                      DEVAN RAMACHANDRAN, J.
                  =========================
                        O.P.(C).No. 2078 of 2023
                 ==========================
                 Dated this the 16th day of October, 2023

                                  JUDGMENT

The petitioner seeks that C.M.A.No.37/2022 before the Sub

Court, Nedumangad, be directed to be disposed of within a time

frame to be fixed by this Court.

2. Noticing the afore limited plea of the petitioner, this Court

directed the Registry to obtain a report from the learned Sub Judge,

Nedumangad, which is now available. The learned Sub Judge has

reported that she will be able to dispose of the suit within two months

after completion of the trial steps.

3. Taking note of the afore, I am of the view that summons is not

required to be issued to the respondents because, it will also be in

their interest that the suit is disposed of at the earliest.

In the afore circumstances, I allow this Original Petition, and

direct the learned Sub Judge, Nedumangad, to dispose of

C.M.A.No.37/2022, as expeditiously as is possible, but not later than

two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

I, however, clarify that the Court will give all necessary

opportunities to both sides while doing as afore.
