Holding
The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Court No. 10, Deoria to decide the restoration application expeditiously, preferably within six months.
Summary
The petitioners, Shyam Sharan and another, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Court No. 10, Deoria, to decide a pending Restoration Application (4‑G) filed in Misc. Case No. 187 of 2011, which arose out of an earlier suit (Original Suit No. 1875/97). The High Court noted that the lower‑court matter was already pending and that keeping the writ petition alive served no useful purpose. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, directing the Civil Judge to decide the restoration application expeditiously, preferably within six months, without unnecessary adjournments, subject to any legal impediment. The order was signed on 6 May 2026 by Justice Vikas Budhwar.
