr.P.Subba Reddy, learned Counsel for the respondents 1 to 4 and Mr.M.Devendran, learned Counsel for the 5th respondent. The other respondents have not chosen to enter appearance, despite service of notice on them.

4. The facts leading to the present revision, as they emerge from the pleadings of the parties before the trial court are as follows
