THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).32894/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 17th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioners are the applicants in OP(MV). 1326/2005 and 1325/2005, and applications are filed for compensation, for the injuries sustained by the petitioners and their minor children in a motor vehicle accident which took place on 6.3.2005. It is averred thus in paragraph 4 of the writ petition:- It is submitted that the pleadings in Ext.P1 toP4 are completed. But the learned Tribunal has posted Ext.P1 and P2 to 21.5.2009 for taking evidence. Ext.P3 and P4 are posted to 20.1.2009 for evidence. Naturally evidence of Ext.P3 and P4 will not be taken place on 20.1.2009 as the connected cases are posted to 21.5.2009. Petitioners are aggrieved by the delay in disposing of Ext.P1 to P4. 2. I am satisfied that such lengthy adjournment would not really be proper. In the circumstances, writ W.P.(C).32894/2008 2 petition is disposed of directing the MACT, Neyyattinkara, to take up OP(MV).Nos. 1323, 1324, 1325 and 1326 of 2005 and see that they are posted for trial at least within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
