Pursuant to a direction of this court, the learned Munsiff, Thiruvalla, by his communication dated 8.7.2019 has informed that service is not complete on the first respondent. However, he has undertaken to dispose of the IAs within three months. Having considered the limited prayer, I am inclined to dispose of OP(C) itself, with a direction to the court below to complete service on R1, as expeditiously as possible, and to dispose on merits the IAs, within three moths thereafter or from the date of production of a copy of this judgment, whichever is later. It is made clear that Ext.P3 order of the court below will not affect the day to day affairs of the third petitioner.
