2. The request made by the learned District Munsif, Ponneri vide letter dated 07.09.2023 is perused. Before we consider the request of the learned District Munsif, it is relevant to extract the order passed by this Court on 21.03.2023 to emphasise the direction of this Court. In para 32, this Court gave the following direction:- "32. The learned District Munsif is directed to give priority to this case, as it is a matter pending from the year 1985 and dispose of the same on or before 30.09.2023. It shall submit a report of disposal of the applications immediately thereafter. The parties are requested to cooperate with the disposal of the case and not seek any adjournment. Full discretion is given to the Trial Court to refuse adjournment if it feels that the same is unnecessary or an attempt to prolong the litigation. At no cost should the Court keep the applications and suit pending beyond 30.09.2023. As the parties have been litigating for the past 30 years, I am not ordering any cost in this appeal."
