Holding
The High Court directed the Civil Judge (Junior Division) Hawali, Azamgarh to decide the 6-C application within eight months, thereby disposing of the writ petition.
Summary
The petitioner, Mohammad Faizan, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Junior Division) of Hawali, Azamgarh to decide a pending 6-C application in Original Suit No. 4139 of 2025 (Shibbu Ahmad & others v. Mohd Faizan) within a stipulated time. The petitioner’s counsel urged an expeditious disposal of the suit. The Court observed that keeping the writ petition pending served no useful purpose while the suit itself remained unresolved. Consequently, the High Court disposed of the writ petition, directing the lower court to decide the 6-C application within eight months of receiving the certified copy of the order, without unnecessary adjournments, subject to any legal impediment. The petition was thus dismissed with a specific directive to the lower court.
