The plaintiff, who filed a suit for specific performance, has filed this revision being aggrieved by the delay in disposing of the suit.
2.According to the petitioner, the defendant had taken fairly long time that is nearly 1 1⁄2 years even to file a written statement. Thereafter, the matter was referred to Lok Adalat, but it was in vain. Again, after the issues were framed it was referred to Lok Adalat even the second time also it was futile. In the mean while, there are two I.As filed for impleadment and appointing a guardian of the minor children of the defendant. Even that applications are kept pending.
3.In these circumstances, the petitioner herein seeks a direction to be given to the Principal District Judge, Dindigul for speedy disposal of the suit. From the 'B' diary, it can to be seen that there was no unnecessary delay. However, the delay is only procedural. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is living in Mumbai and he has to travel from Mumbai to Dindigul for every hearing which is causing him inconvenience and he is put to great prejudice and hardship.
In the circumstances, the petitioner/plaintiff seeks a time frame to be given to the learned Principal District Judge, Dindigul for the speedy disposal of the suit.
