Holding
The High Court directed the Civil Judge to decide the pending temporary injunction application within one month and disposed of the writ petition without reaching the merits.
Summary
The petitioners filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Chandauli, to decide a pending temporary injunction application (6‑C) in Suit No. 711 of 2022. The petition argued that the application had remained undecided for an unreasonable period. The Court observed that keeping the matter pending served no useful purpose and, without calling for a counter‑affidavit or issuing notice to private respondents, directed the civil judge to decide the injunction application within one month of the certified copy of the order. The petition was disposed of at the admission stage, and the Court clarified that it had not adjudicated the merits of the underlying suit. Consequently, the writ petition stands disposed, with a specific time‑bound direction to the lower court.
Issues considered
- Whether a writ petition under Article 227 can be entertained to compel a lower court to decide a pending temporary injunction application within a specified time‑frame
- Whether notice to private respondents is required in such a writ petition
