No.21546 of 1999 .................................................................... Dated this the 3rd day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT C.N.Ramachandran Nair, J. The O.P. is in the nature of a public interest litigation for a direction from this court to the respondents to enforce the provisions of Kerala Money Lenders Act. Petitioner has not pointed out any instance of violation by any licencee. The O.P. is pending for the last nearly 8 years and there was no interim order. It is not known whether there are subsequent amendments to the Money Lenders Act or action is taken for violations if any by licencees. We are not in a position to consider the case hypothetically and therefore, we close the O.P. leaving freedom to the petitioner to approach this court pointing out specific cases and making relevant parties as respondents.
