This petition has been filed seeking a direction to the learned III Additional District Munsif, Madurai Town, to dispose of the proceedings in R.C.O.P.N.59 of 2017 within a time stipulated by this Court.

thereby, directing the respondent to hand over the possession of the subject property. The first petitioner is the landlord and the respondent is the tenant under him.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that this Court may issue a direction to the trial Court to dispose of the case in R.C.O.P.N.59 of 2017 within a reasonable time frame to be fixed by this Court.
