RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: NIL //TRUE COPY// P.A. TO JUDGE skj THOMAS P JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------- O.P(C).No.2792 of 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this 24th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT Respondent in A.S.No.19 of 2009 of the Court of learned Sub Judge, Nedumangad is the petitioner before me seeking a direction for early disposal of that appeal. 2. That appeal arose from the final decree for partition passed as per order on I.A.No.954 of 2007 in O.S.No.551 of 2000 of the Court of learned Principal Munsiff, Nedumangad. Petitioner states that he is aged about 72 years suffering from various illness and wants an early disposal of the case. 3. Without understanding the volume of work of the Court concerned and priority of disposal of older cases I do not think it necessary to issue any direction for time bound disposal. However learned Sub Judge has to take into account the grievance of petitioner who is aged 72 years and suffering from various ailments. Petitioner is permitted to request learned Sub Judge for early disposal of the appeal and if the preliminary steps in the appeal are over and if there is no legal impediment in doing so, learned Sub Judge shall consider the request of petitioner and pass appropriate orders as provided under law. O.P(C).No.2792 of 2011 -: 2 :- This original petition is disposed of with the above direction. (THOMAS P JOSEPH, JUDGE) Sbna/-
