Munsiff, Thrissur to dispose of O.S. 379/06 and O.S.972/06 on a priority basis. This Court has called for a report from the learned Munsiff. It is seen from the report that O.S.972/06 which is pending before the II Addl. Munsiff, Thrissur was transferred to III Addl. Munsiff Court and it was received on 21.3.07. The defendants in the suit had not filed the written statement so far and the case was posted for written statement on 7.7.07. The learned Munsiff has submitted that at least 3 months time also will be necessary for disposal of O.S.972/06 and O.S.379/06. Since these matters pertaining to administration and election I direct the learned Munsiff to dispose of O.S.379/06 and O.S.972/06 pending before that Court within a period of three months from today. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
