He seeks an expeditious disposal of the suit submitting that the suit arose from a petition numbered as P.O.P 27/2001 that is nearly 8 years ago, and after permission being granted to the plaintiff to sueas an indigent person, the suit was taken on file. Suit is one for damages and compensation in which almost all his properties are now placed under attachment on the application moved for the plaintiff, according to the petitioner. Notice was ordered on the petition to the respondents, and the petitioner was also permitted to serve notice on the counsel for the plaintiff and other defendants in the suit. A memo has been filed that notice has been served to the counsel as directed. Though the respondents have W.P.(C).No.15147 OF 2009 2 not entered appearance I find due service has been effected, and it is so declared. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. Having regard to the nature of the relief claimed, a report was called from the learned Sub Judge to ascertain whether the suit is ripe for trial and if so, is it ready for disposal. The learned Sub Judge has reported that the suit now stands for framing of issues and it can be disposed on an early date. Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel and also the report of the learned Sub Judge, I direct the court below to dispose the suit as expeditiously as possible, at any rate before the closing of the court for the christmas vacation. Send a copy of the judgment to the court below forthwith. Writ petition is closed. Sd/- S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, JUDGE //TRUE COPY// P.A TO JUDGE vdv
