By GP SRI K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 9125 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 23rd DAY OF MARCH, 2009 JUDGMENT Notice to second and third respondents dispensed with, preserving their right to move for review of this judgment, if aggrieved. The petitioner filed Ext.P1 arbitration case before the first respondent against respondents 2 and 3 in the year 2006. It was numbered in 2007. The complaint is that there is inordinate delay in disposal of that arbitration case. The proceedings are pending before the Joint Registrar as arbitrator and not before the Co- operative Arbitration Tribunal. Obviously, therefore the matter could be expedited. Hence without prejudice to the contention of the parties, it is directed that first respondent would expedite final disposal of Ext.P1 arbitration case and render a final decision, at any rate, within an outer limit of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. All other issues left open. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/24/3
