ORDER

The petitioners/plaintiffs have come forward with this revision

invoking the superintending jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227

of the Constitution of India for an early disposal of the suit in O.S.No.

109 of 2019 filed by them on the file of the District and Sessions Judge,

Thoothukudi, Thoothukudi District.

2. According to the revision petitioner, the suit is of the year 2019.

From the very beginning of the institution of the suit, the intention of the

respondent is only to drag on the proceedings and also he is attempting to

make encumbrances over the said property. If the said act of the

respondent is allowed to be continued, the petitioners would be seriously

prejudiced. However, without any improvement, the said suit is lying

before the Court below for more than three years. Further, there will not

be any prejudice caused to the respondent, if time has been fixed to

dispose the above suit. Hence, he prays to direct the trial Judge to

conclude the case within a time frame.
