For Petitioner : Mr.C.Rajesh *** COMMON ORDER These Civil Revision Petitions have been filed against the orders passed on 06.07.1998 in I.A.No.1133 of 1992 in I.A.No.583 of 1997 in O.S.No.167 of 1997 and I.A.No.1132 of 1997 in O.S.No.167 of 1997 respectively. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 2.It is seen from the records, these Civil Revision Petitions were filed on 04.11.1998 before the establishment of this Bench. Subsequently, these Civil Revision Petitions have been numbered in 2011. When the matter came up for admission on 24.06.2011, considering the fact that the orders challenged were passed in 1998, this Court doubted as to whether the original suit is pending before the Court below or not and called for a report from the trial Court. The learned Principal District Munsif, Tirunelveli by his report dated 28.06.2011 reported that the said suit was disposed of on 17.10.2000 itself after full trial. 3.When the suit itself was disposed of on 17.10.2000, nothing survives in the Civil Revision Petitions. The learned counsel should have taken care to see that whether the suit is pending or not, especially when these Civil Revision Petitions brought for admission before this Court after 12 years. No such steps has been taken. When it was pointed out, the counsel who represented the matter sought time after one week. However, this Court was not inclined to give time. 4.Though it is an attempt of abuse of process of law warranting award of heavy cost, this Court is not awarding cost taking a lenient view. In view of the above reasons, these Civil Revision Petitions are dismissed. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(C.O) /True Copy/ Sub-Assistant Registrar To The Principal District Munsif, Tirunelveli.
