RAMKUMAR, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No.30783 of 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 29 th day of October, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner, who is a senior citizen and a widow, is the defendant in O.S.180 of 2008 on the file of the Munsiff's Court, Chavakkad. The said suit is one for partition. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the suit is ripe for disposal, the suit is not being listed for trial. 3. It may be the pressure of work of the learned Munsiff which might have stood in the way of an early disposal of the suit. But, having regard to the fact that the petitioner is a widow and a senior citizen, the learned Munsiff shall make an earnest endeavour to list the suit for trial so that the petitioner could, if eligible, reap the fruits of the decree which might be passed during her life time itself. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the learned Munsiff, Chavakkad to list O.S.No.180 of 2008 W.P.(c).No.30783 of 2009 2 for trial within six months of receipt of a copy of this judgment and dispose of the suit within a reasonable time thereafter. In case that court is not able to adhere to the above time limit, the learned Munsiff shall send a report to this Court through proper channel explaining the reason as to why the above time limit could not be adhere to. Dated this the 29 th day of October, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
