THIS OPC HAVING COME UP FOR ORDERS ON 14.09.2021 UPON PERUSING THE
LETTER DATED 18.8.2021 OF MUNSIFF, NORTH PARAVUR AND THIS COURTS JUDGMENT
DATED 19.7.2017, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING;
(P.T.O)
V.G.ARUN, J.
===================
O.P(C).No.1457 OF 2017
====================
Dated this the 14th day of September, 2021
ORDER
By judgment dated 19.07.2017 the Original Petition is
disposed of, directing the Munsiff Court, North Paravur to
dispose O.S.No.98/2017 within a period of nine months from
the date of filing of the Commissioner's report and plan. Later,
the time limit was extended by three months vide order dated
22.07.2021.
2. By letter dated 18.08.2021, learned Munsiff has sought
further extension of the time limit. In the letter, the reasons
for extension are stated as under;
"This case came before me 1st time on 15.07.2021
and posted for commission report on 19.07.2021. Plaintiff
filed I.A.No.4/2021 on 15.07.2021 for amending the plaint
and the same was allowed on 02.08.2021 and posted on
24.08.2021 for the production of amended plaint.
I.A.No.5/2021 (Petition for prosecution) and I.A.No.6/2021
(Application for appointing advocate commissioner) were
filed on 19.07.2021 by the defendants. I.A.No.6/2021
allowed on 22.07.2021 and the commission report was
filed on 02.08.2021. I.A.No.5/2021 has been posted for
objection and hearing on 24.08.2021"
3. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the
plaintiff seeking extension of time by six months.
4. Learned Counsel for respondents 21 to 27, submitted
that the intention of the petitioner is to protract the suit
endlessly by citing large number of witnesses and submitting
applications.
Having heard the learned Counsel and having considered
the letter of the learned Munsiff, I find the request for
extension by four months to be reasonable. Therefore, the
time limit stipulated by this Court vide judgment dated
19.07.2017, as extended by order dated 22.07.2021, will stand
extended by a further period of four months from today.
