Ext.P4 common order was passed on 16.11.99. It is high time that the Appellate Authority disposed of the appeals expeditiously. If, according to the petitioner, Ext.P4 interim order of injunction has been violated by the respondents, their remedy lies before the Appellate Authority itself. They cannot invoke the discretionary jurisdiction of this Court to enforce the said order on injunction. This Writ Petition is dismissed with a direction to the Appellate Authority (Land Reforms), Thrissur to dispose of the aforesaid appeals expeditiously and at any rate within six months of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Dated this the 30 th day of April, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE sj
