BY / THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN , J ========================== W.P.(C) NO. 24835 OF 2007 ========================== Dated this the 16th day of August, 2007. JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the learned Munsiff, Cherthala to dispose of I.A. No. 1778/2007 in O.S. No. 428/2007 at the earliest. It is true that Order 39 Rule 3A prescribes a time limit of 30 days to dispose of injunction application unless there are sufficient grounds to extend the time. Though it is averred in the writ petition that the matter has been heard, learned counsel submits that it is not heard so far. The purport and the intention of the legislature in Order 39 Rule 3A has to be respected and implemented by the court after hearing the matter. Therefore, I direct the Munsiff, Cherthala to dispose of the said application at the earliest, if possible, before the court close for the onam holidays or at least immediately on the reopening of the court after the holidays. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. rv
