BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.C. NO. 1059 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 9th day of January, 2008. J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed seeking for a direction to the Land Tribunal, Kozhikode to complete the proceedings in O.A.4/94 and take a final decision in the above matter within a time frame as directed by this Court on a earlier occasion. As per order in CRP 2285/00 which was disposed of on 14th January, 2004 a direction was given to the Tribunal to dispose of the matter within a maximum period of four months from the date of parties appearing before the Tribunal. Unfortunately almost four years are over and the matter remains undisposed of. The Tribunal is a statutory authority which is expected to comply with the directions of this Court and it is not done. I do not want to say anything at this stage on that conduct but I direct the Land Tribunal, Kozhikode to dispose of O.A.4/94 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
