Before the first appellate Court, the respondent filed certain documents to substantiate its case. The first appellate Court after hearing the arguments on behalf of the appellants and the respondent and considering the documents filed by the respondent held that the respondent has prima facie proved that the appellants have been removed from the partnership of the first defendant's Association with effect from 17.04.2013 and the same was communicated to the appellants.

Be that as it may, when the matter is taken up for hearing, both the counsel fairly submits that the appellants herein has filed two applications, namely, I.A.Nos.487 and 488 of 2015 for temporary injunction, wherein, in the case of I.A.No.488 of 2015, this Court, in C.M.S.A.No.53 of 2016, by an order dated 21.03.2016 directed the District Munsif, Kovilpatti to dispose of the suit, as early as possible not later than July 2017.
