NAZAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: R. BASANT, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.C.No. 4849 of 2007 B - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 13th day of February, 2007 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioners is that sufficient time is not available to the petitioners now to take part adequately in the trial of C.C.Nos. 317 and 318 of 2006, which were pending before the J.F.C.M. - II, Chengannur (now transferred to J.F.C.M. -I, Chengannur and pending as C.C. 844 of 2006 and 53 of 2007). By Ext.P3 order dt. 29.12.2006 there was a direction that the cases must be disposed of within two months. The last case has been transferred only on 22.1.2007 and there is hardly sufficient time to comply with the direction to dispose of the matter before 29.2.07 as directed in Ext.P3. 2. The request does appear to me to be absolutely reasonable. There shall hence be a direction to the J.F.C.M.-I, Chengannur to dispose of the cases as expeditiously as possible, at any rate by 13.4.2007. 3. The writ petition is allowed as above. (R. BASANT) Judge tm
