Holding
The High Court directs the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Haveli, Azamgarh, to decide the suit and the 6C application expeditiously within eight months and disposes of the writ petition.
Summary
The petitioner, Sriram Yadav, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Senior Division) in Haveli, Azamgarh, to expedite the disposal of his suit (Case No. 1219 of 2013) against Mishri and to decide a pending 6C application during the suit's final disposal. The petitioner argued that the lower court had been unduly delaying the proceedings. The High Court observed that since the suit itself was pending, maintaining the writ petition served no useful purpose. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition but issued a direction to the lower court to decide the suit and the 6C application expeditiously, without unnecessary adjournments, within eight months, subject to any legal impediment. The order thus combines disposal of the writ petition with a supervisory direction under Article 227.
