Holding
The writ petition is disposed of, with a direction that the Civil Judge decide the temporary injunction application expeditiously, preferably within one year.
Summary
The petitioners sought a writ directing the Civil Judge (J.D.), City, Farrukhabad to decide a temporary injunction application (6‑C2) filed in Original Suit No. 531 of 2025 and to maintain status quo over the disputed property. The High Court noted that the underlying suit was already pending and that keeping the writ petition alive would serve no useful purpose. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition but issued a direction that the civil judge decide the injunction application expeditiously, preferably within one year, without unnecessary adjournments, subject to any legal impediment. No notices were issued to the respondents. The order thus combines disposal of the writ with a specific time‑bound directive to the lower court.
Issues considered
- Whether the writ petition seeking a direction to the Civil Judge to decide a pending temporary injunction application should be entertained
- Whether the High Court can impose a time‑bound schedule for the disposal of the injunction application
Subjects
- Article 227
