JUDGMENT
The original petition is filed, inter-alia, to direct the
Court of the 2nd Additional Subordinate Judge, Thrissur
to consider and dispose of EA No.189/2023 in EA
No.889/2022 in EP No.268/2017 in O.S.No.1749/2011
(Ext.P3) within a reasonable time period.
2. The concise case of the petitioner is that he has
filed EA No.889/2022 in EA No.424/2022 in EP
No.268/2017 against the respondents. The petitioner is
not a party in the suit or execution petition. The
petitioner had filed OS No.817/2012 before the Court of
the Subordinate Judge, Irinjalakuda, against the 2nd
respondent for realisation of money. In the said suit, an
order of attachment before judgment was passed. Later,
the petitioner came to learn, in the present suit, the 1 st
respondent has bid in the auction conducted in EP
No.268/2017. Hence the petitioner filed EA No.889/2022
(Ext.P1), to set aside the sale. However, the application OP(C) NO. 637 OF 2023
was dismissed for default. Hence, the petitioner has filed
Ext.P3 application to restore Ext.P1 application. The
petitioner apprehends that before the consideration of
Ext.P3 application, the court below would deliver the
property to the 1 st respondent. Hence, the original
petition.
3. Heard; Sri.A.Balagopalan, the learned Counsel
appearing for the petitioner. Even though notice has
been served on the respondents by special messenger,
there is no appearance for them.
4. In the light of the pleadings and materials on
record and taking into consideration the fact that Ext.P3
application is pending consideration before the court
below and the court below is proceeding with the
execution of the decree in EP No.268/2017, I am of the
view that the court below is to be directed to consider
and dispose of Ext.P3 application within a reasonable
time period and until such time to defer further OP(C) NO. 637 OF 2023
proceedings in EP No.268/2017.
Resultantly, in exercise of the supervisory powers of
this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India,
I direct the Court of the Additional Subordinate Judge,
Thrissur, to consider and dispose of Ext.P3 application,
in accordance with law and as expeditiously as possible,
at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date
of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment after
affording both sides an opportunity of being heard. Until
such time orders are passed on Ext.P3 application,
further proceedings in EP No.268/2017 shall be
deferred.
