ORDER
This Civil Revision Petition has been filed under Article 227 of Constitution of India against the fair and decretal order passed in IA No . 6 of 2026 in OS No. 5559 of 2023 on the file of III Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai, wherein the application filed by the petitioners/plaintiffs seeking for conducting a joint trial of the suits in OS.No.5559 of 2023 and OS.No.7221 of 2024, came to be dismissed by the trial court.
2. Heard both sides and also carefully perused the materials available on record, as well as the order passed by the Court below.
3. The main ground that was urged by the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the suit in OS.No.7221 of 2024 is only an offshoot of the earlier suit filed in OS.No.5559 of 2023 and that both suits ought to be tried jointly.
4. Earlier, the petitioners filed Tr.O.P.No.45 of 2025 before the Principle Judge, City Civil Court, Chennai and the said petition was allowed on 11.09.2026 in the following terms.:-
CRP No. 6056 of 2026
5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that both the cases are interconnected and hence prays for join trial. Though the contesting respondents 2 to 6 herein have filed counter, they have stated that they have no objection to transfer the suit, however, for simultaneous trial. On perusal of records, in both the suits trial is not yet commenced. In view of the above position and the submission of the respondents 2 to 6, this Court is inclined to withdraw the suit in OS No.7221 of 2024 pending on the file of XVI Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai and to transfer the same to the file of III Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai for simultaneous trial along with OS No.5559 of 2023.
6. In the result, the petition is allowed. The suit in OS No.7221 of 2024 pending on the file of the XVI Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai is withdrawn and the same is transferred to the file of III Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai for simultaneous trial along with OS No.5559 of 2023. The parties shall bear their own costs.
5. A perusal of the above order shows that the learned Principle Judge, City Civil Court, Chennai, specifically directed that both suits be tried simultaneously. In such view of the matter, the Court below cannot order for a joint trial, in the light of the specific direction given by the Principle Judge, City
CRP No. 6056 of 2026
Civil Court, Chennai. Hence, the order passed by the court below does not suffer from any perversity warranting the interference of this Court.
6. If according to the petitioners, a joint trial has to be conducted in the said suits, they have to seek for modification of the order passed in Tr.O.P.No.45 of 2025 or must challenge the said order insofar as ordering for simultaneous trial. It is left open to the petitioners to move an appropriate application/petition in this regard.
7. This Civil Revision petition is disposed of in the above terms. No costs. 30-09-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No RKA To
