THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.C.No.19130 of 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this 21st day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT This writ petition is for a direction for early disposal of O.S.No.564 of 2008 of the court of learned Munsiff, Tiruvalla. Petitioners claimed to be members of a Sangam and to have right to participate in the Boat Race and Vallam Sadhya in connection with the Boat Race. Respondents without hearing petitioners decided to suspend petitioners for 3 years and prevented them from participating in the Boat Race and hence the suit. It is stated that learned Munsiff had issued a direction to the respondent to reconsider the decision which was taken on 09-11-2008 after hearing petitioners also, but that has not been complied. Grievance of petitioners is that though they filed I.A.Nos.293 of 2010 and 294 of 2010 to advance hearing of the case and for an early disposal, learned Munsiff has dismissed the application to advance hearing. I.A.No.294 of 2010 is posted for enquiry along with the suit. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case I do not think it necessary for this court to interfere in the matter and issue a direction for time bound disposal. However, considering the grievance expressed by learned counsel for petitioner I permit W.P.C.No.19130 of 2010 : 2 : them to request learned Munsiff to dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible and if any such request is made learned Munsiff shall consider that request considering the schedule of work in that court and pendancy of other urgent and old matters required to the disposed of without delay. It will also be open to the court below to try for settlement of the dispute between the parties if they are agreeable by sending the matter to the Adalath or such other forum as the law provides. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (THOMAS P JOSEPH, JUDGE) Sbna/-
