J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the Land Tribunal, Tripunithura to dispose of O.A.14/02 within a specified time. The writ petitioner is a senior citizen aged 79 years. The case O.A.14/02 is pending before the Tribunal without any progress for the last five years. Therefore, he seeks for a direction for disposal of the matter. There appears to be considerable force in the contention and being a senior citizen the prayer is to be allowed. Therefore, the writ petition is allowed and the Land Tribunal, Tripunithura is directed to dispose of O.A.14/02 pending before it within a stipulated time of four months from today, after hearing both sides. The writ petitioner is directed to take a copy of this order and produce it before the Land Tribunal for necessary compliance. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
