Holding
The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Civil Judge to decide the pending injunction application within eight months.
Summary
The petitioner, Neelam Singh, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the learned Civil Judge, Garvi West Prayagraj, to expedite a permanent injunction application pending in suit No. 185 of 2024. The High Court noted that the suit itself was still pending and that issuing further notices to the respondents would be unnecessary. The Court held that keeping the writ petition pending served no useful purpose while the underlying suit remained unresolved. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of, but the Court directed the Civil Judge to decide the injunction application within eight months of receiving the certified copy of the order, without unnecessary adjournments. The order was pronounced by Justice Vikas Budhwar on May 6, 2026.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate relief, if any, that the High Court can grant in a writ petition seeking direction to expedite a pending civil suit?
