Dated this the 27th day of October, 2023
J U D G M E N T
The petitioner herein is the plaintiff in O.S.
No.550/2005 on the files of the Third Additional
Munsiff & Rent Controller, Ernakulam. The short
grievance of the petitioner is that a suit of the
year 2005 has not been finally disposed of even
now. The petitioner seeks a direction for early
disposal of the suit.
2. This Court called for a report from the
Munsiff concerned. Accordingly, report dated
25.10.2023 is made available before this Court, as
O.P.(C).NO.2254 of 2023
..7..
per which the Munsiff seeks six months' time to
dispose of the suit.
3. Having regard to the pendency of cases before
that court, as also, the priorities to be given to
cases of senior citizens etc., this Court is of
the opinion that the period sought for by the
Munsiff is reasonable.
Accordingly, this original petition is allowed,
directing the lea
rned Munsiff to try dispose of O.S. No.550/2005
within a period of six months from the date of
receipt of a copy of this judgment.
