Holding
The High Court directed the Civil Judge to decide the temporary injunction application within eight months and disposed of the writ petition.
Summary
The petitioners sought a direction from the Allahabad High Court under Article 227 to compel the Civil Judge (Senior Division) in Varanasi to decide a temporary injunction application (paper no. 6 C) filed in Original Suit No. 337 of 2025. The High Court noted that the original suit was still pending and that keeping the writ petition alive would serve no useful purpose. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, but issued a directive that the civil judge decide the injunction application expeditiously, preferably within eight months, without unnecessary adjournments, subject to any legal impediment. No notices were issued to the respondents. The order was signed on May 6, 2026.
