Holding
The High Court directed the Civil Judge (J.D.) Eastern, Ballia to decide the pending application expeditiously within one year, thereby disposing of the writ petition.
Summary
The petitioner, Rohitas Kumar Singh, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (J.D.) Eastern, Ballia, to decide Application No.6C2 (6Ga2) in Original Suit No.510/2024 against Manju Singh and others within a stipulated time. The petitioner argued that the pending application required expeditious disposal. The High Court noted that keeping the writ petition pending served no useful purpose while the suit itself remained pending. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, directing the lower court to decide the application within one year of receiving the certified copy of the order, without unnecessary adjournments, subject to any legal impediment. The order was signed on May 6, 2026, by Justice Vikas Budhwar.
