JUDGMENT This Writ Petition is filed against the order of the Munsiff Court, Kodungallur in dismissing the case for non-prosecution. Dismissal of the case for non-prosecution is equivalent to dismissal for default and Order 9 Rule 9 of C.P.C. will squarely apply. Therefore, this Writ Petition is not maintainable. It is also submitted that the matter has been settled between the parties out of court. Writ Petition is dismissed. M.N.Krishnan, Judge. ess 31/10
