NO. 3172 OF 2007 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 30th day of January, 2007. J U D G M E N T Heard the learned Government Pleader. Also heard the writ petitioner. The prayer in the writ petition is seeking a direction to the Appellate Authority, Alappuzha to hear and dispose of A.A.18/03 pending before the said authority. A perusal of the documents produced would show that even the appellate fight has started as early as in 1996 and the case file is being transferred from one Appellate Authority to other Appellate Authority, most probably on account of the abolition of the authorities. The writ petitioner is legitimately entitled to get a disposal of his appeal which was filed as early as in 1996. No notice to respondents is necessary in this case. Therefore, the writ petition is allowed and a direction is given to the Appellate Authority, Alappuzha to dispose of the matter within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Registry is directed to send a copy of this judgment to the Appellate Authority, Alappuzha. W.P.C. 3172 OF 2007 -:Page numbers:- It is made clear that the Appellate Authority should give notice of hearing to the appellant in this case before hearing and disposal of the matter. M.N.
