J U D G M E N T This petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for a direction to Sub Court, Attingal, to dispose A.S.No.76 of 2006 within a time frame. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner was heard. 3. The argument of the learned counsel is that appeal was filed in 2006, and still the appeal is not disposed. When older appeals are pending, the learned Sub Judge cannot be found fault for not disposing a later appeal. Considering the fact that appeal is pending from 2006, learned Sub Judge is directed to dispose A.S.No.76 of 2006 as expeditiously as possible. The writ petition is disposed as above. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE nj.
