This Civil Revision Petition has been filed seeking a direction to dispose of the appeal in A.S.No.15 of 2022 pending on the file of the learned Sub Court, Pattukottai within a time stipulated by this Court.
2. According to the revision petitioners, the respondent filed a suit for declaration and injunction in O.S.No.240 of 2015 before the District Munsif Court, Pattukottai. After trial, the suit was dismissed on 30.11.2020. Thereafter, the respondent has filed an appeal in A.S.No.15 of 2022. The petitioners are ready for arguments.

3. Heard the learned counsel appearing for petitioner. Since the
revision is filed for seeking early disposal, no notice is necessary to the respondent.
4. Having been taken into consideration of the material facts and circumstances, this Court is of the view that in the interest of justice, a
