Decided

Holding

The petition is disposed of with a direction to the Additional Civil Judge to decide the temporary injunction application within eight months, without unnecessary adjournments.

Summary

The petitioners sought a writ directing the Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division), Court No.5, Mathura, to decide Application 6‑C for a temporary injunction in Original Suit No.228 of 2012 expeditiously, preferably within eight months. The High Court noted 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, issuing a direction to the trial court to decide the injunction application without unnecessary adjournments, subject to any legal impediment. No notices were issued to the respondents. The order aims to ensure speedy resolution of the pending civil matter. The petition was therefore dismissed with the specified direction.

  • Whether the High Court should issue a direction under Article 227 to the trial court to decide a pending application for temporary injunction expeditiously.
