O R D E R

This writ petition has been filed, seeking a direction to the respondent to dispose of the appeal filed against her in Na.Ka.No.A7/1757/2014 within the stipulated period.

2. Mr.J.Gunaseelan Muthiah, learned Government Advocate takes notice for the respondent. By consent, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.

The case of the petitioner is that one Syed Jamaludeen / Manager of one Hasvathul Hasana Muslim Sangam had filed an appeal before the respondent, in which, she has been added as the respondent, for cancellation of patta and change of patta in the name of Sangam. Since the said appeal has been kept pending since 2014 without any further progress, she has submitted a representation dated 17.11.2017 to the respondent for early disposal of the appeal, as its pendency causes much prejudice to her. Since no action has been taken on the representation, the petitioner is before this Court with the above prayer.
