Holding
The writ petition is disposed of, with a direction to the Additional Civil Judge to decide the pending 7C application within eight months.
Summary
The petitioner, Sukhveer Singh, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division) Court No.9, Mathura, to decide a 7C application filed in Original Suit No.388 of 2009. The petition was the sole relief sought, and counsel for the petitioner requested an expeditious decision. The Court observed that the underlying suit and the 7C application were still pending, rendering the continuation of the writ petition purposeless. Consequently, the Court ordered the petition to be disposed of, while simultaneously directing the lower court to decide the 7C application within eight months, provided no other legal impediment arises. The order was pronounced by Justice Vikas Budhwar on May 6, 2026.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate remedy for a writ petition seeking a direction to a lower court to decide a pending application?
