Madras High Court (Madurai Bench), K. Kumaresh Babu J. — Common order dated 17.10.2025 disposing of C.R.P(MD)No.124 of 2025 (filed under Article 227 of Constitution of India) and C.R.P(MD)No.2865 of 2025 (filed under Section 115 of Civil Procedure Code), both brought by tenant Mohamed Saleema against landlord Meeran Mydeen. The first petition challenged the order dated 25.10.2024 in RLTA No.15 of 2024 (III Additional District Court, Tirunelveli) confirming the eviction order dated 04.12.2023 in RLTOP No.2 of 2023 (I Additional District Munsif Court, Tirunelveli); the second challenged the order dated 09.09.2025 in E.P.No.10 of 2024 in R.L.T.O.P.No.2 of 2023 (Principal District Munsif Court, Tirunelveli). On the petitioner's undertaking affidavit seeking one year to vacate, and because the petitioner runs a rice shop on the premises, the Court granted time to vacate and hand over possession on or before 31.05.2026, kept the execution order in abeyance till then conditioned on continued payment of rent, and closed the petitions and connected miscellaneous petitions (C.M.P(MD)Nos.777 and 16507 of 2025) with no order as to costs.

The petitioner shall vacate and hand over the premises on or before 31.05.2026. Till the said period, the order made in E.P.No.10 of 2024 shall be kept in abeyance.
