We do not propose to go into the merits of the matter. The grievance of the petitioner is that the first respondent is not finally disposing of Ext.P1 application submitted under Section 13(2) of the Kerala Buildings ( Lease and Rent Control) Act 1965 despite the lapse of more than six months. It is stated that the original landlords who are respondents 2 to 4 are not contesting the matter and it is only the assignee landlord, the 5th respondent, who is contesting. The prayer in Ext.P1 is that the main gate of the premises taken on lease by the petitioner is allegedly locked up by the landlord with the object of compelling the tenant to vacate. 2. Sri.Basant Balaji, learned senior Government Pleader who was directed to take notice on behalf of the first respondent submitted that in view of the on going elections to the Parliament, it may be difficult for the first respondent, who is the local Tahsildar to dispose WPC.No.10618/09 2 of Ext.P1 before the end of June 2009. Under the above circumstances, we dispose of the writ petition directing the first respondent to enquire into and dispose of Ext.P1 in accordance with law at the earliest and at any rate before the 1st of July 2009.
