Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P4 order dated 7-8-2003 in I.A.No.1268/2003 in O.S.No.255/2001. It is an application filed under Section 10 of the CPC for staying all further proceedings in the suit till the disposal of Mat. Appeal No.35 of 2003 pending before this court. The suit is one for damages. In the nature of the pleadings in the suit and as referred to in the writ petition we are of the view that it is only appropriate that the suit is tried only after the disposal of Mat. Appeal No.35/2003 referred to above since the crux of the issue is the family dispute between the petitioner and the first respondent. Accordingly we set aside Ext.P4 order passed by the Munsiff Court, Ottapalam in I.A.No.1268/2003 in O.S.No.255/2001 and the application is allowed. The writ petition is allowed as above.
