The plaintiff in O.S.No.706 of 1996 on the file of Principal Sub Court, Pondicherry has filed the above Civil Revision Petition to direct the trial court to dispose of the final decree application in I.A.No.170 of 2011, within a stipulated time.

2. Mr.T.Dhanyakumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that though the plaintiff filed the suit in the year 1996 and a final decree was passed in the year 2000, the trial court has not passed the final decree in spite of the final decree application being filed in the year 2011. Further, the learned counsel submitted that most of the parties are senior citizens therefore, they are put to hardship and prejudice.
