He initiated execution proceedings and brought an item to sale. Overruling the request to further adjourn the matter, the executing Court had confirmed the sale long ago. The facts remains that the petitioner is yet to get the sale certificate. One fails to understand as to how the issuance of the sale certificate could be inordinately delayed though the sale was confirmed on 27.4.2004. Nearly 5 years thereafter, the petitioner, a senior citizen aged 84 years is not be made to waiting any more. Accordingly the Sub Court Thodupuzha is hereby directed to take up LAR No.147/84 pending in execution for issue the certificate following the sale confirmed and do the needful within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
