Order
This Civil Revision Petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India seeking to quash the proceedings in DVC No.5 of 2022 pending on the file of the District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate at Madhavaram.
CRP No. 6481 of 2026
2. The main grievance that has been expressed by the petitioner is that the proceedings have been pending from the year 2022 without any progress. The petitioner, aged about 69 years contends that he is being harassed by the respondent, who is his wife. It is further contended that the relief sought for in the proceedings is totally unsustainable.
3. In the light of the judgement of the Full Bench of this Court in Arul Daniel and others v. Suganya and others [2022 (6) CTC 833], this Court cannot exercise its discretion under Article 227 of the Constitution of India unless there is a patent lack of jurisdiction on the part of the Court below. No such ground has been made out in this case. However, considering the grievance expressed by the petitioner, the learned District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate at Madhavaram is directed to dispose of DVC No.5 of 2022, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The presence of the petitioner is dispensed with and he shall be represented through a counsel, unless his appearance is required by the Court below in any of the hearings.
4. 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 RKA
