As per the decree, the petitioner and the other defendants have been restrained by an order of prohibitory injunction from causing obstruction to the management and administration to the Kannannoor Devi Temple, Chennithala Thekkum Muri, and its properties until the tenure of the present Managing Committee. A decree for mandatory injunction has also been granted directing the writ petitioner to return plaint schedule item Nos.3 and 4 which are movable assets belonging to the temple. As per Ext.P2 order dated 27.11.2008, the lower appellate court has vacated W.P.(c).No. 14387 of 2009 2 interim stay of execution of the decree which was granted earlier on 26.7.07. Ext.P2 does not give the reasons as to why the stay granted earlier was vacated. However, I am not inclined to issue notice to the respondents and further delay the matter. Interests of justice will be adequately met by issuing a direction to the 1st Additional District Court, Mavelikara to dispose of A.S.No.169/2007 expeditiously. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of directing the Additional District Court-I, Mavelikara to dispose of A.S.No.169/2007 expeditiously and at any rate within six months of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The mandatory injunction granted as per the decree of the trial court shall be kept in abeyance till the disposal of the appeal. Dated this the 28 th day of May, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
