Nos.1844 and 1845 of 2009 in O.S. No. 754 of 2007 of the court of learned Principal Sub Judge, Thiruvananthapuram is the petitioner in this petition. A compromise decree was passed in the case. Petitioner later contended that the compromise decree is not valid as petitioner signed the compromise under threat. He also challenged the compromise decree on other grounds. He filed I.A. No.1845 of 2009 for review of the compromise decree and I.A. No.1844 of 2009 to condone the delay in filing the said application. It is stated that applications are pending consideration of the court below since the last 1½ years and so far those applications have not been disposed of. Learned counsel requested that a direction may be issued to the learned Sub Judge to dispose of the applications expeditiously. 2. Without understanding the volume of work in the court below and priority for disposal of old cases it is not proper to issue O.P(C) No.1266 of 2010 -: 2 :- any direction for time bound disposal as prayed for. But having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case I make it clear that it will be open to the petitioner to make a request for early disposal of the applications in the court below, and if any such request is made learned Sub Judge shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders. Original Petition is disposed of with the above direction. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
