BY THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: sts P.BHAVADASAN, J. -------------------------------------------------- OP(C) No.1019 of 2011 -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of March 2011 Judgment In this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the following relief is sought for : “direct the 1st respondent to dispose of OA No.1/2000 and answer the reference in RC 2/2002 within such time this Hon'ble Court deem fit to grant.” 2. The petitioner instituted RCP No.76/2000 to have the second respondent and others evicted from his premises. According to him, they were only tenants in the building. The second respondent raised a contention that she is a kudikidappukari and is entitled to kudikidappu rights. The Rent Control Court considered the matter and referred it to the Land Tribunal, Koothuparamba as RC 2/02. The second respondent also filed an OA for purchase of kudikidappu. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though three reports have been filed by the authorised OPC 1019/11 2 officer, the proceedings are not being disposed of by the Land Tribunal and the same is causing prejudice to him. He therefore, seeks a direction to the Land Tribunal to dispose of OA No.1/2000 and answer the reference in RC No.2/02 within a reasonable time limit to be fixed by this court. 3. In the light of the orders that are proposed to be passed in this petition, it is felt that notice to the respondents is unnecessary. All that the petitioner seeks is a direction to the Land Tribunal for expeditious disposal of the reference made regarding the issue of kudikidappu claimed by one of the parties to the proceedings. There is no reason as to why the matter should be kept pending especially, when the reference was made as early as in 2002. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the Land Tribunal, Koothuparamba to dispose of RCP No.2/02 and OA No.1/00 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within OPC 1019/11 3 a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The OP is disposed of as above. P.Bhavadasan, Judge sta
