3. The petitioners are plaintiffs, who filed the suit in O.S.No.69 of 2015 seeking for the relief of declaration and permanent injunction and damages. The suit reached the stage of examination of witnesses. The Secretary of the petitioner association was examined as PW-1. An application came to be filed in I.A.No.12 of 2026 in O.S.No.69 of 2015 under Order III Rule 2 CPC to permit one A.Jeyaraman to depose on the side of the plaintiffs in the pending suit. This application came to be dismissed by the Court below on the ground that the said A.Jeyaraman cannot be permitted to depose in substitution to one Chitra Kannan, who was already examined in chief. Aggrieved by the said order, the present revision has been filed before this Court.
4. When the matter was taken up for hearing on 05.10.2026, this Court passed the following order: “When the matter was taken up for hearing today, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that PW.1 was examined in chief on 1.10.2026 and an application was also filed for filing additional documents. The matter was listed for hearing today and the other side took time to file counter in the interlocutory application and the matter has been posted on 09.10.2026.
2. In view of the same, post this CRP under the same caption on 12.10.2026.”
5. When the matter was taken up for hearing, it was brought to the notice of this Court that the enquiry in the application filed for filing additional documents is listed for hearing today finally. Learned counsel for petitioners, on

instructions, submitted that the said Chitra Kannan is available in India till 30.10.2026 and therefore, if the examination of PW-1 is completed by then there shall be no need for substituting any person to depose as PW-1.
6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the reasons assigned by the petitioners and also taking note of the fact that the said Chitra Kannan is available for cross-examination till 30.10.2026, there shall be a direction to the Court below to ensure that the examination of the said Chitra Kannan is completed by 30.10.2026.
7. The association is the first plaintiff and therefore, the person representing the association will keep changing and therefore, whenever there is a change, the Court below shall deal with the application to ensure that the association is being represented by a competent person. This civil revision petition is disposed of in the above terms. No costs. 12-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No gm
