6. It is settled law that whenever a petition is filed for receiving additional document in an appeal, the same shall be taken along with the appeal and therefore that must be considered only when the appeal is heard. On this ground, this Court sets aside the order passed in I.A. No.43 of 2018 in A.S.No.119 of 2017 on the file of the Additional Sub Court, Tenkasi. The matter is remitted back to the first appellate court. The first appellate court shall take up the case along with A.S.No. 119 of 2017. Since A.S.No.119 of 2017 is pending from 2017, the first appellate court is required to dispose of the matter within a period of two months at any rate not later than 28.02.2021.

7. In fine, this civil revision petition is allowed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (AE) // True Copy // / /2020 Sub Assistant Registrar(CS) CM To 1.The Additional Subordinate Judge, Additional Sub Court, Tenkasi.
