THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: vdv S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.31606 OF 2009 -------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of November 2009 ---------------------------------------------------------- JUDGMENT Petitioner is the first respondent in A.S No.121 of 2005 on the file of Sub Court, Kottarakara. The appeal is preferred against the dismissal of the suit O.S No.205 of 2001 on the file of Munsiff Court, Kottarakara by the plaintiffs, who are respondents 1 to 8 in the writ petition. The only relief canvassed in the petition is a writ/direction/order to the learned Sub Judge, Kottarakara for an expeditious disposal of the appeal. 2. A report was called for from the learned Sub Judge, Kottarakara to ascertain whether service in the appeal is complete, and if so, time required for its disposal. It is reported that service is complete, but, 379 appeals of the year 2004 are pending before that court. Having regard to the submissions made and taking note of the facts and W.P.(C).No.31606 OF 2009 Page numbers circumstances presented with reference to the report of the learned Sub Judge, I find, the present appeal A.S No.121 of 2005 can be given top priority in hearing so that it can be disposed of without causing much hindrance to the disposal of the appeals of previous years. I direct the learned Sub Judge, Kottarakara to dispose the appeal A.S No.121 of 2005 within six months, after hearing both sides, from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this judgment. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is closed. Sd/- S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, JUDGE //TRUE COPY// P.A TO JUDGE vdv W.P.(C).No.31606 OF 2009 Page numbers
