No. 333 of 2015 on the file of Principal Civil Judge (Junior Division) at Markapuram, pending final disposal of the CRP and pass Counsel for the Petitioner(S): 1. B VAMSI KRISHNA Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. The Court made the following: 4 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO: 749/2026 ORDER:- The Civil Revision Petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India seeking to direct the learned Principal Civil Judge (Junior Division), Markapuram to dispose of I.A.No.560 of 2017 in O.S.No.333 of 2015 expeditiously. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. As issuance of notices to the respondents is not necessary in this matter, hence notices to the respondents are hereby dispensed with. 3. The petitioners herein are defendants and the respondents herein are plaintiffs in the suit. For the sake of convenience the parties herein are referred as arrayed in the suit. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the plaintiffs filed a suit for partition in respect of the suit schedule properties. After considering the evidence and documents, the trial Court was pleased to pass a preliminary decree on 06.01.2017. After passing the preliminary decree, the plaintiffs filed I.A.No.560 of 2017 in O.S.No.333 of 2015 for appointment of an advocate commissioner to identify and divide the plaint schedule properties by metes and bounds and to pass a final decree. Even though I.A.No.560 of 2017 was filed seeking for appointment of an advocate commissioner for division of the properties by metes and bounds and as per the terms of the preliminary 5 decree, but the trial Court for one reason or the other kept the said I.A. pending. Hence, the Revision Petition. 5. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the material placed on record. It is an admitted fact that the petitioners herein are defendants in the partition suit on the file of the Principal Civil Judge (Junior Division), Markapuram. In the said suit a preliminary decreed was passed on 06.01.2017. It is also an admitted fact that immediately after passing a preliminary decree, the plaintiffs also filed I.A.No.560 of 2017 seeking for demarcation of schedule properties by metes and bounds and as per the terms of the preliminary decree and to pass final decree. It appears that even though I.A.No.560 of 2017 was filed in the year 2017, but as contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the trial Court did not venture to pass final decree as required under Order 20 Rule 18 of C.P.C. It is further brought to the notice of this Court that High Court issued circular dated 20.10.2022, as per Clause-2 of the said circular, any pre-2017 matters should be taken up on priority basis for hearing in the entire District judiciary and the progress report should be sent to the High Court on monthly basis for placing the same before the Hon’ble Administrative Judge on the progress. In view of the circular issued by this Court, the trial Court is under the obligation to dispose of the same on priority basis. It seems that the trial Court except issuing notices in I.A.No.560 of 2017, no proceedings were elicited from the record what steps were taken by the trial Court, since nearly nine years lapsed after passing the preliminary decree. Be that as it may, this Court inclined to pass an order 6 directing the trial Court to dispose of I.A.No.560 of 2017 on priority basis as per the circular, as early as possible. If the Advocate Commissioner was already appointed, if metes and bounds were identified, the said application can be disposed of, within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of copy of this Order. Otherwise, it should be disposed of by following all the procedure required, within a period of six (6) months from the date of receipt of copy of this Order. 6. With the above direction, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. _________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA, J 12.03.2026 TPS 7 50 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO: 749/2026 12.03.2026 TPS
