Holding
The writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Civil Judge to decide the original suit expeditiously, ensuring due process.
Summary
The petitioner, Tribhuwan Singh, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Junior Division) of Bidhuna, District Auraiya, to decide his original suit No. 91 of 2022 against Ashish Kumar and another within the stipulated time. The petitioner argued that the suit was pending and required expeditious disposal. The Court noted that keeping the writ petition pending would serve no useful purpose while the suit itself remained unresolved. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition, directing the civil judge to decide the original suit expeditiously, ensuring service of notice and opportunity of hearing to all parties, subject to no other legal impediment. The order effectively dismisses the writ petition while mandating prompt adjudication of the underlying suit.
