THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, J. ----------------------------- W.P.(C).No.29645 OF 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of November 2009 ------------------------------------- JUDGMENT The writ petition is filed seeking the following reliefs. i) Direct the Munsiff Court, Sasthamkotta to dispose O.S No.179/2005 pending before that court as expeditiously as possible within a period of one month. ii) Issue such other order or direction as this Hon'ble Court deems fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. 2. Petitioner is the second defendant in O.S No.179 of 05 on the file of the Munsiff Court, Sasthamcotta. Suit is one for injunction and the first respondent is the plaintiff. The grievance espoused in the writ petition is that even after W.P.(C).No.29645 OF 2009 Page numbers four years, the trial of the suit is considerably delayed and thereby the petitioner is put to severe hardship and irreparable injury. Petitioner seeks an early disposal of the suit by issuing appropriate writ/direction to the court below. 3. Having regard to the submissions made and taking note of the facts and circumstances presented, a report from the learned Munsiff was called for. It is reported that the case now stands posted for framing of issues on 12/01/2010. It is further reported, the suit can be given top priority so that its trial can be speeded up for its disposal at an early date. Considering the fact that issues have not been framed till date, I direct the court below to advance the posting with notice to both parties and frame issues on the basis of the pleadings of the parties at an early date, and, then, after providing reasonable W.P.(C).No.29645 OF 2009 Page numbers opportunity to both sides to dispose the suit as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is closed. Sd/- S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, JUDGE //TRUE COPY// P.A TO JUDGE vdv
