THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.Krishnan, J. ======================== W.P(C).No.34578 of 2007 ======================== Dated this the 22nd day of November, 2007. JUDGMENT This Writ Petition is filed seeking to direct the Subordinate Judge, Pathanamthitta to dispose of O.S.No.192 of 2005 and connected cases within a time frame. Learned counsel for the writ petitioner had drawn my attention to the order of the Additional District Judge, Pathanamthitta in C.M.A.No.6 of 2006. The learned Additional District Judge has directed that the matter be disposed of within a period of six months from the date of receipt of the order. The said order was passed on 9.2.2007. Now, we are already in the month of November, 2007. Therefore there is some justification for the request made by the writ petitioner. 2. Therefore, I direct the Subordinate Judge, Pathanamthitta to dispose of O.S.No.192 of 2005 and connected cases as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a time frame of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this WP(C) 34578/07 -: 2 :- judgment. I also direct the said court to send a report to the District Judge, if he has not disposed of the matter in time, so that extension of time can be granted by that Court. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N.Krishnan, Judge. ess 24/11
