Allahabad High Court

LALTA PRASADversusRAJMANI URF RAJMANI AND 3 OTHERS

Decided: 22 April 2026
Bench: KSHITIJ SHAILENDRA

Holding

The High Court ordered the trial court to take up and decide the temporary injunction application within two months, directing prompt action.

Summary

The petitioner, Lalta Prasad, sought an expeditious disposal of his application for a temporary injunction filed in 2023 against the respondents. The High Court observed that the trial court had been fixing dates with long gaps of two to three months, often due to the presiding officer’s leave or other engagements, causing undue delay. The Court directed the trial court to take up the injunction application immediately, ensure that any objections are filed, and decide the matter within two months of receiving a certified copy of this order. The direction is subject to cooperation by the parties and their counsel. Consequently, the petition was disposed of with specific procedural instructions to the trial court.

Issues considered

Whether the trial court's delay in hearing the temporary injunction application warrants intervention for expeditious disposal.
