SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.4536 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 11th day of February, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that he was ordered to be granted purchase certificate by the first respondent Land Tribunal in its order dated 2.4.1976, in O.A.No.12124/1975. It is stated that against the said order, the father of the 2nd respondent land lord filed an appeal before the appellate authority as A.A.No.60/1994. It is stated that the appellate authority by Ext.P1 order set aside the order dated 2.4.1976 and remitted the matter back to the first respondent for reconsideration and that the matter is still pending without final orders. Complaint of the petitioner is regarding the inordinate delay in finalizing the proceedings in O.A. No.12124/75 pending before the first respondent. Evidently, the proceeding is a long pending one and the matter needs to be expeditiously finalized. In view of WP(c).No.4536/09 /2/ this, I direct the first respondent to finalize the proceedings in O.A.No.12124/75 with notice to the parties as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
