Prakash, Senior Counsel For Mr. K.Sudalaikannu, For AppellantFor Respondent(s):Mr.L.Damodharan (caveator) For Respondent.ORDER(Order of the Court was made by Dr.Anita Sumanth,J.)The OSA to which the present Miscellaneous Petition relates has been disposed on 09.09.2015 in the following terms:'4. In the aforesaid contours of the dispute, it is agreed that the appeal may be disposed of in the following terms:a) Written statement having been filed, the replication may be filed within two weeks thereof.b) In view of the limited nature of evidence required, keeping in mind the already overburdened roster of the Master list, it is agreed that the evidence be recorded before a retired Judicial Officer, to expedite the final disposal of the suit. Normally in such a case, the costs would be borne in https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CMP No. 20004 of 2022equal shares, but given the unequal position of the two parties, the respondent has to bear the costs of recording the evidence which is quantified at Rs.50,000/- apart from out of packet expenses.c) We appoint Mr.C.Manickam, a retired Judicial Officer to record evidence.d) So far as preparing the suit for recording of evidence is concerned, the matter be listed before the learned single Judge for framing of issues on 30th September, 2015. e) The parties will file their respective documents within two weeks thereafter and the matter be listed before the Master on 14th October, 2015 for exhibiting the documents. Thereafter, the evidence will be recorded before the Commissioner. f) On recording of evidence being completed, the matter be listed for direction before the learned single Judge for giving a final quietus to the matter inview of the limited issues involved and also in line with the view of the learned single Judge that the relief in the nature of interlocutory stage is really a relief at the final stage.'2. Thereafter, it appears that the defendant in the suit, ie., the employer, Madras Race Club did not pay the sum of Rs.50,000/- to the retired Judicial Officer appointed for taking evidence and hence there was no progress on that front. While so, the suit was transferred to XXI Additional City Civil Court, Lilly Pond Complex, Chennai on account of the pecuniary jurisdiction of the High Court. 3. Hence the present petition has come to be filed by the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CMP No. 20004 of 2022plaintiffs/petitioners seeking a clarification as to whether the Trial Court can record evidence. Though the name of Mr.L.Damodharan, learned counsel who is on caveat is printed for the Madras Race Club, there is no appearance on their behalf. 4. Since the suit is of the year 2012 and taking into account the nature of the relief sought, no further time should be lost in proceeding further with the matter. Hence a direction is to given to XXI Additional City Civil Judge, Lilly Pond Complex, Chennai to proceed with the matter, record evidence, complete the trial and dispose the same within a period of four (4) months from date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. The Miscellaneous Petition stands allowed. No costs.[A.S.M.,J][N.S.,J] 11.07.2025slTo1.The Madras Race ClubRep. By its Secretary, Post Box No.2639 Guindy, Chennai-600 0322.
