This original petition under Article 227 is filed by the landlord seeking a direction for early disposal of RCA No.38/2007 pending before the 1st Additional Rent Control Appellate Authority, Kollam. It is submitted that at present there is no presiding officer in the concerned Court and hence the directions are sought to the Principal Rent Control Appellate Authority, Kollam to dispose of the above RCA early. We feel that the petitioner will have to move the District Court, Kollam by appropriate application under Rule 17 of the Kerala Buildings (Lease & Rent Control) Rules seeking transfer of the above RCA from the files of the 1st Additional Rent Control Appellate Authority, Kollam either to the Principle Rent Control Appellate Authority itself or any other Rent Control Appellate Authority, O.P.RC.No.279/2011 2 Kollam. We are sure that if such an application is filed, the District Court will take a just decision on the application considering the delay which has already been caused in the matter of disposal of the appeal.
