For Petitioner

: Mr.P.Samuel Gunasingh

O R D E R

This petition has been filed to direct the learned Principal

District Munsif, Dindigul to dispose of RLTOP No.4 of 2022, within the

time frame fixed by this Court.

2.The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner is a landlord

and the respondents are the tenants through oral contract on 03.04.2021

and fixed a sum of Rs.15,000/- as monthly rent. Since the respondents

failed to pay the rent promptly, the petitioner filed R.L.T.O.P.No.4 of

2022 as against the respondents, under Section 21 (1) and (2.A) of the

Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and

C.R.P(MD)No.1695 of 2022

Tenants Act, 2017, before the Rent Control Court/Principal District

Munsif Court, Dindigul.

3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits

that R.L.T.O.P.No.4 of 2021 was filed on 03.07.2021 and the same has to

be decided within a period of 90 days of filing of the application, as per

Section 34 (6) (a) of the said Act. The grievance of the petitioner is that

the application filed by the petitioner is still kept pending without any

progress. Therefore, the petitioner has come up with this present Civil

Revision Petition for early disposal of R.L.T.O.P.No.4 of 2022.

4.This Court considered the submissions of the learned

counsel for the petitioner and also perused the materials placed on

record. Since no adverse order is going to be passed as against the

respondent, notice to them is dispensed with.

5.Admittedly, the petitioner is a landlord and the respondents

are the tenants. Since the respondents are not prompt in payment of rent

to the petitioner, he filed R.L.T.O.P.No.4 of 2022 as against the

respondents, under Section 21 (1) and (2.A) of the Tamil Nadu

Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act,

2017, before the Rent Control Court/Principal District Munsif Court,

Dindigul.

6.As per Section 34 (6) (a), the application has to be decided

within a period of 90 days from the date of filing of the application. For

better appreciation, the above Section is extracted as under:-

Section 34: Jurisdication of Rent Court;-

(6)(a) All applications under clauses (a), (b), (c), (e),(f) and

(h) of sub section (2) of Section 21 shall be decided within

90 days of filing of application to the Rent Court;

provisions under the Act, there shall be a direction to the learned
