2. Since no adverse order is going to be passed against the respondents,

notice to them is dispensed with.

3. The difficulty that is expressed by the petitioner is that a First Appeal is

preferred against the judgment and decree of the learned Sub Judge, Periyakulam

dated 29.03.2023 passed in O.S.No.16 of 2015. Now, the very same learned

Judge is sitting in the vacation Court at Theni and the first appeal is being posted

before the very same learned Judge. Hence, the learned Judge is not inclined to

take up the case. However, it is brought to notice of this Court that in the same

vacation Court, another learned Judge is sitting, who is taking up criminal work.

The case in first appeal may be posted before the said learned Judge.

4. Considering the difficulty expressed by the learned counsel appearing

for the petitioner, the learned Judge, who is taking up the criminal work at Theni,

is directed to take up the First Appeal mentioned above, process the same in

accordance with law and hear it on 17.05.2023.

closed.
