Holding
The writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage, with a direction to the trial court to decide the 6‑C injunction application within a month, without adjudicating the merits.
Summary
Arvind Kumar Singh filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking the speedy disposal of a temporary injunction (6-C) application filed in Original Suit No. 539 of 2026, along with his objection under Order XXXIX Rule 4 of the CPC. The trial court had granted an ad interim injunction, which the petitioner contested. The High Court, noting that keeping the writ petition pending would serve no useful purpose, disposed of the petition at the admission stage without calling for a counter‑affidavit or issuing notice to private respondents. The Court directed the trial court to decide the 6‑C application, considering the petitioner’s objection, within one month after receiving a certified copy of the order. No merits of the injunction application were decided by the High Court.
Issues considered
- Whether a writ petition under Article 227 can be entertained solely for expeditious disposal of a temporary injunction application and related objection under Order XXXIX Rule 4 CPC
- Whether the High Court can dispose of such a writ petition at the admission stage without hearing the respondents

HON'BLE ROHIT RANJAN AGARWAL, J.
1. This is defendant's petition. In the suit filed by plaintiffs-respondents,
an application for grant of temporary injunction 6-C was moved in which
an ad interim injunction has been granted by trial court against which the
petitioner has moved his objection, which is pending consideration. The
sole prayer made in the writ petition is for expeditious disposal of 6-C
application along with objection.
2. As no useful purpose would be served in keeping the matter pending,
the writ petition is being disposed of, at the admission stage, without
calling for counter affidavit or issuing notice to private respondents, with
a direction upon court concerned to decide the 6-C application filed in
Original Suit No. 539 of 2026, considering the objection filed by
petitioner under Order XXXIX Rule 4 CPC dated 06.05.2026, in
accordance with law, after hearing all affected parties, preferably within a
period of one month, from the date of production of certified copy of this
order.
3. With the aforesaid directions, writ petition stands disposed of.
4. It is made clear that this Court has not adjudicated the matter on merits.
