ORDER

This Civil Revision Petition (CRP) has been filed challenging the impugned order dated 06.02.2026 passed in MP Sr.No. 4019 of 2026 in RLTOP No. 621 of 2025 on the file of X Judge (FAC), Court of Small Causes, Chennai.

2. Under the impugned order, the preliminary objection raised by the petitioner with regard to maintainability of RLTOP No. 621 of 2025 has been

rejected by directing the petitioner to raise all those objections in the main RLTOP. Instead of proceeding with the main RLTOP, the petitioner has filed this CRP challenging the impugned order. Necessarily, the trial Court will have to consider all the objections that have been raised by the petitioner which includes the maintainability of RLTOP No. 621 of 2025 by relying upon Section 3 of the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017, while deciding the main RLTOP No.621 of 2025.

3. Without interfering with the impugned order, as the impugned order has not gone into the merits of the contentions as raised in this CRP, this Court directs the trial Court, namely, X Judge (FAC), Court of Small Causes, Chennai, to consider all the objections that have been raised in the counter statement filed by the petitioner in the main RLTOP No. 621 of 2025, and pass a speaking order with regard to her objections in the final decision to be rendered by the trial Court in RLTOP No. 621 of 2025. The Trial Court is directed to dispose of the said RLTOP as expeditiously as possible. With these directions, this Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. No Costs. C.M.P.No.8588 of 2026 is closed., 03-06-2026 RKM
