----------------------------------- R.P.No.115 of 2014 in WP(C) No.37390 of 2009 and C.M.Appl.No.56 of 2014 in R.P.No.115 of 2014 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 5th day of February, 2015

O R D E R

Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.

1.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2.Though there is delay of 407 days in filing this review petition, the fundamental issue is as to whether this Court had acted appropriately in fixing the time limit of one month for institution of a suit, when the law governing such a suit prescribes two months' prior notice. The error to that extent is so apparent on the order sought to be reviewed. That needs to be set aside to secure the ends of justice. It appears that the review petitioner filed a suit. That was held to be not maintainable in view of the absence of the notice as noted above. An appeal was carried. That is stated to be pending before this Court. We see that sufficient grounds are, therefore, shown to condone the delay and to have the application for review allowed vacating any requirement to file

RP 115/14 -2the suit within one month as stated in the judgment sought to be reviewed. We do so. This means that the directions issued through the judgment dated 28.09.2010, which is sought to be reviewed, regarding the management, in the absence of any suit will be co-terminus with the discharge of Ext.P18, either by efflux of time or by judicial intervention without any period of time as stated in the judgment sought to be reviewed. Therefore, the C.M.Application is allowed. The review petition is ordered accordingly.

(THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE) (P.BHAVADASAN, JUDGE) jg
