KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Tr.P.C. NO. 246 OF 2007 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 17th day of December, 2007. J U D G M E N T This Transfer Petition is filed to transfer O.S.2544/07 pending before the Munsiff's Court, Thrissur to the 1st Addl. District Court, Ernakulam. 1st Addl. District Court, Ernakulam is a Court which is trying and disposing of matters relating to Churches as per the Government notification. Even now it is functioning so though the notification is not extended from time to time. Being an expert Court on Church matters to save time I direct the case O.S.2544/07 be transferred from Munsiff's Court, Thrissur to the 1st Addl. District Court, Ernakulam. The learned counsel for the respondent has brought to my notice that an application was posted for orders and it could not be pronounced on account of the stay granted by this Court. I had also obtained a report from the Munsiff. It is only on account of the stay by this Court it was Tr.P.C. NO. 246 OF 2007 -:2:- not pronounced. Therefore I permit the Munsiff Court to pronounce orders in I.A.9079/07 which was heard by that Court thereafter transfer the case to the 1st Addl. District Court, Ernakulam for joint trial and disposal. The Tr.P.C. is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
