W.P.(C).28613/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 15th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT The prayer sought for in this writ petition is a direction for expeditious conclusion of the proceedings in TLB 389/73/KPY, at the earliest. 2. Though the learned Government Pleader confirms the pendency of the said proceedings, he submits that on several occasions, notice was issued and that the claimant did not appear. It is stated that it was therefore, that the proceedings could not be finalized so far. 3. Irrespective of the controversy between the parties, as that the matter is now pending before the third respondent, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the proceedings should be expeditiously concluded, with notice to the parties. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the third respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
