The petitioner claims to be one of the members of Mahajanayogam and the beneficiary of Alappuzha Anantha Narayanapuram Thuravoor Thirumala Devaswom, which is a trust. The trust is being run on a scheme framed in OS No.205/1070 ME by the District Court, Alappuzha. Later, several modifications have been brought about in the scheme as per the decree of the District Court, Alappuzha in OS No.8/58. 3. Several allegations have been raised against the second respondent, which are mentioned in paragraph OPC 1032/11 2 2 of the petition. The petitioner and two others filed IA No.720/08 in OS No.8/58, pointing out the above facts and seeking to take over the administration of the first respondent trust. The grievance of the petitioner is that the said IA is pending for a long time and no final orders are passed thereon. Therefore, he seeks for a direction to the District Court, Alappuzha to consider and dispose of the said IA as expeditiously as possible. 4. In the nature of the orders that are proposed to be passed in this petition, notice to the respondents is dispensed with. After having gone through the petition and having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, it is felt that it is only appropriate that the court below is directed to dispose of Ext.P1 I.A., which has been pending since 2008, at the earliest. Accordingly, this petition is allowed, directing the District Court, Alappuzha to take up IA No.720/08 and dispose of the same as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, on or before 26.03.2011. OPC 1032/11 3 A copy of this judgment shall be sent directly to the District Court, Alappuzha immediately for compliance of the above direction. P.Bhavadasan, Judge sta OPC 1032/11 4
