ORDER

¶18

The revision petitioner is the plaintiff who seeks expeditious

¶19

disposal of the suit in O.S.No.4 of 2023 on the file of the learned I II Additional District Judge, Tirupattur.

¶20

2. Considering the nature of relief sought for by the petitioner in the present revision petition, notice to the respondents is dispensed with.

¶21

3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and I have also gone through the materials placed before this Court.

¶22

4. The major grievance of the petitioner/plaintiff is that the

¶23

plaintiff is a Senior citizen who is aged about 70 years and though the pleadings have been completed way back in the year 2023, till date there is no movement and the trial is not yet completed.
