Order
This Civil Revision Petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenging the fair and decretal order passed in IA No. 7 of 2025 in OP No. 2457 of 2012 on the file of the VI Additional Principal Family Court, Chennai, wherein the Court below has stayed the entire proceedings in OP No.2457 of 2012 under Order VI Rule 14A(5) (a) of CPC.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and carefully perused the materials placed before this Court as well as the order passed by the Court below.
3. The petitioner filed OP No.2457 of 2012 seeking for dissolution of marriage held between the parties on 13.09.1999. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the evidence on the side of the petitioner had been completed and the case was at the stage of cross examination of respondent/ wife. At that stage, IA No.7 of 2025 was filed by the respondent/wife to stay the entire proceedings on the ground that the petitioner has not furnished his correct address and had misrepresented his address by furnishing the old address without disclosing his present address.
4. The Court below conducted a detailed enquiry into such a frivolous fact and by order dated 20.12.2025, stayed the suit only on the ground that the petitioner had not provided the correct details of address with supporting documents to substantiate the address shown by him as his permanent address. Aggrieved by the said order, the present Civil Revision Petition has been filed before this Court.
5. In the considered view of this Court, the application filed in IA No.7 of 2025 is wholly frivolous. The Original petition was filed in the year 2012 seeking for dissolution of marriage and the case was at the stage of cross examination on the side of the respondent /wife. This clearly indicates that the case was at the fag end of the trial. At this stage, an application is filed to seeking to stay the petition on the ground that the petitioner has not shown the correct address.
6. The Court below should have disregarded this petition for the simple reason that both the parties are already contesting the case before the Court below and the address becomes wholly irrelevant at that stage and the Court below ought to have proceeded further with the trial and disposed of the main petition at the earliest. However, the Court below has chosen to pass a fourteen page order in such a frivolous petition filed by the respondent/wife. Both the parties as well as the Court below have jointly wasted their energy in dealing with an application which will have absolutely no bearing insofar as the main relief that has been sought for in OP No.2457 of 2012 .
7. In view of the above, the order passed by the Court below in IA No.7 of 2025 is set-aside and there shall be a direction to the Court below to proceed further with the main Original petition in OP No.2457 of 2017 and dispose of the same, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

8. In the meantime, the petitioner shall file an appropriate application by mentioning his present residential address along with the relevant documents and the same shall be acted upon and necessary amendment shall be carried out in the cause title.
9. This Civil Revision Petition is disposed of in the above terms. No costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 09-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No RKA To The VI Additional Principal Family Court, Chennai.
