JUDGMENT
This original petition has been filed challenging Ext.P5
order.
2. The petitioner is the plaintiff and the respondents are
the defendants in O.S.No.95/2015 on the files of the Additional
Sub Court, Thrissur (for short 'the trial court'). The suit was one
for money. It is alleged that the 1 st defendant misappropriated
money from the plaintiff company and misutilised it with the aid
of defendants 2 to 4. In respect of the same subject matter, a
criminal case was registered by the CBCID, Ernakulam and the
investigation was going on. When the suit was listed for trial, the
plaintiff filed I.A.No.5/2022 to remove the case from the list on
the ground that the relevant documents relating to the case
were seized by the police in the connected criminal case and
those documents would be available only after the final report in
the criminal case was filed. The learned Munsiff dismissed the
application to remove the case from the list as per Ext.P5. It is
challenging the said order, the petitioner has approached this
Court.
3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner.
There is no appearance for the respondents.
Ext.P5 order is dated 27/5/2022. Since interim stay was
granted by this Court, the suit was not proceeded with. Now
more than two years have been elapsed. In Ext.P4 application
filed by the petitioner to remove the case from the list, it was
stated that the final report in the criminal case would be
submitted in February, 2022 and thereafter the petitioner can
produce the relevant documents. Therefore, the petitioner must
be now in possession of all the documents to be produced.
Hence, this original petition is disposed of with a direction to the
learned Munsiff to list O.S.No.95/2015 for trial and dispose of the
same, in accordance with law.
