Holding
The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the District & Sessions Judge, Bulandshahr, to decide the stay application within eight months, subject to the absence of any legal impediment.
Summary
The petitioner, Smt. Hoshiyari, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Learned District & Sessions Judge, Bulandshahr, to decide her application dated 16 September 2025 for a stay of execution proceedings arising from a judgment dated 20 August 2025 in Civil Case No. 862 of 2025. The High Court noted that the underlying civil case was still pending and that issuing notices to the respondent was unnecessary.

Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, directing the District Judge to decide the stay application within eight months, provided no other legal impediment exists. The order was pronounced on 6 May 2026.
