JUDGMENT Defendant No.1 in O.S.No.494 of 1998 of the court of learned Munsiff, Kollam and a respondent in A.S.No.228 of 2007 of the court of learned District Judge, Kollam is the petitioner before me. He seeks early disposal of the appeal. 2. The suit was filed about 12 years back to set aside a document and for injunction. The suit was dismissed in the year 2007 following which plaintiff preferred A.S.No.228 of 2007. Learned counsel states that the appeal is ripe for hearing but is posted in the month of August, 2010. Petitioner seeks early disposal of the appeal. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, I direct learned District Judge, Kollam if preliminary steps in the appeal such as service of notice are over, to dispose of A.S.No.228 of 2007 as early as possible. Learned District Judge may advance hearing of the case with notice to the parties so that the appeal could be disposed of at the earliest. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. THOMAS P.JOSEPH, Judge. cks
