This Civil Revision Petition has been filed to direct the learned Sub Court, Theni, to expedite the proceedings in O.S.No.313 of 2017.

2.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the suit was filed in the year 2017 and the revision petitioner/6th defendant filed written statement in the suit on 04.12.2017 itself. He further submitted that the suit 1st schedule property is a pathway for worshiping the temple. Since the suit is pending, the respondents 1 to 4/plaintiffs are restraining the revision petitioner from using the suit 1st schedule property to worship the temple and the suit is pending without any progress for the last five years. Therefore, he seeks expeditious disposal of the suit. 3.Mr.A.Kannan, learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 5 to 9 sought time to file his counter. Considering the nature of relief to be granted, issuance notice to the respondents 1 to 4 is dispensed with. 4.Considering the fact that the suit is of the year 2017 and issues were also framed, the learned Sub Judge, Theni is directed to dispose of the suit on merits and in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5.With the above direction, this Civil Revision Petition is allowed. No costs.
