JAYAKRISHNAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== W.P(C) No.24010 of 2010 ==================================== Dated this the 02nd day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner seeks a direction to learned Sub Judge, Palakkad for early disposal of O.S.No.596 and Ext.P4, application for temporary injunction. Petitioner claims to be a bona fide purchaser of 0.678 Hectares of property in Muthalamada-II Village as per document No.2900/2004. While so respondent No.2 issued Ext.P2, notice requiring petitioner to show cause why that sale deed should not be invalidated for the reason that public revenue is due from prior owner of the property. Petitioner filed Ext.P3, suit for prohibitory injunction to restrain respondents from taking steps to invalidate the assignment deed. He also moved Ext.P4, application for temporary injunction. Learned counsel for petitioner states that in the meantime the Tahsildar issued Ext.P5, order and if disposal of the suit and Ext.P4, application are delayed, petitioner will be put to irreparable loss and injury. I have heard learned Government Pleader also who took notice for the respondents. 2. Suit is of the year 2009 and without knowing the volume of work and priority for disposal of old cases by the learned Sub Judge I do not consider it proper to issue any direction W.P(C) No.24010 of 2010 -: 2 :- to the learned Sub Judge to dispose of the suit. But learned Sub Judge is directed to dispose of Ext.P4, application as expeditiously as possible. I also make it clear that it will be open to petitioner to request learned Sub Judge to dispose of the suit itself if such a course is possible. Writ Petition is disposed of with the above direction.
