Holding
The High Court directed the Civil Judge (Junior Division)/F.T.C. Court No. 16 to decide the original suit expeditiously, ensuring notice and hearing to all parties.
Summary
The petitioners filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Junior Division)/F.T.C. Court No. 16, Allahabad to decide Original Suit No. 1925 of 2018 expeditiously. The petition alleged that the suit was pending without any progress and that a judicial direction was necessary to ensure speedy disposal. The High Court noted that the suit was still pending and that keeping the writ petition alive would serve no useful purpose. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, directing the lower court to decide the original suit promptly, after serving notice to all respondents and affording them a fair hearing. The order emphasized compliance with law and the provision of a reasonable opportunity to lead evidence, subject to the absence of any other legal impediment.
