=============================================== O.P.(C).No.2957 of 2014, C.R.P.Nos.709, 710 & 711 of 2014 =============================================== Dated this the 25th day of June, 2015
J U D G M E N T
The C.R.Ps are filed on the orders passed by the court below, thereby condoning the delay in filing A.S.No.58 of 2014, A.S.No.59 of 2014 and A.S.No.60 of 2014. In A.S.No.58 of 2014 there was a delay of 35 days and in the other appeals, there were delay of 88 days each.
2. The O.P.(C) No.2957 of 2014 is filed by challenging Exhibits P3 and P4 orders. Exhibit P3 order is in respect of I.A.No.1768 of 2014 in I.A.No.1107 of 2014 in A.S.No.58 of 2014. The said I.A. was one seeking to call for the A diary maintained by the Munsiff Magistrate's Court, Ponnani in the suit. Exhibit P4 is in respect of I.A.No.1948 of 2014 in A.S.No.58 of 2014. The said I.A. was filed seeking to
O.P.(C).2957/14,C.R.P.Nos.709, 710 & 711 of 2014 summon the Lawyer practising before the Munsiff Magistrate's Court, Ponnani for examining him as a witness in I.A.No.1107 of 2014. It seems that the court below has rightly dismissed I.A.No.1948 of 2014 through Exhibit P4 order and the said order does not call for any interference at all.
3. As far as Exhibit P3 is concerned, it seems that the court below has rightly denied the request of calling for the A diary from the court below. If at all the petitioner wanted to produce the copy of the A diary, the petitioner could have done it. At this fag end of the matter, Exhibit P3 also does not require any re-consideration at all.
4. With regard to the delay condoned by the court below in the other two appeals, it has come out that the delay has been properly explained and therefore, the impugned orders in C.R.Ps do not require any reconsideration.
5. The parties have been fighting tooth and nail in the appeals. Parties have entered appearance also. In such
O.P.(C).2957/14,C.R.P.Nos.709, 710 & 711 of 2014 case, the court below can dispose of the three appeals as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one year from the date of receipt of a copy of this common judgment.
In the result, with a direction to the court below to dispose of these appeals as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one year from the date of receipt of a copy of this common judgment, these Original Petition (Civil) and the C.R.Ps stand dismissed.
