THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/06/2010, ALONG WITH WP(C) NO.19906/2010 THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.(C) Nos.19897 & 19906 of 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of June, 2010. JUDGMENT Petitioners in these Writ Petitions seek a direction to the Land Reforms Appellate Authority, Kannur (for short, “the Appellate Authority”) for expeditious disposal of A.A.Nos.73 of 2007 and 74 of 2007 arising from separate orders passed by the Land Tribunal, Payyannur. Petitioners are appellants in the said appeals. It is stated that respondents in both the appeals remained absent inspite of due service of notice, in the usual course it will take much time for the Appellate Authority to dispose of the appeals and delay in disposal of the appeals would prejudice petitioners. Hence these petitions. Having regard to the circumstances stated by learned counsel, I direct the Appellate Authority to dispose of the appeals as expeditiously as possible after ensuring that respondents in the appeal are duly served and had sufficient time for appearance before the Appellate Authority. Writ Petitions are disposed of accordingly. THOMAS P.JOSEPH, Judge. cks
