ORDER

The Mediation between the parties has failed as seen from the Mediation report submitted by the Tamil Nadu Mediation and Conciliation Centre, attached to this Court.

2. However as seen from the documents filed along with this writ petition, it is an undisputed fact that both the parties in the suit namely the petitioner and the 4th respondent, have filed separate civil suits which are still pending. In view of the same, necessarily the parties will have to approach the Civil Court only for redressal of their grievance as rightly held in the impugned order. This Court does not find any merit in this writ petition as the grievance of the petitioner can be redressed only before the Civil Court.

3. Accordingly, this writ petition stands disposed of by directing the respective parties to approach the Civil Court for redressal of their respective grievance. No costs.
