Holding
The High Court directed the Civil Judge to decide the temporary injunction application within one month and disposed the writ petition without adjudicating the merits.
Summary
The petitioner filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Gautam Buddh Nagar, to decide a pending temporary injunction application (6-C) in Suit No. 568 of 2026. The petitioner argued that the injunction application had remained undecided for an unreasonable period. The Court, noting that no merit issue needed resolution, disposed of the writ petition at the admission stage without calling for a counter‑affidavit or issuing notice to private respondents. It directed the Civil Judge to decide the injunction application in accordance with law, after hearing all affected parties, preferably within one month of receiving a certified copy of the order. The Court clarified that it had not adjudicated the substantive merits of the underlying suit.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court, exercising its supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227, can issue a mandatory time‑bound direction to a lower court to decide a pending temporary injunction application.
- Whether a writ petition can be disposed at the admission stage without notice to private respondents.
