FOLLOWING:
C. JAYACHANDRAN, J.
-----------------------
O.P.(C).No.2428 of 2023
-------------------------
Dated this the 08th day of November, 2023
JUDGMENT
The petitioners herein are the applicants in
Ext.P9 R.P.No.5/2023 in A.S.No.29/2019 pending
before the Principal Sub Court, Kochi. The
petitioners seek expeditious disposal of Ext.P9
petition for restoration and Ext.P10 petition for
condonation of delay.
2. Application was opposed by Adv.C.N.Prabhakaran,
learned Standing Counsel for the respondents 12 and
13.
3. This Court notice that these petitions were
filed in the Month of July, 2023. Restoration is
occasioned only on account of the non-prosecution
of the appeal in question by the appellant. This
Court finds no reason to direct the court below to
O.P.(C)2428/2023
-: 2 :-
expedite the hearing of Exts.P9 and P10 petitions
which were filed only in the year 2023. Such a
direction, if granted, will be contrary to the
interests and aspirations of the parties in other
suits who are waiting in the queue for adjudication
and disposal.
This O.P(C) is dismissed. However, it will be
open for the petitioners to approach the Sub Court
seeking expeditious disposal of the above
interlocutory application.
