Holding
The High Court directed the Civil Judge (J.D.), Paschimi, Ballia to decide the pending suit expeditiously, without granting unnecessary adjournments, subject to legal impediments.
Summary
The petitioner, Ram Sakhi, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (J.D.) of Paschimi, Ballia to decide the pending suit (Case No.1022/2021) against the respondents expeditiously and without unnecessary adjournments. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the suit’s delay was unwarranted and that a court order was necessary to compel a speedy trial. The Court observed that the suit was already pending and that keeping the writ petition alive would serve no useful purpose. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition while directing the lower court to decide the suit promptly, subject to any legal impediment. No notices were issued to the respondents, and the petition was dismissed with the specified direction.
