JUDGMENT Petitioner who is the first respondent in A.S. 272 of 2008 pending before the III Addl. District Court, Kollam seeks a direction to that court for an expeditious disposal of the said suit.

Accordingly this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the District court, L.A.A. No. 443 of 2009 -:2:- Kollam to dispose of A.S. No. 272/08 expeditiously and at any rate within six months of receipt of a copy of this judgment provided the said appeals are ripe for hearing after service of summons to the respondents. This Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Dated this the 29th day of May, 2009. Sd/-V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. Ani/ /true copy/
