The Land Tribunal allowed the application of the 3rd respondent against which the petitioner preferred A.A.39/1990. The appellate authority issued notice to the respondents in the appeal. But for several years in spite of 50 posting dates, as contended by the petitioner, appeal was not disposed of. Petitioner approached this Court in O.P.22955/1996 aggrieved by the delay in the disposal of the appeal. Same led to Ext.P2 judgment, giving three months' time. It seems that thereafter, now the petitioner has been informed that the appellate records are missing. Hence this writ petition seeking appropriate reliefs. W.P.(C).7950/2009 2 2. Learned Government Pleader submits that the records were transmitted from the office of the appellate authority, Alappuzha to the appellate authority, Thrissur. It seems that the records are now missing. Steps are taken to reconstitute the records. This shall be done within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Submission is recorded. 3. Once records are reconstituted, appeal shall be disposed of without further delay, at any rate within six months from the date of reconstitution of the records. Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to extend the maximum co-operation necessary to see that the appellate records are reconstituted. Subject to the above, writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
