TO JUDGE MM THOMAS P JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------- O.P(C).No.3278 of 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this 12th day of October, 2011 JUDGMENT Third respondent appears through counsel. Notice to the first respondent is dispensed with in view of the decision I propose to take. 2. Petitioner's sister, it is stated, died in a motor accident and claiming compensation petitioner filed a complaint before the District Legal Service Authority, Ernakulam on 29.04.2005. That complaint was registered as P.L.P.No.402 of 2005. Grievance of petitioner is that the complaint has not so far been disposed of and it is pending for the last six years. Hence, it is prayed that the authority concerned may be directed to dispose of the proceeding within a time limit. 3. Since it is a matter of conciliation, I am not inclined to think that a time limit should be fixed for disposal of the complaint. But, the District Legal Service Authority, Ernakulam shall take into consideration grievance of petitioner that the complaint preferred on 29.04.2005 remain undisposed of and make every endeavour to dispose of the complaint as early as possible. O.P(C).No.3278 of 2011 -: 2 :- This original petition is disposed of with the above direction. (THOMAS P JOSEPH, JUDGE) Sbna/-
