O R D E R

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the materials available on record.

2.The petitioner is the auction purchaser. Pursuant to the bid, the petitioner deposited 25% of the bid amount. However, he was unable to pay the balance amount within the stipulated time. The application seeking extension of time to deposit the remaining sale consideration was dismissed, and the same was affirmed by this Court, granting liberty to the petitioner to seek refund of the 25% deposited, after deducting expenses.

3.The petitioner thereafter filed E.A.No.1 of 2025 seeking payment out. However, in view of an error in reflecting the nature of the bank account, the petitioner has filed E.A.No.4 of 2025 seeking amendment to reflect the correct bank details so as to enable effective payment out orders to be passed. The grievance of the petitioner is that the said application has been pending for nearly one year without any orders being passed. This Court, while disposing of C.R.P.No.4771 of 2024 dated 25.11.2024, directed the exercise relating to payment out to be completed within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of that order.

4.In the light of the earlier order and in order to ensure expeditious disposal of the payment out application, this Court is inclined to direct the learned XXV Assistant Judge, City Civil Court, Chennai, to pass final orders in E.A.No.4 of 2025 on or before 31.03.2026.

5.In the result, this Civil Revision Petition is allowed as indicated above. No costs.
