I am informed that the award has been passed by the Arbitrator and the petitions are pending to pass a decree in terms of the award and also another application to set aside the award under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1995. It is true that without disposing of the application under Section 34 of the said Act, a final order cannot be passed. The arbitration O.P. is of the year 1993 and 14 years have been elapsed. Therefore, I direct the I Addl.Sub Court, Thrissur to dispose of the pending matters in A.O.P.No.42 of 1993 and A.O.P.No.11 of 2000, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,within 4 months from today. Writ petition is disposed of as above. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/-
