WP(C).No. 19664 OF 2008 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 1st DAY OF JULY, 2008 JUDGMENT This petition is filed under Article 227 of Constitution of India for a direction to the Munsiff, Chengannur to conduct joint trial of O.S.102 of 2008 along with O.S.60 of 2007, 84 of 2007 and 168 of 2007 and also to consider I.A.897 of 2008 in O.S.84 of 2007. 2. Learned counsel appearing for petitioner was heard. O.S.60 of 2007, O.S.84 of 2007 and O.S.168 of 2007 are being jointly tried by the learned Munsiff. According to the petitioner, O.S.102 of 2008, instituted by the respondents against the plaintiff, is also in respect of the same property and therefore that suit is also to be jointly tried. Ext.P5 petition was filed in O.S.84 of 2007 for joint trial of the cases with O.S.102 of 2008. The affidavit filed in support of Ext.P5 petition shows that petitioner has filed an application under Section 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure in O.S.102 of 2008, to stay the trial of that suit till the disposal of the other suits, which were previously filed. In such circumstances, I do not find it necessary to pass any direction as sought for, to have a joint trial of all the cases. Wp(c) 19664/2008 2 3. It is for the learned Munsiff to decide whether O.S.102 of 2008 is also to be jointly tried along with O.S.84 of 2007, O.S.60 of 2007 and O.S.168 of 2007. The writ petition is disposed, directing learned Munsiff to pass appropriate order in I.A.897 of 2008 in accordance with law expeditiously. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE lgk/-
