SRI.K.S.BHARATHAN FOR R1& 2 THIS CIVIL REVISION PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR , J. ------------------------------------------- C.R.P. No. 48 of 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd February, 2010 ORDER The plaintiff in O.S. No. 110 of 2007 on the file of the Sub Court, Nedumangad is the petitioner herein. Eventhough the suit was one for return of advance amount, the court below granted a decree for specific performance of the agreement for sale and directed the petitioner to deposit the balance sale consideration of Rs. 1,43,65,000/- within three months. The petitioner filed an application for extension of time and the same was granted but subject to a liability to pay interest at 3% from the date of suit and thereafter at the rate of 6% till realisation. It is the said order which is assailed in this Revision. 2. After the appearance of the respondent, it was submitted at the bar that there is every likelyhood of the matter being squared up between the parties if an opportunity be given to C.R.P. No. 48 of 2010 -:2:- explore the possibility of a settlement before the Lokh Adalath functioning under the Nedumangad Taluk. Such being the position, I do not think that the matter need be kept pending before this Court any longer. The matter is, accordingly, remitted to the court below namely Sub court, Nedumangad with a direction to refer the parties to the Lokh Adalath for a settlement. The impugned order dated 12-1-2010 in I.A. Nos. 1249/09 and 1250/09 in the suit shall be kept in abeyance till 20-2-2010 or till a settlement is arrived at whichever is earlier. The matter shall be placed before the Lokh Adalath on 13-2-2010. The matter can thereafter be disposed of either in terms of the impugned order, if the matter is not settled in the Lokh Adalath, or in terms of the settlement. This C.R.P. is disposed of as above.
