THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.P.BALACHANDRAN, J. ------------------------------------------------ W. P. C. No.31722 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 10th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Heard the counsel for the petitioner. Prayer of the petitioner is to issue direction to the Land Reforms Appellate Authority, Alappuzha to dispose of A.A.62/2000 on his file within a time frame. 2. It is seen that vide Ext.P3 order dt.24/02/05 in W.P.C.16629/04, this Court has directed the Appellate Authority, Alappuzha to dispose of A.A.34/91 within a period of 45 days from the date on which a copy of that judgment is produced before him. It appears that even before the said direction was issued vide Ext.P3 judgment the appeal had been renumbered as A.A.62/2000. It is not known whether the Tribunal was appraised of the direction issued by this Court vide Ext.P3 judgment. If the Tribunal is not appraised of W. P. C. No.31722 of 2008 -2- the direction, the petitioner may do so. If it is a case where the Tribunal refused to comply with the directions even after he was appraised of Ext.P3 direction, the remedy lies in moving for contempt. A direction as is given in Ext.P3 judgment cannot be issued one after another and no purpose is to be served by obtaining such orders repeatedly. 3. This Writ Petition is dismissed.
