Holding
The High Court directed the Civil Judge to decide the pending case expeditiously, ensuring service of notice and a fair hearing to all parties.
Summary
The petitioner, Samshad, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (J.D.) Hawali, Saharanpur, to decide Misc. Case No. 62 of 2025 pending before that court. The petitioner argued that the lower court had unduly delayed the case and requested an expeditious 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 Civil Judge to decide the pending case promptly, ensuring that notice is served to all respondents and that they are given a fair hearing and opportunity to lead evidence, subject to the absence of any other legal impediment. The order was dated 6 May 2026.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court can, under Article 227, direct a subordinate court to decide a pending case expeditiously?
