ORDER

This revision has been filed seeking to strike off the plaint in O.S.No.36 of 2021 pending on the file of the Principal Subordinate Court, Coimbatore.

In this regard, the learned Senior Counsel would invite my attention to an earlier suit filed in O.S.No.1407 of 2015. The said suit was filed by the 20^th defendant in the present suit for partition. However, an application in I.A.No.269 of 2016 was taken out by
