C. No.558 of 2009 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 6th day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT This Writ Petition is filed by the decree holder in O.S.252/05 on the file of the Munsiff's Court, Sasthamcotta seeking for a direction being issued by this Court to the Munsiff-Magistrate, Sasthamcotta to consider and dispose of E.A.24/08 and E.A.25/08 in E.P.27/08 in O.S.252/05 on the file of his Court within a time frame to be fixed by this Court and to direct the Munsiff to consider and dispose of E.P.27/08 within a time frame to be fixed by this Court. 2. It has been ascertained through the Registry from the Munsiff's Court, Sasthamcotta that E.A.24/08 and E.A.25/08 were dismissed as not pressed as early as on W. P. C. No.558 of 2009 -2- 19/09/08. Counsel for the petitioner is blissfully ignorant of that aspect. It is further reported that E.P.27/08 was taken up on 18/11/08 on which day decree holder prayed for evidence after PW1 was examined and it was adjourned to 13/01/09 for further evidence. The Munsiff has further reported that six months' time more is required to dispose of E.P. It is seen that the E.P could not be disposed of as the decree holder was praying for time and getting it adjourned. This is not a case wherein any direction is expected to be issued by this Court to the Munsiff- Magistrate, Sasthamcotta as however, he has stated that six months' time more is required for disposal of the E.P. The Munsiff shall dispose of the E.P. within six months' in case the decree holder co-operates. W. P. C. No.558 of 2009 -3- 3. This Writ Petition is thus, disposed of. K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE kns/-
