THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.C.No.18683 of 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this 16th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Petitioner, a senior citizen aged about 70 years is one of the respondents in A.S.No.142 of 2008 of the court of learned Sub Judge, Kottarakkara. The suit by the respondent herein, O.S.No.175 of 2007 for decree of prohibitory injunction was dismissed in favour of the petitioner and others. Respondent preferred the appeal challenging judgment and decree. Grievance of petitioner is that the appeal is not being disposed of. Learned counsel states that as per O.M.No.R.13/99/SS dated 02-06-1999 issued by this court cases involving senior citizens are to be given top priority in the matter of disposal. 2. Even the averments in the petition would indicate that there are sessions cases and other matters pending in the court of learned Sub Judge. Without understanding the volume of work and the urgency of other matters pending for disposal I do not consider it proper to direct disposal of the appeal with any time limit. But petitioner can urge his grievance before learned Sub Judge and request for an early disposal of the appeal. If any such request is made learned Sub Judge will consider that request on the facts and W.P.C.No.18683 OF 2010 : 2 : circumstances of the case and in the light of O.M referred and pass appropriate orders. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (THOMAS P JOSEPH, JUDGE) Sbna/-
