ORDER

¶17

The Revision Petition is filed by the plaintiff in O.S.No.324 of 2007 on the file of the Additional District Munsif Court, Karur.

¶18

2.The order challenged is one rejecting an application for appointment of a Commissioner to inspect the suit survey field and measure the same with the help of a qualified Surveyor to find out how much extent is available in the suit survey filed.

¶19

3.A reading of the prayer in the petition itself would demonstrate that such a petition cannot be maintained in a suit for partition. The only question that is to be determined in a suit for partition is regarding the quantum of share. The availability or otherwise of the suit property need not be or shall not be gone into at the preliminary decree stage. Those questions can be decided only at the time of final decree. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

¶22

4.Considering the nature and scope of the suit, I am convinced that this petition for appointment of Advocate Commissioner for the purposes stated above is beyond the scope of the suit and therefore, I do not find any material irregularity or illegality in the order passed by the trial Court dismissing the application. The Civil Revision Petition, therefore, fails and accordingly it is dismissed. No costs.
