          Dated this the 29th day of January, 2009

                        JUDGMENT

The petitioner is the plaintiff in

O.S.768/05 on the file of the Munsiff’s Court,

Kodungallur. It is submitted that the suit was

filed for fixation of boundary and for

injunction and that on 12/01/09 the petitioner

filed I.A.90/09 before the trial court to

appoint an Advocate Commissioner to measure

the property with the help of a Surveyor while

the suit stood posted for trial in the special

list on 14/01/09; and that the court below as

per order dt.20/01/09 dismissed the said

application holding that even though the

petitioner had sufficient time he had not

taken any step to have the property measured

by a Surveyor and that there is negligence on

the side of the petitioner to take steps to

have the property measured though the main

W. P. C. No.3114 of 2009 -2-

prayer in the suit is for fixation of boundary

and that now the suit stands posted for

judgment to 31/01/09. What the petitioner

wants is to have I.A.90/09 filed in the court

below being allowed reversing the order of

dismissal of the said I.A. vide Ext.P3 order

dt.20/01/09.

2. It is seen that the suit was filed as

early as in 2005. Even at the time of filing

of the suit as observed by the court below the

plaintiff and his lawyer was aware that for

fixing the boundary of the scheduled property,

property has to be measured and boundary has

to be fixed and for the purpose a proper plan

has to be got down. An application for the

purpose of measuring out the property was

filed only on 12/01/09 when the suit was in

the list on 14/01/09 which shows that the

petitioner and his counsel was culpably

W. P. C. No.3114 of 2009 -3-

negligent in the matter of prosecuting the

case. There is no reason for this Court to

interfere in the matter when the 11th hour also

is over.

3. This Writ Petition is dismissed.

JUDGE
