Prayer:

Civil Revision Petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India seeking a direction for expeditious disposal of the Proceedings in EP No.28 of 2021 in O.S.No.13 of 2003 on the file of I Additional District Judge at Tiruppur.

ORDER

Heard Mr.P.Valliappan, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioner.

2. The revision petitioner is the decree holder, who seeks expeditious disposal of E.P.No.28 of 2021 in O.S.No.13 of 2003.

3. Learned Senior Counsel would bring to my notice that the decree was passed in the year 2005 and what remains is only execution of sale deed and there is no impediment for the executing court to proceed with the execution petition and dispose of the same on merits.

4. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has time and again held that the execution petition should not be kept in cold storage and should be disposed of preferably within six months. In the present case, the decree was passed in the year 2005 and the petitioner has been kept waiting for more than two decades.

5. In the light of the above, I am inclined to entertain the civil revision petition by dispensing with notice to the respondent as this order will not in any way prejudice the rights of the respondent. The executing Court viz., I Additional District Court, Tiruppur shall expedite the proceedings in E.P.No.28 of 2021 in O.S.No.13 of 2003 and dispose of the same on merits by 31.03.2026.

6. With the above direction, the civil revision petition is allowed. No costs.
