J U D G M E N T
Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.
1.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned standing counsel for the Wakf Board.
2.This original petition is filed invoking Article 227 of the Constitution of India, primarily requiring an expeditious consideration and disposal of a suit pending before the Wakf Tribunal, Kollam. Through an earlier order, the Bench had called for a report from the Wakf Tribunal. The learned Tribunal has reported that the suit can be disposed of within a period of three months after filing the written statements by the defendants.
3.The substance of the litigation before the court below relates
O.P.(Wakf).27/2015 to an election and a decree on the basis of which, election has to be conducted. The election is already over and the suit to set aside the earlier decree on the ground of fraud is yet to be adjudicated. We are of the view that no specific time frame can be fixed by this Court for the Tribunal to adjudicate such a suit. Though we record the request on behalf of the petitioner that the Tribunal may expeditiously consider the suit pending at that end, the learned Tribunal will sympathetically consider that request of the petitioner.
Original petition ordered accordingly.
