The respondent has filed the other suit O.S No.41/2008 seeking a perpetual prohibitory injunction to restrain his forcible eviction from the building. Ext.P1 is the copy of the plaint in O.S No.41/2008 filed by the respondent which indicate his status as the tenant of the building under the petitioner is not disputed. Petitioner claims that he is a senior citizen entitled to have an early disposal of the two suits by the court W.P.(C) No.17290 OF 2009 2 below. 2. Having regard to the facts and circumstances presented I find that no notice to the respondent is necessary, and hence it is dispensed with. A report from the learned Munsiff was called for to ascertain the present stage of the suits as to whether they are ripe for trial. It is reported that both the suits are now posted for settling the issues. Considering the facts and circumstances presented and hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and also taking note that the learned Munsiff will have to attend to even older cases which require to be given priority I direct him to dispose the above suits as expeditiously as possible, at any rate before 31/01/2010.
