THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/11/2008 , THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(c).No.35296 of 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 28 th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner, who was the 1st defendant in O.S.No.596 of 2002 on the file of the Munsiff's Court, Adoor, has challenged Ext.P5 ex parte decree dated 5.6.2007 by filing Ext.P7 application as I.A.No.1960/2008 under Order 9 Rule 13 C.P.C. Since the petition is filed out of time, he has also filed Ext.P8 petition as I.A.No.1961/2008 to condone the delay in filing Ext.P7 application. While so, the execution proceedings are being proceeded with. Since as per the ex parte order an earlier decree obtained by the petitioner against the plaintiffs has been set aside and the petitioner and other defendants have been directed to vacate possession of the plaint D Schedule property within two months, it is just and necessary that until the court below disposes of Ext.P7 and P8 petitions all further proceedings in execution of Ext.P5 decree are kept in abeyance. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the Munsiff, Adoor to dispose of Ext.P8 delay petition, expeditiously, W.P.(c).No.35296 of 2008 2 after hearing both sides, and in case the delay is condoned, to dispose of Ext.P7 petition thereafter, expeditiously, after hearing both sides. The execution of the decree in O.S.No.596/2002 shall be kept in abeyance until and subject to the disposal of Exts.P7 and P8 petitions. Dated this the 28 th day of November, 2008. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
