of 2019, which reads as follows:

¶19

" 4. The petitioner requests this court for early disposal of the HMOP. Since the petitioner has paid the amount upto May 2019 and undertakes to pay the balance amount, within a period of two weeks, the order passed by the learned Judge is set aside and the matter is remanded back and considering the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into consideration the HMOP is of the year 2015, ends of justice would be met, if the learned Judge is directed to dispose of the HMOP within a time frame.

¶20

In the result,

¶21

i) this Civil Revision is disposed of on the above terms

¶22

ii) the learned Additional Subordinate Court, Tenkasi is directed to dispose of HMOP No.64 of 2015 within a period of four (4) months from the date of copy of this order by conducting the trial on day to day basis without unnecessary adjournments to either parties and the parties are directed to give their fullest cooperation for disposal in above case. No costs.

¶23

Even though four months time had lapsed and that within the period of four months there was an interim order, no further proceedings will be made, taking note of the submission of both parties and that this court has already fixed a time limit, this court is inclined to transfer H.M.O.P. No.64 of 2015 pending on the file of Principal Subordinate Court, Tenkasi to Principal Subordinate Court, Mayiladuthurai, where two other matters are pending and the parties, who are likely to appear or instruct the counsel therein, this court is inclined to transfer the matter and that the petitioner herein submitted that in the next hearing, she will complete the cross-examination of PW1, without seeking any adjournment. Taking note of the fact that the respondent herein is a doctor, the petitioner herein shall not try to drag on the proceedings and make the appearance of the respondent unnecessarily before the court for the purpose of completion of the proceedings to bring the issue to the logical end. The respondent herein will appear before the Principal Subordinate Court, Mayiladuthuri on 27.1.2020 on which date, the cross-examination, shall be conducted by the petitioner herein without any further delay.
