BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/08/2007,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. ----------------------------- WP(C)No.24284 OF 2007 N ----------------------------- Dated this the 9th August, 2007. JUDGMENT The sixth defendant who is a senior citizen has come forward with this writ petition for a direction for expeditious disposal of O.S.493/06 pending before the Munsiff Court II, Kozhikode. The plaintiff is her son and the prayer is for a declaration that a partition effected in the year 1994 is not valid and binding on the plaintiff and that he is entitled to the property by virtue of a will and other reliefs. The apprehension of the mother is that she is aged and unless there is an expeditious disposal it will be quite embarassing for her. The suit is of the year 2006. I am informed that parties have entered appearance and written statements have been filed and steps are completed. When a senior citizen seeks for a relief, preference has to be given to their case and, therefore, I direct the court below that if steps are completed and there is sufficient time, the court shall try to dispose of the matter as expeditiously as possible, bearing in mind the above directions. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N.KRISHNAN Judge jj
