(C) NO. 28444 of 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 6-10-2008 JUDGMENT Petitioners who are the plaintiffs in O.S. 270 of 1995 on the file of the Sub court, Kottarakkara seek a direction to the Sub Court to expeditiously dispose of the said suit within a time frame to be fixed by this Court. The said suit filed on 13-12-1995 is inter alia for the dissolution of a family partnership run under the name and style of “Jayabharath Financiers”, for settlement of accounts and for consequential injunction and other reliefs. The written statement was filed by respondents 1 to 7 herein on 16-7- 1999 and the issues were framed on 26-10- 2005. The case was included in the special list and posted for evidence on 10-08-2006. After the conclusion of trial, the arguments were partly heard on 3-3-2008. 2. Going by the report dated 3-10-2008 submitted W.P. (C) NO. 28444 of 2008 -:2:- by the Sub Judge, Kottarakkara, the case now stands posted for further hearing on 21-10-2008. That court may be a heavy court having huge pendency of old cases. But, that is not a reason why the present suit filed 13 years ago should continue to pend before that court endlessly. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Sub Court, Kottarakkara to dispose of the suit O.S. No. 270 of 1995 expeditiously and at any rate within three months of receipt of a copy of this judgment. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
