No.1421 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 14th day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner states that she is an applicant in O.A.No.17272/76 now pending before the 3rd respondent. Although, initially the application was dismissed, finally following the order passed by this Court in CRP No.2579/81, orders of the Land Tribunal and the Appellate Authority were set aside and the matter was remitted to the 3rd respondent for reconsideration. It is in that manner that the case is still pending. 2. In this writ petition what the petitioner complains is regarding the delay in the disposal of the O.A. Taking into account the fact that the O.A. was filed in the year 1976 and the matter is still pending consideration of the Tribunal, it is directed that the 3rd respondent shall expedite the disposal of the O.A. as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six months of production of a copy of this judgment. 3. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
