THIS CRP, COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI - 8 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010752802025 NC: 2026:KHC:41720 CRP No. 862 of 2025 ORAL ORDER The petitioner is before this Court, aggrieved by the order dated 16.10.2025 passed in I.A. under Order VII Rule 11(a), (b) and (d) of the CPC in O.S. No. 812/2015, by the IV Addl. Senior Civil Judge, Bengaluru Rural District, Bengaluru, which was dismissed by the impugned order. 2. According to the defendants, he purchased the property in the year 1992. A partition among the male members of the family took place in the year 1989; based on that, the property was sold to the petitioner. In the year 2015, the suit was filed. It is submitted that the Order VII Rule 11 application was filed in the year 2017. It was disposed of on 16.10.2025. It is submitted that when the properties are already partitioned and, pursuant to that, sold, there is no cause of action against them, and the suit itself has to be dismissed on the ground of no cause of action and limitation. The trial Court, without appreciating all the facts, dismissed the application. It is submitted that, looking at the age of the defendant, who is aged 90 years, if the proceedings continue in - 9 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010752802025 NC: 2026:KHC:41720 CRP No. 862 of 2025 this manner, he will not be able to see the litigation reach a logical end. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that the trial Court has rightly dismissed the application because the defendant is concerned only with the property he has purchased; there are other suit properties; he cannot seek dismissal of the entire suit and the trial Court has rightly dismissed the application and there are no grounds to interfere. 4. Having heard the learned counsel on either side, perused the material on record. As far as the reasoning given by the trial Court is concerned, this Court is of the view that no interference is called for. However, considering the age of defendant No.13, this Court deems it appropriate to pass the following ORDER i. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of, directing the IV Addl. Senior Civil Judge, Bengaluru Rural District, - 10 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010752802025 NC: 2026:KHC:41720 CRP No. 862 of 2025 Bengaluru, to dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible, but not later than a year. ii. Pending IAs., if any, shall stand closed. Sd/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE PKN List No.: 1 Sl No.: 56
