3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners herein have filed O.S.No.675 of 2022 before the learned Principal Subordinate Judge, Tenkasi, seeking for declaration and permanent injunction in respect of temple properties. Pending suit, the petitioners herein have filed I.A.No.2 of 2022 before the learned Principal Subordinate Judge, Tenkasi, seeking for temporary injunction not to alienate the suit scheduled property. However, the said application was pending for more than three years. Hence, he requests this Court to issue a direction to the concerned Court to dispose of the said application within a reasonable time frame to be fixed by this Court.
