Summary
The petitioner, Hardeo, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Junior Division) of Kasya Kushinagar to decide the pending suit No. 69/2014 against Khalil and others within a stipulated period. The petitioner’s counsel, Omkar Nath Rai, argued that the suit needed to be decided expeditiously. The High Court noted that the suit was still pending and that keeping the writ petition alive would serve no useful purpose.
