ORDER

This civil revision petition is directed against the order passed by the learned District Munsif, Paramakudi, in I.A.No.1 of 2024 in RLTOP No.1 of 2023 dated 08.04.2024. The said petition is filed under Section 40(2) of the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017 to dismiss RLTOP on the ground that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction. The contention of the petitioners is that there is no written agreement and in the absence of the written agreement, the RLTOP is not maintainable. The Trial Court dismissed the petition on the ground that the said question can also be considered at the time of trial.
