JUDGMENT
Dated this the 30th day of June, 2021
The petitioner, who is a senior citizen and the judgment
debtor in EP No. 62 of 2020 in O.S No.1 of 2015 on the files of the Subordinate Judge's Court, Palakkad, seeks expeditious disposal of Ext.P2 application filed by him under Order 21 Rule 64 r/w Section 150 of CPC. In the report called for by this Court, learned Sub Judge has stated that the respondent has entered appearance and the EP stands posted to 30.06.2021 for counter and inquiry. Learned Judge has requested four months time from 30.06.2021 for disposing the EP. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits that, considering the circumstances now prevailing in Palakkad District due to the spread of Covid-19 pandemic, a reasonable time limit of six months can be fixed. Accordingly, the original petition is disposed of directing the Principal Sub Judge Palakkad to take earnest efforts to dispose of Ext.P2 petition filed in E.P No. 62 of 2021, within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this
judgment.
