Explanatory Note

(This does not form part of the notification, but is

intended to indicate its general purport.)

With a view to obviate the delay in disposal of

cases, the Chief Justices’ Conference, 2006 resolved that

the High Courts may consider devising a suitable

mechanism to provide for the termination of stay of

proceedings before the trial court, after the expiry of

a reasonable period, unless extended for adequate and

special reasons.

Though the draft Rules in this respect were

published in the Kerala Gazette No. 25 dated 19th June

2007, no objection or suggestion were received within the

time limit specified. Therefore, the High Court, considering

the matter in all its detail, decided to amend the Rules

of the High Court of Kerala, 1971 by way of

incorporation of a new Chapter VIII A with new rule 97A.

The notification is intended to achieve the

above object.
