O R D E R

The petitioner seeks early disposal of HMOP.587 of 2017 filed by him seeking divorce on the ground of cruelty. The original proceeding was initiated by him at Sub-Court, Tambaram in HMOP.No.587 of 2017.

2. The learned counsel for the respondent is absent. Considering the limited prayer sought for, I do not think that this case should be adjourned on the ground of absence of the counsel for the respondent.

4. A perusal of the docket orders passed shows that the proceeding is pending for more than 4 years and the same has been adjourned for filing counter by the respondent till 24.11.2019. Considering the fact that the original petition is pending for nearly 4 years now, this Civil Revision Petition is disposed of with a direction to the Sub-Court, Alandur to Page No.2/4
