THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C). No. 30128 OF 2008 --------------------- Dated this the 14th day of October, 2008 JUDGMENT The 1st respondent in A.S.1/06 of the Subordinate Judge's Court, Thiruvalla, has come forward with this writ petition for a direction for expeditious disposal of the suit. It is averred that the writ petitioner herein is a 73 year old senior citizen and hence the prayer is made to dispose of the case at the earliest. 2. There is considerable force in the said contention. But, without knowing the workload of that court, it may not be proper on the part of this court to issue a time bound direction. Therefore, I permit the writ petitioner herein to move an application for an early hearing of A.S.1/06, pending before the Subordinate Judge's Court, Thiruvalla. The court below shall take into consideration the fact that the writ petitioner is a senior citizen, consider his request sympathetically and dispose of the appeal as expeditiously as possible. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE vps 2
