Petitioner is the respondent in S.M.P.No. 162/95 pending on the file of the Land Tribunal, Tripunithura. It is submitted that she is the mother of respondents 3 and 4 in S.M.P.No.162/95 aforesaid; that her late husband P.A.Bhaskaran owned 63 cents of land in R.S.No.396/5 of Mulavukad Village; that father of the respondents herein, was a kudikidappukaran in the said property and consequently, the husband of the petitioner assigned ten cents of land to him towards kudikidappu right and the rest is in possession of herself and her children; that the respondents have initiated S.M.P.No.162/95 before the Land Tribunal, Tripunithura setting up a contention that the aforesaid 53 cents had been assigned by the husband of the petitioner to Angathan, the second WPC 2897/09 2 respondent before the Land Tribunal, who is the uncle of the respondents herein; that subsequently, the said Angathan assigned the property in their favour and thus, they are entitled to get purchase certificate over 53 cents as a cultivating tenant; that the evidence in the case is already over; that arguments were heard and the counsel for the petitioner filed argument notes also before the Tribunal and that though the matter was taken up for disposal as early as in 1998, no orders are passed by the Tribunal, taking any decision one way or the other in S.M.P.No.162/95. Petitioner, therefore, prays that a direction be issued to the Land Tribunal, Tripunithura to pass final orders and dispose of S.M.P.No.162/95 on its file at an early date. 3. In the result, I direct the Land Tribunal, Tripunithura to pass final orders disposing of S.M.P.No.162/95 on his file positively within two weeks from the date on which a copy of this WPC 2897/09 3 judgment is produced before the Tribunal.
