JUDGMENT
Anil K. Narendran, J.
The petitioner filed R.C.P.No.5 of 2018 before the Rent Control Court (Munsiff), Thaliparamba under Sections 11(2)
(b) and 11(3) of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, seeking eviction of the respondents herein-tenants from the petition schedule building bearing No.T.M.C.XI-1768. In the said Rent Control Petition, which is one filed on 12.01.2018, the tenants entered appearance and filed counter on 01.01.2019. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Rent Control Court is yet to dispose of R.C.P.No.5 of 2018. Hence, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing this original petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, seeking an order directing the Rent Control Court to dispose of R.C.P.No.5 of 2018, expeditiously.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner- landlord. Considering the nature of relief proposed to be granted, service of notice on the respondents-tenants is dispensed with.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner-landlord -3- OP(RC)No.131 of 2022 would submit that, since the Rent Control Petition is one filed on 12.01.2018 and the petitioner is a senior citizen aged 68 years, a time bound disposal of R.C.P.No.5 of 2018 is highly essential, especially when the tenants have already filed their counter on 01.01.2019.
Having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner-landlord, this original petition is disposed of by directing the Rent Control Court, Thaliparamba to finally dispose of R.C.P.No.5 of 2018, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
