3. The learned counsel appearing for the plaintiffs would contend that since there are 15 defendants, it is very difficult to take steps in case any one of them died and hence, there is a delay in conducting the trial.

4. On perusal of the B-Diary extract, I find that the matter is being adjourned from time to time for filing of amended plaint copy.

5. Considering the fact that, the suit is pending for the past five years, this Court is inclined to direct the Sub Court, Vedasandur, Dindigul District to dispose of the suit in O.S.No.186 of 2018 on or before 31.08.2023.

6. With the above said direction, this Civil Revision Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 15.02.2023 NCC : Yes/No Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes / No ebsi To
