JUDGMENT Petitioners are parties to S.M.Nos.87 and 88 of 1998 before the Land Tribunal, Thiruvananthapuram. Though the number of the proceedings may indicate that the same were initiated in the year 1998, learned counsel for petitioner states that proceedings were initiated in the year, 1976. Petitioners are seeking purchase certificates for properties referred to in the said proceedings and inspite of waiting for long they were not successful. Learned counsel submits that report of the authorised officer has already been obtained by the Land Tribunal. Petitioners request for a direction to the Land Tribunal to dispose of the proceedings at the earliest. I heard learned Government Pleader who took notice for respondent. 2. Having regard to the circumstances stated by learned counsel the Land Tribunal, Thiruvananthapuram is directed to dispose of S.M.Nos.87 and 88 of 1998 as early as possible. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. THOMAS P.JOSEPH, Judge. cks
