Summary
The petitioner, Nooruddin, filed a writ petition under Article 227 seeking a direction to the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Varanasi, to decide an interim injunction application (6-C) in Original Suit No. 1426 of 2024 within a stipulated period. The petitioner argued that the pending application required expeditious disposal. The High Court noted that keeping the writ petition pending would serve no useful purpose while the interim injunction application remained unresolved. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petition and directed the civil judge to decide the interim injunction application within eight months, without unnecessary adjournments, subject to any legal impediment. The order was pronounced on May 7, 2026, by Justice Vikas Budhwar.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court can issue a mandatory direction to a lower civil court to decide an interim injunction application within a specific time frame
