These writ petitions are filed by the landlord requesting that RCA Nos.100/08, 102/08 & 104/2008 preferred by him to the Rent Control Appellate Authority, Thrissur be directed to be heard and disposed of on an early date. The Rent Control Petitions filed by the petitioner in respect of three rooms in a larger building belonging to him on various grounds were dismissed by the Rent Control Court, Chalakkudy by a common judgment. According to the petitioner, the Rent Control Appeals were preferred by him as early as on 20th December, 2008 and despite the lapse of about one year, the RCAs have not been disposed of yet. 2. We have very reliable information that consequent on the notification of the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Irinjalakuda as an Additional District and Session Judge – cum – Rent Control Appellate Authority, the Rent Control Appeals (RCA WPC.Nos.32685/2009 & others 2 Nos.100/2008,102/08 & 104/2008) preferred by the petitioner before the Rent Control Appellate Authority, Thrissur, have been made over to the Additional District and Session Judge cum Rent Control Appellate Authority, Irinjalakuda. Under the above circumstances, direction regarding expeditious disposal of the appeals are to be given to the Rent Control Appellate Authority, Irinjalakuda. The learned counsel for the petitioner Sri. Vinod Madhavan is not in a position to inform as to whether the appeals have been renumbered by the Appellate Authority, Irinjalakuda. Under the above circumstances, we are inclined to dispose of these writ petitions issuing the following directions; The Rent Control Appellate Authority ( Additional District & Session Court, Irinjalakuda), is directed to register RCA Nos.100/2008, 102/2008 and 104/2008 of the Rent Control Appellate Authority, Thrissur on its files as soon as the records relating to the RCAs are received on transfer from Thrissur and to ensure that all the three WPC.Nos.32685/2009 & others 3 RCAs are disposed of early and at any rate within three months of receiving the records relating to the RCAs from the Thrissur Court. It is needless to mention that disposal of the RCAs by the Appellate Authority, Irinjalakuda should be in accordance with law. PIUS C.KURIAKOSE,JUDGE K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE dpk
