JUDGMENT This is a petition seeking a direction to the Sub Court-II, Kottayam to take up the petition filed by the petitioner to sue as an indigent person. 2. In the light of the order that is proposed to be passed, it is felt that notice to the respondents can be dispensed with. 3. Petitioner herein instituted Indigent O.P. 8 of 2007 before the Sub Court-II, Kottayam. The suit was one for declaration of title, rectification of survey plan, mandatory injunction and for other ancillary reliefs. Copy of the plaint is produced as Ext.P1. Even though the petition was filed as early as in 2007, nothing has transpired thereafter. The petitioner prays that there may be a direction to the court below to take up the matter and decide it on merits. WPC. 6231/2010. 2 4. It is indeed sad that an indigent O.P. filed in 2007 is still pending consideration before the court below. There is no justification for the same. Therefore, there will be a direction to the Sub Court-II, Kottayam to take up Indigent O.P.8 of 2007 forthwith and dispose off it in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. P. BHAVADASAN, JUDGE sb.
