PETITIONER: ------------ K.M.JOSEPH , S/O.MATHEW, KANNALAYIL HOUSE, KAIPUZHA, KOTTAYAM. BY ADV. SRI.M.J.THOMAS RESPONDENT: ------------- N.VIJAYAKUMAR S/O.ARAVINDAKSHAN PILLAI, KOTTAVATHUKKAL HOUSE, KIZHAKKUM BHAGAM KARA, ETTUMANOOR, KOTTAYAM. BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.P. Balachandran, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 11971 of 2007 ---------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of April, 2007 JUDGMENT Heard counsel for the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he has constructed a building in his property investing more than Rs.15 lakhs, Ettumanoor Grama Panchayat has not so far numbered the building despite the fact that construction of the building is completed in all respects. It is submitted that numbering is not done only for the reason that though O.S. 49/2004 filed before the Munsiff's Court, Ettumanoor by the respondent is dismissed, A.S. No.127/2006 filed by him before the District Court is still pending. The petitioner therefore, seeks for a direction being issued to the District Judge to dispose of A.S. 127/2006, at the earliest. The prayer made is just and reasonable. In the result, I direct the District Judge, Kottayam where A.S.127/2006 is pending to dispose of the said appeal as expeditiously as possible, and in any event within three months from today. The petitioner shall be at liberty to produce a copy of this judgment before the District Judge, Kottayam so as to enable him to comply with the above direction. Issue copy of this judgment to the counsel for the petitioner on application, as per rules, as expeditiously as possible. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
