J U D G M E N T

Petitioner is the defendant No.40 in O.S.No.67 of 1995 which is a suit for partition. Defendants 26 and 27 were set ex parte. They filed application to set aside preliminary decree passed in the suit. That was dismissed. In O.P.No.2711 of 2011 by Ext.P6 judgment this court set aside the order and direct the trial court to dispose of the application in accordance with law. The complaint is that the trial court has not disposed of the application so far. The request is to direct the trial court to dispose of the application without delay.

2.

Heard.

3.

I think the request is reasonable. This court passed Ext.P6 judgment in December 2012. Even after more than two years the applications have not been disposed of. So it is only proper that the trial court is directed to dispose of the applications within three months.

In the result, the trial court is directed to dispose of

O.P.(C)No.2283 of 2015 I.A.Nos1280 of 2004 and 1281 of 2004 within three months if service on all the parties is complete. K. ABRAHAM MATHEW JUDGE R.AV
