SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ I.A.NO.10800 OF 2008 & W.P.(C)No.845 OF 2007 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT The I.A. is filed by the petitioner in the writ petition praying to dispose of the writ petition itself recording the settlement arrived at by the parties before the Sub Court, Attingal on the basis of the compromise petition filed by them in A.S.No.49/1999. 2. The learned Counsel for the 7th respondent seeks time to get instructions. 3. I do not think that this writ petition requires to be adjourned for that purpose in so far as the I.A. is filed by the petitioner in the writ petition seeking the above said relief. If the averments in the I.A. are not correct, the petitioner in the writ petition himself will have to suffer. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed recording the submission of the petitioner that the parties have settled the matter on the basis of a compromise petition filed by them in A.S.No.49/1999. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
