BY THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: sts P.BHAVADASAN, J. ------------------------------------- OP(C) No.102 of 2011 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of March 2011 Judgment The limited prayer in this Original Petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is for a direction to the Munsiff's Court, Punalur to take up IA No.322/09 in OS No.64/09 pending before it and dispose of the same in accordance with law. 2. The petitioner is the first plaintiff in OS No.604/09 before the Munsiff's Court, Punalur. He has filed IA No.322/09 in the said suit for appointment of a Receiver. According to the petitioner, after several postings, the said petition was heard on two occasions, but so far, no orders have been passed thereon. He points out that the delay defeats the purpose, for which the petition had been filed. He, therefore, prays that there may be a direction to the Munsiff's Court, Punalur to dispose of the petition as early as possible. 3. Though notice has been served on the respondents, none appears for them. Copy of the B-Diary produced by the petitioner shows that there have been several OP(C) 102/11 2 postings for IA No.322/09 and it was heard atleast on two occasions. One fails to understand why orders have not been passed on the said petition so far. One should remember that it was filed in the year 2009. 4. The prayer of the petitioner seems to be just and reasonable. In the result, there will be a direction to the Munsiff's Court, Punalur to take up IA No.322/09 in OS No.604/09 and dispose of the same in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. The Original Petition is disposed of as above. P.Bhavadasan, Judge sta OP(C) 102/11 3
