P.BHAVADASAN, J.

------------------------------------------------- Original Petition (Civil) No.652 OF 2015 ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of March, 2015.

J U D G M E N T

The limited prayer made at the time of hearing of the petition is that there may be a direction to Sub Court, Ernakulam which is seized of O.S.No.50/2011 to dispose of Ext.P2 application filed by the petitioner. Ext.P2 is an application seeking appointment of a Commissioner to report certain matters.

2. The grievance of the petitioner is that three years have elapsed and the petition remains pending and in the meanwhile if the suit is listed for trial, that may cause prejudice to her. The petitioner therefore prays that there may be a direction to the court below to consider Ext.P2 petition on merits.

3. In the nature of the order that is proposed to be passed, it is felt that notice to the respondents is unnecessary. This original petition is disposed of directing the court below to take up Ext.P2 application and dispose it of on merits in

O.P.(C) No.652/2015 accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
