The respondent/plaintiff filed the suit against the petitioner/defendant with the following prayer: “(a).directing the defendant to execute and register the sale deed in favour of the plaintiff, at the plaintiff's expenses receive the balance amount of Rs.64,000/- and directing the defendant to deliver the possession of the schedule mentioned property to the plaintiff and in case the defendant is reluctant to deliver possession of the suit property, the same may be effected through process of law.

In order to note down the physical features in the disputed property, an advocate commissioner has to be appointed. In this regard, the petitioner /defendant filed a petition under Order XXVI Rule 9 CPC, which was dismissed by the trial Judge by passing the impugned order. Hence, challenging the same, the present civil revision petition has been filed. 4. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent/plaintiff supported the order of impugned and submitted that there is no reason to interfere with the impugned order passed by the trial Court and pleaded to dismiss the civil revision petition. 5. I have considered the matter in the light of the submission made by the learned counsel on either side and perused the materials available on record. Page 3 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRP.No.910 of 20236.On Perusal of the records, it is noticed that the respondent/plaintiff filed a suit in O.S.No.41 of 2022 on the file of the Subordinate Court, Katpadi, against the petitioner/defendant for the abovesaid prayer.

The petitioner is the owner of the property and it is not disputed that the respondent is a stranger to the petitioner and the petitioner has not executed any sale agreement in favour of the respondent and in the plaint schedule properties, school building is constructed and there is a compound wall constructed around the suit property that has to be elucidated by local inspection through an Advocate Commissioner, hence, seeking to appoint an advocate commissioner but the trial Court by passing the impugned order dismissed the petition on 16.11.2022 on the ground that on perusal of the sale agreement, it was noticed that the plaint schedule property is only Nanja land and the patta number is 9137 & 9097 and no building was mentioned in the schedule property. 7. Under these circumstances, the Court felt that no need to appoint an advocate commissioner to make a visit the suit property and note down Page 4 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRP.No.910 of 2023the building in the suit property.
