THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE & C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JJ. ------------------------ W.P.(C).No. 18865 OF 2010 ------------------------ Dated this the 17th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Pius C.Kuriakose, J. The petitioner, an officer in the Indian Navy, has filed this writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the local Rent Control Court for an early disposal of Ext.P1. It is conceded before us that the respondent/tenant is yet to file his statement of objections to the Rent Control Petition. That being the situation, it may not be proper on our part to issue directions to the Court for early disposal. We are sure that the learned Rent Control Court will be mindful of the statutory time frame set by Section 24 of Act 2 of 1965 and will issue appropriate directions to the respondent so as to ensure that the respondent files a statement of objections immediately. Thereafter, the learned Rent Control Court will certainly ensure that the matter is not unnecessarily delayed. We are also sure that not more than one adjournment will be granted for pre-trial steps and that needful WPC.No.18865/2010 2 will be done by the Rent Control Court for finally disposing of Ext.P1 rent control petition at the earliest. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE C.K.ABDUL REHIM , JUDGE dpk
