JUDGMENT
The petitioner is the decree holder in O.S No.454
of 2010 on the files of the Court of the Civil Judge
(Junior Division), Nedumangad. The suit was decreed
on 16.07.2014 and the appeal and the second appeal
filed were dismissed confirming the judgment and
decree. The petitioner filed E.P No.70 of 2014 for
execution of the decree and the 1st respondent filed
E.A No.119 of 2024 claiming that they are in
possession of the decree schedule properties and the
decree is not executable.
2. This original petition is filed contending that
the petitioner is physically sick and the matter is
being prolonged and he prays for a direction to the
learned Civil Judge (Junior Division) to dispose of E.A
No.119 of 2024 and E.P No.70 of 2014 in O.S No.454
of 2010, as expeditiously as possible, within a time
frame to be fixed by this Court. It is submitted that 2026:KER:16099 OP(C) NO.265 OF 2026
though an early posting petition has been filed as
Ext.P2 before the Execution Court, the same is not so
far considered.
3. On 04.02.2026, this Court directed the
Registry to call for a report from the Additional Munsiff
Court, Nedumangad as to the minimum time required
to dispose of E.P. No.70 of 2014 and E.A No.119 of
2024. The learned Munsiff has forwarded a report
which reads as follows:-
"E.P 70 of 2014 is filed before this Court seeking to execute the decree in O.S 454 of 2010 in which plaintiff's title over plaint A schedule property was declared and plaintiff was allowed to recover possession of plaintiff B and C schedule properties from the defendants after dismantling the structure in plaint C schedule property. On 24.07.2024, Ameen was deputed for execution of the decree. However, thereafter he submitted a report stating that execution could not be effected due to obstruction caused by about 60 congress workers at the site. Subsequently, E.A 119 of 2024 claim petition was filed, along with applications for appointment of Advocate Commissioner. All the connected applications have since been disposed of. The claim petition in E.A.119 of 2024 presently stands posted for evidence to 24.02.2026.
2026:KER:16099 OP(C) NO.265 OF 2026
In view of the Pendency of the claim petition for recording of evidence and also considering the intervening civil court vacation during April, it is respectfully submitted that a period of 4 months may kindly be granted for disposal of the execution petition."
4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner.
In the nature of the order I propose to pass in this
original petition, notice to the respondents is
dispensed with.
In view of the report received from the Additional
Munsiff Court, Nedumangad, I am of the view that no
orders are necessary in this original petition. The
learned Munsiff shall take earnest steps to dispose of
the matter, as expeditiously as possible.
The original petition is disposed of.
