P4: COPY OF THE APPLICATION, I.A.6520/2002 IN O.S.155/1983 BEFORE THE MUNSIFF'S COURT, NEYYATTINKARA DTD. 19/11/2002. RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE Kss THOMAS P. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- O.P.(C) No.2724 of 2011 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of August, 2011. JUDGMENT Petitioners are the legal heirs of deceased 13th and 15th defendants in O.S.No.155 of 1983 of the court of learned Additional Munsiff-I, Neyyattinkara. That is a suit for partition which ended in a dismissal. Plaintiff in the suit filed A.S.No.686 of 1994 before learned Sub Judge, Neyyattinkara. That appeal was allowed in part and a preliminary decree was passed. Defendants 6 to 11, additional defendants 52 and 53 and the legal heirs of defendants 4 and 5 filed S.A.No.827 of 2000 in this Court. This Court by Ext.P3, judgment remanded the appeal to the court of learned Sub Judge for fresh decision on the appeal (according to the learned counsel for petitioners, with regard to the shares of the appellants in S.A.No.827 of 2000). It is contended that with respect to the share of 13th defendant, petitioners filed I.A.No.6520 of 2002 (in O.S.No.155 of 1983) to pass a supplemental preliminary decree but that application is pending disposal. The prayer is for a direction to the learned Additional Munsiff-I to dispose of that application as early as possible. 2. Without knowing the volume of work of the court concerned and the steps if any is required to be completed on I.A.No.6520 of 2002 or whether pendency of the appeal in any way affects disposal of the application, no direction for time bound disposal could be issued. But, if disposal of I.A.No.6520 OP(C) No.2724/2011 2 of 2002 is not in any way connected with the appeal pending before learned Sub Judge, the preliminary steps on that application are completed and there is no legal impediment in disposing of the said application, learned Additional Munsiff-I has to make every endeavour to dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible. Resultantly this Original Petition is disposed of directing learned Additional Munsiff-I, Neyyattinkara to dispose of I.A.No.6520 of 2002 in O.S.No.155 of 1983 as expeditiously as possible if steps on that application are completed and there is no legal impediment in disposing of the same due to the pendency of A.S.No.686 of 1994 before learned Sub Judge, Neyyattinkara or any other reason.
