The learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw these petitions and he has also made an endorsement to that effect.

2. In view of the above endorsement made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this petition is dismissed as withdrawn. Considering the position that the present petitions relate to cases filed in the year 2012, the

trial Court is directed to dispose of the cases within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, without fail. Taking into consideration and submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the dispute between the parties had been settled in four other cases similar in nature and the petitioner reside in Kerala and is facing much difficulty to attend the court at Chennai on a regular basis, this Court is directed the Court below to dispense with the first petitioner before it upon the petitioner in Crl.OP.Nos.1978 and 2016 of 2012 swearing to an affidavit informing her address for service, that she duly would be represented by her counsel on all hearing dates, that she would, at no instance, dispute her identity and that, she would appear before the trial court as and when required. Upon the petitioner in Crl.OP.Nos.1978 and 2016 of 2012 doing so, the trial court may seek the presence of petitioner in Crl.OP.Nos.1978 and 2016 of 2012 before it, solely on the important hearing dates. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are also closed.
