THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== O.P(C) NO.846 of 2010 ==================================== Dated this the 24th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T This petition is filed by respondent No.1 in A.S. No.108 of 2009 of the court of learned Sub Judge, Payyannur. Petitioner wants early disposal of the appeal. 2. Though the appeal is of the year 2009 the litigation started about 18 years back in 1991 by petitioner filing O.S.No.260 of 1991 for partition of the suit property. Final decree was passed on 20.07.2009 which is under challenge in A.S. No.108 of 2009. 3. Since the litigation has started 18 years back it must have a logical conclusion without any further delay. Hence learned Sub Judge is directed to dispose of the appeal as early as possible considering the fact that the litigation has started 18 years back and parties have crossed only the stage of final decree. Original Petition is disposed of with the above direction. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
