JUDGMENT
This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the
Subordinate Judge’s Court, Kottarakkara to dispose of
O.S.42/03 pending before it within a time frame. A
perusal of the writ petition would reveal that there was a
direction by this Court to dispose of the matter one year
back within a period of three months and the suit was
dismissed for default and thereafter restoration
application was filed which was kept pending for some
months and ultimately restored. Now the writ petitioner
apprehends further delay in disposal of the case. Since
the matter was once listed for trial and dismissed for
default, it is clear that it would have ripened for trial
at that stage. Taking note of the direction of this Court
for an expeditious disposal it is the duty of the court
below to dispose it at the earliest. Therefore, the writ
petition is allowed and the Subordinate Judge, Kottarakkara
is directed to dispose of O.S.42/2003 pending before it
within a time frame of three months.
