Holding
The Court did not decide the merits but directed the subordinate court to decide the pending 6‑C application within a month.
Summary
The petitioner, Mumtaz Ahmad, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Kaushambi, to decide a pending 6‑C temporary injunction application in Original Suit No. 748 of 2024. The High Court, noting that keeping the matter pending served 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 lower court to decide the 6‑C application, if still pending, in accordance with law, after hearing all affected parties, preferably within one month of the certified copy of the order. The direction was issued without adjudicating the merits of the petition. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court can, under Article 227, direct a subordinate civil court to decide a pending 6‑C temporary injunction application.
- Whether the petition can be disposed of at the admission stage without hearing the respondents.
Subjects
- Article 227
